Serre Chevalier
Serre Chevalier Vallée
A large French ski area directly linked to the town of Briançon, with about 250 km of slopes winding through larch forests. In summer, it's a mountain biking paradise.
Serre Chevalier is one of the largest ski areas in the southern French Alps. Along the Guisane Valley, it spans four resort villages: Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve-la-Salle, and Monêtier-les-Bains. The slopes total about 250 km, with a highest point of about 2,800 m. Many runs pass through larch forests, and visibility is good on overcast days, making it suitable for skiers of all levels. The Prorel gondola in Briançon's town goes straight up to the slopes. In summer, some lifts operate, so you can hike, ride mountain bikes downhill, and enjoy the alpine coaster.
