Ski area Orcières
Directly from the resort you can easily reach the pistes of Drouvet and Méollion, which especially appeal to Alpine skiers. The descent from the Drouvet peak is recommendable to the more experienced, but also the north flanks of Serre-Eyraud are popular with pro skiers. The ascent to the vast slopes between Rocherousse and Lac des Estaris takes a little longer than others, but it is worth it.
Snowboarders will find a snow park on the Plateau de Rocherousse, at an altitude of 2,280 m, and a special boardercross run at the piste de Rochasson.
