Pros and cons
- Large, varied mountain with options for all
- Fantastic variety of tree-lined slopes – great for bad weather
- Good value and relatively unknown outside of France
- Busy through-roads in the main resort towns
- Although they have improved, still a lot of slow lifts
- High-altitude links between sectors can close in bad weather
On the Slopes
The resort’s north facing slopes sit between 1,200m and 2,800m, though in reality 80% lie above 2,000m, giving great snow reliability. In addition, the high treeline at over 2,100m means there are some great places to head to in a snowstorm. The once-antiquated lift system has seen investment in recent years and more new lifts are planned to speed up getting around even further, which is welcome as many of the lifts are still slow and old.
There are good beginner areas in the valley at Villeneuve and Le Monêtier, as well as higher up the hill at Serre Ratier. Fast learners will quickly get to enjoy the resort’s longer greens – we’d recommend those at Grande Alpe. Much of the rest of the pisted terrain is ideal for intermediates and there are great options both within and above the treeline. On a powder day, the area comes alive for advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders, particularly in the high bowls at L’Eychauda and beneath the Pic de L’Yret.
In the Resort
Each of the Serre Chevalier villages are based on a simple old centre, with narrow cobbled streets lined by small shops, cosy bars, hotels and traditional restaurants. These give each a very French feel. Briancon is more of a town and its 17th Century, fortified centre is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – it is well worth exploring one afternoon or on a bad weather day.
There are numerous hotels in the valley, most of which are very reasonably priced and many have excellent facilities for children – the resort is very popular with French families (which also means it is best to avoid the French February half term as it can be crowded). Each village has its own quiet après ski scene, with the action focussed on small local bars and a quiet beer or vin chaud very much the order of the day.

France
Updated 10/02
An incredibly snowy – stupidly snowy – absurdly snowy – – week begins for the French Alps, as a series of low pressure areas sweep in from Scandinavia, over the North Sea and British Isles, before hitting the continent and the Alps hard. Snow is already falling on Tuesday where around 20cm is expected down across higher ground. Overnight this picks up, and significant snowfall will fall on Wednesday with around 2ft expected down – the freezing line is hovering around 1,500m, meaning most of this will hit lower slopes but overnight snowfall will reach all slopes.
On Thursday things will begin to turn stupid: a metre (100cm) of snowfall is expected down over the French Alps, hitting most slopes as the freezing line drops to around 1,000m. Higher winds can be expected on this day as well.
The avalanche risk will increase dramatically over the course of the coming days, thanks to this new snowfall and sitting on a persistent weak layer. In places, this is already forecasted to hit Level 5 on the European scale, the highest available, indicating extraordinarily high risk of extreme slides. You should not be travelling away from protected pistes of infrastructure during this time, and expect large areas of the resort to be closed as avalanche mitigation takes place.
Snowfall continues into Friday, with the tailend of this storm bringing another foot across Friday and Saturday. The weather is suggesting it might clear on Sunday, with fine, dry and bright conditions forecasting, meaning Sunday should be the day to chase powder, although you should continue to check and plan your off piste travel carefully.
