Orelle - What's the skiing like?

Will be going to the 3 Valleys at the end of Jan for a month and I am keen to venture over to Orelle. Has anyone been and would they be able to tell me what the skiing is like over there?

Limited, but fantastic, mainly due to the great itinerary Pierre Lory (sp?)

If you could teleport between Courchevel and Orelle then you need never
visit the other two overrated valleys. Ooh contentious!

Ok, I'll bite, please tell me more, where is it and how do you get to it
from Courcheval?

Jeesh, Ski fast, navigate fast, don't stop for lunch and don't take any
prisoners, and you could get 2 or 3 runs down Pierre Lorry before hurtling
back.

One word of warning, the fastest way back is at the ridge between Orelle &
Val Thoren is to walk up the piste about 150 yds, in order to ski down
pistes that land you higher up the base of the Val Thoren valley.

Beware the queues in Mottaret on the way out and higher up the Mottaret
valley on the way back. Queues in the immediate vicinity of Val Thoren can
be horrific late season.

It is an exhilarating excursion, and I managed it late season.
