Introduction:
Serre Chevalier is a friendly, good-value resort with a fine range of pistes to suit any skier or boarder. A strong point is the tree cover (a rarity in the French Alps), which ensures potentially good skiing even in poor weather, while the open slopes and bowls are great fun during the resort's more common sunny periods.
The nightlife in Serre Chevalier ski resort is rather low key, and the mix of rustic and modern ambience in the various villages is somewhat offset by heavy traffic along what is the main Grenoble-Briançon road.
Location:
Serre Chevalier is located close to the Italian border in the glaciated upper Durance Valley of the Southern French Alps, on the boundary of the Parc des Écrins, which is within the Écrins Massif – the highest mountain range entirely within France.
