Guide to planning a ski trip
- Great value French skiing
- North-facing, snow-sure slopes
- Wide variety of terrain
On the slopes
Situated in the Southern Alps of France, the Serre Chevalier valley is a less familiar name to non-French skiers. However, its 250 km of runs on north-facing slopes, with 80% lying above 2,000 metres, guarantee great snow for a long season. With so many slopes below the treeline, you can comfortably ski below the clouds even on a snowy day. There are good beginner areas in Villeneuve and Le Monetier while much of the rest of the pisted terrain is ideal for intermediates. Advanced skiers can tackle the powder in the high bowls at L’Eychauda and beneath the Pic de L’Yret, while everyone will enjoy cruising through the long, tree-lined pistes.

The historic town of Briançon, with its UNESCO-listed Vauban fortress and old cobbled streets is definitely worth exploring one afternoon and evening. More traditional evening activities include a visit to the Water Park 1326, skating at the Olympic ice rink, and bowling in Chantemerle.
