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 Common criticisms include outdated lift infrastructure, limited après-ski options, and lower altitude base areas that can suffer from poor snow conditions or become slushy in warmer weather.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.

Fantastic resort for our family holiday. Amazing ski school for th children and although the snowfall hadn’t been great, above the treeline was still great and below the machines worked so well pistes to the village were reopened during our stay.

This is an overlooked resort. It has a lot to offer for all sorts of skier and border. Some great piste runs above and in the trees, with extensive off-piste to be had.

First visit to Serre Chevalier, really happy we chose it.
Big enough to keep a family of 4 intermediates (2 teens) occupied, but not so big that it’s overwhelming.
Some lovely wide runs, slopes well groomed. Moguls seemed to be mostly reserved to the black runs. Lower slopes were slushy but that’s to be expected in April.
Kids enjoyed the funny cross and the park.
Resort was quiet so no queuing,

Excellent skiing at altitude, and wonderful tree runs. Lovely feel in the valley with old villages and churches. Access to cheap big supermarkets possible in briancon with a very effective and affordable bus along the valley to get there. Publicly available gas BBQs up the mountain in picnic areas a big plus!

Nice resort. Good access to the kids ski school. I was a bit disappointed with the access to green runs from Briancon as my wife is not confident. The parking in Briancon was also very limited for access to the lifts.

A really great resort on the whole featuring a large variety of different coloured runs, meaning that all levels are catered for. The piste map area is quite large and connects 4 different villages or towns. Food and drink on the slopes varies in price but you can find it reasonably priced.

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.

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
