The world heritage site of Briançon is not a typical mountain resort. It is a year-round alpine town — with ski pistes into the centre, night skiing, and a walled citadel.
You'll find restaurants and bars serving cuisine from around the world, plus festivals and music throughout the year. You get a traditional ski holiday here — and a whole lot more besides.
Linked directly to the Serre Chevalier ski system, Briançon is a town and a ski holiday in one place. See the piste map.
If friends or family don't want to ski, there's plenty more to keep them entertained. The lifts run in summer too — mountain biking, hiking and swimming in the lakes.
Briançon sits on the Italian border, about 1.5 hours from Turin airport, with trains from Paris, Lyon and Grenoble. Serre Che Chalet is in the centre, about 10 minutes' walk from the lifts. See the chalet or stay here and ski the valley.
The location is perfect for exploring the local area — nipping over for an Italian coffee, swimming in the Serre-Ponçon lakes, or taking a cable car onto the glacier at nearby La Grave by foot, ski or bike. The area has it all, summer or winter.
