Serre Chevalier

About the ski resort Serre Chevalier

One of the largest ski resorts in Europe.

Sunshine, fresh air... A ski area with over 250km of slopes: the Grand Serre Che. A warm, hearty welcome... Delightful traditional alpine villages. A way of life that comes with a smile. An Alpine valley with the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine: The Guisane Sporting highs! The feelgood factor! In the mountains of the Hautes Alpes.
There is a friendly atmosphere in the Guisane valley. This small valley opens its doors to tourists, without losing a sense of its traditions. Its permanent population are mountain folk at heart with an affinity for the south, a friendly smile for their visitors and a real sense of ’well-being’. In the Guisane valley you’re not just a tourist, you’re a guest.

As the winter winds blow in from the east, huge drifts of snow build up here. Yet the bad weather doesn’t stay for long, and as the clear blue skies return mountain lovers ski and board the slopes of the immense plateau that overlooks the right bank of the Guisane river. It is mostly north-facing and drops down towards Briançon just after the Pic du Prorel (2572m).
With its superb forests of centuries-old larches and a huge variety of pines, the ski area offers extremely varied and athletic skiing and boarding through valleys and coombs, from tree-lined pistes to wider, more open runs. In this high-mountain environment you can ski or board from one slope to the next, from cosy runs through the woods that meander through and between the trees and each other. Also on offer in Serre Chevalier are some exceptional off-piste runs where the more extreme riders will feel at home.
A good skier in Serre Chevalier can cover more than 6000m vertical metres of descent in a single day.
Cross-country skiers are also catered for in Serre-Chevalier. The resort has a ’real’ cross-country track that winds its way along the bottom of the valley, running through the villages and larch forests, and which holds a quality label from the French cross-country skiing association.

Serre Chevalier is waiting for you.
