Orsières

Orsières

The church of Orsières with its bell-tower from the eleventh century is the town’s major landmark. Orsières enjoys a mild and relatively dry climate, being protected by the imposing mass of the surrounding mountains. On its slopes grow innumerable medicinal and aromatic plants, used in the manufacture of beauty and healthcare products. Excellent food is available not only in the superb local restaurants, but also from local, traditional producers: sausages, cheese, rye bread, honey and red fruits. Les Alpes restaurant belongs to Samuel Destaing, the star chef famed for his regional culinary emphasis with a subtle twist.
