The Skiers' Guide to Serre Chevalier

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.

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.

We had a great time here, unfortunately we didn't get any Powder days, its a big resort with plenty of runs for all abilities, would definitely go back

Amazing week in Serre chevalier ! Lots of gorgeous slopes and lifts worked very well . Access to many different runs and lots of places for a pint afterwards ! ESF ski school was great and really pushed me from beginner to intermediate. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice family friendly resort with great restaurants and accommodation.

I often think Serre Chevalier is still the hidden gem of the alps. The ski area is massive, the 4th biggest in the alps. The negatives, its 4 charming villages and a proper town meaning it’s not ski in ski out, but they are charming villages and there’s a range of accommodation options. Briancon (the town) one and is, a proper town, and the lift access isn’t great but the old town is worth a visit. At the other end of the valley is Moneitier, a lovely quiet village with hot spring spa.
Eating out is great. Apres is not brilliant but try the Grotte.
Skiing is so varied - and massive. It’ll take a day to ski between villages.
Park is OK for intermediates.
Off piste is there if you know where to look.
Overall an amazing resort.

Quiet, well kept slopes. Something for everyone regardless of level. Not too many slow connecting tracks that are tricky for boarders. Low key après options; cosy bars and a bit of live music depending on the venue. The connection with other resorts under Grande Galaxie allows for an inexpensive day trip or two for anyone feeling adventurous.

Loved the ski area in Serre Chevalier
Very big well groomed lost of different experience level runs.
Quite a treck to get from one side of the mountain to the other.
Not a man made resort so accommodation is all down in the valley so not great for the piste side April but amazing skiing. North facing mountain the whole way so usually well mainted snow as doesn't get too slushed up by the sun.

Serre Chevalier is a great, quiet and cheaper resort. Perfect for beginners and intermediates! I would highly recommend.

I've skied all over France but I keep coming back to Serre Chevalier. It's not the biggest and the snow isn't always amazing but the friendliness of everyone on the slopes and the ease of getting away from the crowds more than makes up for that. There's some fantastic red runs above Chantermerle and taking the black Luc Alphand down at the end of the day is a must. Not at all top end but very family friendly and something for everyone. The DIY barbeque area at the top of Cucumelle is a must. Just make sure you bring something with you to cook. A slice of proper French skiing.

Great family snow sure resort with easy greens at altitude. Short transfer from Turin. Tree lined runs. Plenty of non skiing activities.

Brilliant resort for families. Loads of long runs of for all abilities. Excellent English speaking skills school. Feels very safe and also peaceful. 600 days of sunshine at this resort.

Outstanding resort that’s the best kept secret in the alps. Ignore the base height all the skiing is above 2000 and it’s outstanding!

Visited with a large group and there was various different levels of skiers. Good resort for end of season runs weather helped

Good overall, not too busy and good variety of slopes. Could have been better groomed/pistebashed. Nice spots around the mountain to grab a beer

Good snow, amazing scenery, great value and great customer service. First time in Serre Cavalier, but definitely would return.

Great ski area very low key and friendly unpretentious resort with mostly north facing slopes holding there snow well. Lots of lift accessed off piste with great tree skiing.very reasonably priced. Easy access to nearby resorts. Good skiing for all standards. Will definitely go again

A spread out resort so once you're up in the morning it never seems too crowded. And because it covers a big area, there are always options to ski to for lunch. Allegedly one of the best resorts for sunshine - but didn't really notice that in January.
