Serre Chevalier Overview

Serre Chevalier (“Serre Che” to locals) is the collective name for 13 villages stretching 10 miles (15km) along the Guisane Valley. Regular visitors here appreciate the friendly atmosphere, relatively low prices, varied skiing and proximity to other ski resorts like La Grave. The four main ski stations are based around old villages and each have their own distinctive character. Briançon is a large working town, Chantemerle has a charming old centre with relatively contained new developments, Villeneuve is home to several large hotels and apartment blocks, as well as the largest concentration of lifts and Monêtier les Bains is a sleepy little hamlet, with some upmarket restaurants and a major new spa.
