Our view on skiing in Serre Chevalier
Serre Chevalier ski holidays are not on the radar yet largely because many skiers tend to head for the large ski carousels year after year such as the Portes du Soleil or Grand Massif.
However, for those in the know, the skiing in Serre Chevalier is fantastic with great pistes and zero queues plus the authentic villages in the valley offer a unique gastronomic experience. The other plus factor is that everything from the lift passes to the apres-ski and accommodation costs a fraction of the price of the mass tourism resorts.
