Serre Chevalier is one of the largest ski areas in France, uniquely spanning four distinct base areas along the Guisane Valley: the historic UNESCO World Heritage town of Briançon, and the traditional Alpine villages of Chantemerle, Villeneuve, and Le Monêtier-les-Bains. Known for boasting 300 days of sunshine a year, the resort perfectly blends natural beauty with vast, diverse terrain and authentic French mountain culture. The resort is famously celebrated for its extensive tree-lined skiing, with countless pistes winding through ancient, atmospheric larch forests. This not only provides beautiful scenery but also excellent visibility during snowy weather. Above the tree line, the terrain opens up into vast bowls and high-altitude ridges, offering breathtaking panoramas of the spectacular Écrins National Park and superb off-piste opportunities. Holding the prestigious 'Famille Plus' certification, Serre Chevalier goes out of its way to accommodate families with excellent beginner zones, dedicated children's areas, and off-slope activities. Beyond skiing, the natural thermal baths at Le Monêtier-les-Bains and the historic Vauban fortifications of Briançon offer exceptional downtime options, making it a well-rounded destination for all types of winter holidaymakers.
