Why choose a campsite in Les Orres?
Les Orres, Hautes-Alpes resort between lake and mountains
Looking for a mountain vacation? Take to the skies at Les Orres, a Hautes-Alpes resort set high above the Lac de Serre-Ponçon. All around you, the peaks of the Parpaillon massif and panoramic views over the valley immediately make you want to slow down. The resort near our campsite in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur has the simple charm of a mountain destination, where you can come to breathe, walk and enjoy family activities.
A mountain campsite for family vacations
At a mountain campsite, you'll rediscover the pleasure of spending time outdoors with your children. It's easier to keep phones in your bags, especially when the network disappears on the trails. Instead, look out for edelweiss and marmots, and enjoy a breath of fresh air with the whole family. With its "Famille Plus" label, the resort also offers activities for all ages, from tobogganing in summer to ski lessons in winter.
What type of campsite should I choose near Les Orres?
4 and 5 star campsites in the Hautes-Alpes
Behind the wooden facades of a luxury campsite, chalets, studios and cosy apartments invite you to take in the mountain scenery. In the heart of a larch forest, the days start gently with a coffee on your accommodation's sunny terrace. Available in both summer and winter, these accommodations welcome small tribes of 3 as well as large groups of 10.
Inside, you'll find a fully-equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms and comfortable rooms for sharing your stay without stepping on each other's toes. In some Hautes-Alpes campsite accommodation, the Nordic bath adds a real wellness break after a day on the trails or slopes.
Campsite with swimming pool near Les Orres
Even on mountain vacations, the pool is often the children's first playground. At a campsite with a heated pool, your little fish spend hours in the water, swimming and playing ball. They'll soon forget all about the morning spent searching for marmots in the valley.
In the meantime, relax on a sun lounger facing the mountains, with a book in hand.
Family camping in the Southern Alps

Check out the entertainment program on the Sunêlia app as soon as you arrive, to spot their favorite activities. At the end of the afternoon, everyone gathers around the pool table or table soccer.
