Once again this winter, the resort is offering a host of great deals, immersive experiences and festive events. Here's a look at what makes the resort such an inspired family haven.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A simplified stay with the Horizon Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Orci\u00e8res, apr\u00e8s-ski isn't just about getting back to your flat. With the Pass Horizon, available from two days' skiing, the resort offers an all-in-one package that is winning over more and more families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/orcieres-merlette-1850-trail-etoile-pere-noel-major-winter-events-not-to-be-missed\/\">Orci\u00e8res Merlette 1850: star-studded trail, Father Christmas... Winter highlights not to be missed<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as ski lifts, this pass includes unlimited access to the Palais des Sports swimming pool and ice rink. It's a simple way of alternating between skiing and indoor leisure activities, without the need for multiple tickets or logistical constraints. A modern vision of the resort, where everything is within easy reach, from the great outdoors to shared moments of relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Schoolbag on snow, or how to ski without dropping out of school<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orci\u00e8res is one of the few resorts to have developed a genuine alternative to the school holidays. With the <em>Schoolbag in the snow<\/em>, Children aged 6 to 11 can take ski lessons in the mornings and then benefit from school support in the afternoons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme, devised in conjunction with teachers, combines learning with holidays. Offered from the beginning of January to the beginning of February, and again in the spring, this formula appeals to families looking for peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, without compromising on the school rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sled dogs, a life-size Nordic immersion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the unspoilt plateau of Rocherousse, the experience takes on a whole new dimension. Accompanied by musher Philippe Desmurger, who has taken part in the Grande Odyss\u00e9e several times, families discover the world of mushing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your mood, you can let yourself be carried along in the sled or learn to guide a team yourself. The silence of the mountains, the breath of the dogs, the winter light: for children and parents alike, the magic happens instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. In the footsteps of the chamois, with snowshoes on your feet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Friday morning, we head for the village of Prapic, the gateway to the Ecrins National Park. With their snowshoes on, the families set off in search of chamois, often visible in the early hours of the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supervised by enthusiastic guides, this gentle hike combines wildlife observation, environmental awareness and shared wonder. A contemplative outing that will leave a lasting impression on the youngest visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Christmas at home... with Santa himself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Orci\u00e8res, the magic of Christmas takes on a very tangible form. On the morning of 25 December, Father Christmas can literally knock on families' doors to hand out presents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/orcieres-merlette-1850-new-features-to-discover-this-winter-in-the-ski-area\/\">Orci\u00e8res Merlette 1850: what's new this winter in the ski area<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An intimate activity, subject to registration, that turns Christmas Eve into an unforgettable memory for children. A detail that speaks volumes about the attention paid to families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. The Tourn\u00e9e des Sommets, a great festive event for children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On 28 February, Orci\u00e8res will be hosting the Tourn\u00e9e des Sommets, an event entirely dedicated to youngsters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun workshops, an inflatable toboggan run, creative activities and a parade of emblematic characters will punctuate the afternoon on the snow front.
