What Skiers Say About Serre Chevalier

Serre Chevalier attracts a wide range of skiers and snowboarders, from beginners to experts, with many reviewers noting the extensive 250km ski area spread across four villages. Intermediate and advanced riders consistently praise the varied terrain, tree-lined runs, and accessible off-piste options. The resort is described as quiet, particularly outside French school holidays, with minimal lift queues and a relaxed, authentic French atmosphere. Common criticisms include outdated lift infrastructure, limited après-ski options, and lower altitude base areas that can suffer from poor snow conditions or become slushy in warmer weather. Reviews frequently highlight good value for money and praise the authenticity of the villages, though some note that prices are still typical for France.

We had an amazing week here as a couple ! The slopes were fabulous and we did mainly your, red and black. The hotel was very quaint and friendly with a great bar and restaurant. There were also a few lovely bars nearby with a great atmosphere. We did the whole mountain in a week and have never skied so much ! Would highly recommend and will be returning.

A great resort but lower altitude than others so we didn’t benefit from the huge amount of snow other resorts got
Very French (which we like) and not overly touristy

Great ski area for intermediates, lots of variety on red and blue runs. However very few snow cannons so there needs to be lots of snow.
Village is quiet, little apres and social scene but very authentic and pretty.

Such an underrated ski resort with excellent pistes and tree lined runs. It’s such a good resort for families with lots of non skiing activities to do too.

Lovely resort with good lifts. Gets dark early as north facing. Not a lot of snow when I visited but I think I was unlucky

Great resort with lots of skiing. Busy on the weekends and connecting lifts do not operate in high winds. That happened 2 times in our week.

Great area. Quiet slopes second week of Jan. A lot of varied terrain. Great restaurant options on the slopes. Natural Baths with outdoor heated pool was amazing. Only thing that I would say is there’s not much après where we stayed, but good options in other towns in the area. All in all a great resort for a couples getaway.

Great place with a lot of ski area.
But towns are quite quiet with only a few bars. Great ski schools though and friendly atmosphere.

Lucked out with awesome snow fall in Feb. Resort was fairly quiet and plenty of options for off piste. With 250km of runs there was plenty to keep busy for a week. Apres was fairly quiet apart from 1 place called La Grotte with a fairly young crowd. Definitely going back

Great area for off piste and tree skiing. A little limited for on piste terrain. Nice runs but not a great number of them. Nice local restaurants and old village centres

While the lifts are a little older and the ski area a little smaller, this is all reflected in the cost of the resort.

On the cheaper side, we generally found this resort quiet. At times you could have entire runs to yourself, which was bliss after spending last year in a busy resort in Austria.

The runs did tend to the harder side, so start slow and easy. The lifts could get very busy, and due to their age would occasionally stop for no reason. They’re planning some major improvements over the next couple of years, which should improve all of this!

I love Serre Che, have been twice now. Always seems relitively quiet, some decent easy access off-piste after some powder. Huge area to explore. Some pretty cheap accom in Briancon to boot.

I've been here three times, the snow is good and it has a vast range of piste skiing for all levels.
Typically lifts are quiet and you can get across the full mountain with ease.

There is lots of off piste but Iv never tried it

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.
