The Skiers' Guide to Serre Chevalier

A good 4 centre resort offering a good variety of skiing and pretty snow sure being north facing. We enjoyed the spa at Monetier after long days skiing and there were a few nice restaurants and bars as well to be enjoyed. Bus transport between the 4 centres was good and overall we enjoyed our trip.

Seree chavellier is spread across a number of valleys. This provides extensive and varies skiing. From wide groomed pistes to long red, green and blue runs through trees. You can ski across to all the resorts and there a regular buses back to your resort until late evening.
The restaurants are not as expensive as the northern Alps resorts. You also have the option to take food up to the mountain, as there are numerous BBQ stations and plug sockets. We saw a full on BBQ on numerous occasions and one family even brought an electric coffee machine!!!
We went with children and we have been back to the same place now a few times. Recommended for skiers of different levels. When there is good snow, there is lots of off piste to do.

Really loved this place. Great snow, great atmosphere and easy links to get into town. Good variety of different slops as well

Chantemerle is a fabulous resort. Right at the foot of the slopes with a great range of skiing for all levels. Fantastic restaurants and we loved our hotel too!

Great resort - lots of variety in runs, and we made use of the option to redeem free days in other nearby resorts (own transport required). Town was quiet when we went but were outside peak holiday season so might be more going on in holidays!

Serre Chevalier was a lively resort and one I'd definitely go back to. It wasn't as cheap as some people made out, but certainly had a broad and varied ski zone. My only downside was the weather...it got hot and melted the snow so the lower ski slopes became slushy and made it difficult to return to the village centre at times.

I highly recommend Serre Chevalier! Great skiing resort, very French, not too many other nationalities which is lovely. Very quiet in January as well! No apres but nice atmosphere at the bottom in some bars after skiing and cheap drinks! The weather is always great, very sunny.

Great ski resort, not too big so not busy, no lift queues during week days. Very accessible for beginners. Great mountain restaurant options. It is a small resort so not loads of bars and restaurants for the evenings.

Really great resort, lots of variety of runs from beginner to advanced, family friendly and huge resort,

Fantastic resort very friendly with lots of varied terrain, been there for the last 4 years and will be going again next year.

Conditions were amazing this week, even the black runs felt like reds. Week was comparatively quiet, Saturday was busier but there was also a ski event planned. Nice big area, we were in Monetier but easy to access all areas.

We stayed at the UCPA. Very close to the slopes. Lift times were good and the slopes weren't too busy.

Nice and quiet place to ski over Christmas, but that may be because of a lack of fresh snow. Think it may be used by locals who did not travel at this time.
Nevertheless, 80% of area skiable, if a bit icy in patches. A good place for us intermediates to visit.

Lovely report. Great skiing - good range of runs but greens weren’t nursery slopes!
Lovely people, quiet in mid-Jan.
Apres ski limited from what we found.
Food delicious!!

Just amazing for learning - more for the ski and chill - cool vibe, not a super posh vibe which I loved!

Local town stunning. Unreal route called ‘Chemin’ with magnificent views.

Stayed with ski Miquel , loved it staff where great food was great , short walk to the boot store, the staff there were great as well . Ski area had plenty of variety and the we found some really good restaurants on the mountain. Would definitely return.

A good, no frills area, covering four main towns / villages across 250km. Basic lifts, drags are a bit violent and are button lifts, so beware boarders! Queues not very long most of the time. Well groomed pistes. Many kept non-pisted. Great off-piste options, which run back to piste. A lot of off-piste tree options. Overall, good variety for different levels of skiers. You do need to be able to ski a red run to link Monetier with Villeneuve/Moulin Taravellier.

Good piste skiing above 2000m. Pleasant skiing among trees at lower altitude. Most lifts are a bit antiquated and could do with upgrading. Lovely traditional villages with traditional good-value food and drink. A relaxing resort to ski!

We were lucky to stay fairly central, so the link between hotel, ski hire and lifts was short and convenient.
Some green runs are a definite blue.

Really good resort if you’re lucky with the snow. Big enough to explore for a few days. All kinds of runs from beginner to expert off piste.
