Reconciling tourism and eco-responsibility, Les Orres protects the environment thanks to a car-free ski resort. At the same time, it has embarked on a European programme, the Alpine Space, which encourages resorts to promote good practices at altitude concerning energy transition.

Since 2014, the resort has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions and energy bills by 20%. In addition, in 2016, the resort received the Trophée des Cimes Durables (Sustainable Peaks Trophy), an award for its actions in favour of the environment.
