Ornex is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.
It is located on the RN5 highway between the Jura mountains and the Swiss border.
Located nine kilometres from Geneva, many inhabitants commute across the Swiss border each morning to jobs with international organizations and multinational corporations. The census of 1999 revealed that 62.5% of working residents were employed outside of the Ain département.
A section of the 27 km (17 mi) tunnel excavated by CERN between 1983 and 1988 passes under the town. Originally excavated for the LEP collider, the tunnel now houses the Large Hadron Collider that started operating in 2008. The major visible presence of the LHC tunnel in the area are some surface buildings and some large helium gas tanks further North in Cessy. There are also a number of smaller tunnel Access Points, including one on the border of Ornex and Ferney-Voltaire. Liquid helium is used to cool the LHC's superconducting magnets.
Ornex is relatively well served by restaurants, with approximately one restaurant for every 450 residents.
