Serre Chevalier - Community Reviews & Ratings

Lots of good fairly quiet red runs, off piste close to lifts, and good family runs. Bigger area that it looks, but a few old lifts needing upgrade. Nice towns

Extensive area, wide variety of slopes, especially intermediate, easy access to substantial off piste, friendly, understated, good value

Hidden gem. Substantial ski area. Four villages to choose from. Briancon biggest. We stayed in Villeneuve. Quieter village with a vibrant local community. Wide, well groomed pistes. Slow lifts. Accessible and good quality mountain restaurants. Best village bars and local restaurants a little off the beaten track and need pointing out. Took train from Paris to Grenoble and a two hour shared transfer from there. Easy. Would happily return.

Great resort with lots of off piste options. Many chair lifts to different skiing areas from beginner to advanced

Went for Christmas and new year so was a little busy on the main bowl into the mid station. Hadnt snowed much so some slopes closed but the village had lots of events on which was free and great entertainment

I was lucky that there was a lot of snow during my week and so the off-piste was fantastic. The instructors from Ski Connections were some of the very best instructors I have experienced and I would highly recommend them. The lift system is old and needs some investment, but except on the sunniest days the queues were short. On the sunny days some connecting lifts had long queues.

Excellent resort with wide range of skiing options. Lifts feel outdated/slightly dangerous and more money needs to be invested. Compared to other European countries France always feels expensive and busy, but great variety of options for eating out and apres ski. Lovely little town attached to main ski resort with bakeries and delis.

Family feel resort catering for all ages and extensive ski area with interconnected lift system caters for all standards, with a mix of snow fields and tree lined runs.

Brilliant resort, so many runs .Great off piste .So much mountain. Friendly. Great lifts .Love this resort so much can ski there for 7 days and not touch the same run.

Amazingly large ski area with all the upper lifts linking easily, long wide flowing runs and plenty of off piste within the bowls but bring your avalanche equipment as this is a requirement, they even have echo checks at all off piste bowls so you can check your gear

Brilliant tree lined skiing in a snow sure resort. Pretty villages that line the valley,low key and family friendly. Great hotel and food was superb. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend Serre Chevalier! Been here too many times to count now and love it every single time. Always sunny, with 300 days of sunshine a year but amazing conditions at the same time! Big ski area to explore with some great runs and also very quite out of peak times!

Beautiful resort with lots of variety. Good lift connections, and suitable for both skirts & boarders. Not too busy, but still vibrant

Great for all skiing levels, perfect weather and conditions for the entire duration of our stay, would come back again next year!

Great access from village, walkable. Some lifts need modernising. Broad range of runs and quiet tracks. Would return.

We went to Serre Che in Feb 2024. Despite there being no snow the time we were there, the runs were looked after well and it was only on the last day where it got quite slushy, due to hotter weather.Theres a really good selection of runs for everyone and the ski pass covers the area from Briancon right up the valley. Transport is great between villages (buses seemed frequent enough) if you want to explore other places.If youre looking for lively apres then its not really the place for that - but it is perfect for some relaxed drinks at the end of the day and some awesome French mountain food too. 100% recommend for those wanting a great ski holiday with a more relaxed apres option.

Serre Chevalier has an excellent range of skiing to suit all levels, from well groomed runs to unpisted blacks, and excellent offpiste. Too many ski areas groom every piste every night, especially Italian areas, leaving offpiste as the only challenge for advanced skiers, but not in Serre Chevalier.

Good ski with a lot of tree runs. Plenty of off piste to explore and good touring options. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere different.

Superb ski area with lots of tree-line skiing. Has a real 'local' French feel unlike many resorts. Stay in Briancon if you need to save costs, as accommodation is cheaper here.

Really lovely family friendly resort. Can be busy during French school holidays. Easy to get to via Turin
