Serre Chevalier
Reading the piste map
The Serre Chevalier ski system spans a huge area and links Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Le Monêtier — over 250 km of pistes for all abilities.
Epic off-piste and a very high treeline (2300m) make it unlike anywhere else in the Alps. You'll also find a jump park, boardercross tracks, BBQ spots, mountain restaurants, and a purpose-built sledge run dropping 600m with 26 turns.
A ski bus runs between the main towns until late evening, so you can finish with après anywhere and still get back to the chalet easily.

From 1,200 m in Briançon
The ski system starts at 1200m in Briançon and rises to almost 3000m, with an excellent snow record in recent years.
The area offers everything from long gentle pistes to sensational off-piste, particularly in the trees, where openly spaced mélèze larch give an experience unlike anywhere else in the Alps.
Ten minutes from the lifts
Our chalet sits in a quiet, private spot in the centre of Briançon — about a 10-minute walk from the ski lifts and direct access to Serre Chevalier.
Being in town means there's plenty more besides skiing: the old town, mountain and international cuisine, festivals, galleries, night skiing, plus amenities many resorts lack — supermarkets, sports centres, an ice hockey arena and markets. Stay at the chalet in Briançon and ski the other villages from there. Details of the house are on the chalet page.
