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 Lifts feel outdated/slightly dangerous and more money needs to be invested.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
