Built in 2005 in wood and stone, the residence comprises 173 new spacious and fully equipped apartments. Facilities available to guests at the eco hotel include a lobby, hotel safe, lift access, a breakfast room, car park, garage (fees apply) and bicycle hire service (fees apply).

The residence is ideally located at the foot of the escalator leading to the heart of the resort with easy access to the ski resort and shops (200 m). Caressing the Écrins National Park and the valleys of Champsaur and Valgaudemar, Orcières prides itself on being different. Indeed, Orcières 1850 offers this rare alchemy between the snowy Alps in the north, and the sun and light of the Southern Alps. The nearest train station is around 33 km from the family-friendly apartment hotel and nearby airports include Marseille Provence Airport (213 km away), Megève (222 km away), Lyon-Saint Exúpery (232 km away), Geneva International (249 km away) and Nice-Cote D'Azur International (360 km away).
