Spread across a number of villages and hamlets, the Serre Chevalier valley’s not your usual alpine resort – but that’s what we like about it. While you won’t find a main hub of restaurants, bars and accommodation, a stay in one of the villages gives you a more ski-focussed, budget friendly week on the mountains. Briancon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Monêtier are the four main bases, each with their own character, but all with terrific lift access to the mountain. Typical French Briancon sits at the fa...
With some of the best conditions in the French Alps (80% of the slopes are above 2000m) the ski area includes wide-open, sunny plateaus, scenic tree lined runs and a perfectly groomed blanket of white beneath your skis or board. The piste can be accessed from all four towns and nursery slopes run from each allowing beginners to gain some confidence in peace - with help from the excellent ski schools in the area they’ll be progressing higher in no time! Beginners will find a number of gentle blues and steady ...
There’s never a dull moment here and with four different towns oozing character you’re sure to find something to suit you. Ski down the home run at Chantemerle to find the popular station bar where après ski begins with a happy hour or if you’re based in Villeneuve, the Grotto at the base of the slopes is the place to be for that après ski buzz! 1420 in Briancon is perfect for an evening of sophisticated drinks. The liveliest après is found at Villeneuve with a number of bars for evening drinks - The Frog ...

"Can’t fault it, unbelievable food"

Ian Stewart, Sandbanks
5/ out of 5
I don’t stay anywhere else now when I go to Serre Chevalier, in the last two years I’ve stayed there three times. The food is fantastic, with really interesting French dishes - restaurant is very traditional with oak beams etc. I’ve stayed here with a friend but also with my 14 year old son who’d try things he’d never try at home and has always enjoyed whatever was on the menu. The only thing I would say is to make sure you’re in a south facing room looking over the main slopes. You do have to pay a premium but you get a much larger room and have a balcony, so it’s definitely worth pushing the boat out a little bit more. The rooms are modern and have always been well cleaned while we were out skiing, I don’t have a bad thing to say about them. It’s not necessarily a young family hotel and is more for teenagers plus, i.e. if you have a family with teenage children it’s perfect. The facilities include a swimming pool (which is always on) and a sauna (although I’ve never used it). It’s also a short walk to the slopes (I’d say probably 10 minutes tops) and all the ski hire shops offer the facility to store your equipment overnight which makes things much easier.

We swapped our room for a room with a balcony which is definitely worth doing, ours was facing the ski slopes which was nice. We had a ground floor one but the 1st and 2nd floors would probably be even better. The room itself was quite standard as you find in France, small and old fashioned in many ways. The hotel is family run by a mother and son and the food they did was fantastic. You didn’t have a massive choice but it was usually 2 meat dishes and a fish dish. Breakfast was fine and depending on what time you leave on the last day, they give you a breakfast bag to take with you. The distance to the slopes is good, we left our stuff in a local hire shop and just walked down each morning – it cost me 15-20€ to leave my stuff there for the week and my partner hired her equipment so it was free. The lockers are near one of the main chairs so it was all very convenient. The hotel has a small bar and there is a pool, but it’s too cold to use and the area is quite worn out.
