Serre Chevalier
Serre Chevalier is an extensive ski resort in the southern Alps, based around Briancon.
The ski region - known informally as Le Grand Serre Che - consists of Briancon, and several other towns and villages including Villeneuve, Chantemerle, Les Monetier-les-Bains and others in a beautiful environment near the Ecrins National Park.
The extensive ski slopes of Serre Chevalier are accessed by numerous ski lifts, with the ski runs especially reputed because of the opportunity they offer to ski through the larch forests of the lower Alps.
The wide range of slopes, with 115 ski runs available at altitudes from 1200 metres up to 2800 metres, ensures there are suitable options for skiers of all levels and abilities.
Due to the southerly location, the resort also has a very high number of sunny days in the year - and also usually has very good snow conditions in season, helped by having north-facing slopes and snow cannons when on the lower slopes when necessary (although the season is a bit shorter than some of the higher, more northern Alpine ski resorts).
As with all the major ski regions, Serre Chevalier is also popular during the summer months for the outdoor and mountain related activities it provides, such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and mountain climbing. There are chairlifts in operation at Briancon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Les Monetiers-les-Bains during the summer months to provide access to the high mountains.
