REVIEW RESORT AND WIN

SERRE CHEVALIER SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The skiing in Serre Chevalier is best suited to beginners and intermediates with tree-lined pistes above the holiday resorts and more open skiing and snowboarding terrain higher up. There are 13 villages (4 of them dominant) that make up Serre Chevalier. In general the resorts are authentic, attractive and offer a distinct change from the purpose built resorts in France. Après ski in Serre Chevalier is quiet, especially compared to others in the region such as Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez. The resorts have bars but the dislocation does little for the atmosphere.
