Orelle

Few settlements in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes have a history as closely tied to alpine pastoralism as Orelle. Set above the Arc River in the Maurienne valley, this small Savoyard commune is formed by several hamlets on slopes below high Alpine terrain. Its parish church of Saint-Maurice reflects the area’s enduring mountain-community traditions. Today, Orelle is also an access point to the Trois Vallées ski area, with lifts linking the valley to the high slopes towards Val Thorens. Beyond winter, the Maurienne is defined by mountain roads, pastures and walking routes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Orelle and the Maurienne valley.
