Those in the know rate Serre Chevalier as an awesome place to ski. It is a dynamic resort made up of several villages set in the wooded Guisane valley in the southern French Alps. Each village is different - some are traditional, some modern - but all share the same ski area, a massive 250km of varied piste, which is the fourth-largest in France. Skitopia is based in Villeneuve (otherwise known as Serre Chevalier 1400) and Monetier-Les-Bains (Serre Chevalier 1500). Transfer times from Chambery are approx 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Villeneuve, where old meets new, provides all the facilities and comforts we have come to expect of a modern resort, but teams it with the unique charm of 12th-century France. Monetier, a pretty spa village, is the highest resort in the area and remains resolutely unspoilt.
To add even more value to your lift pass, there's a ski bus that runs a very efficient service all around the valley, allowing you to begin and end your day's skiing wherever you like. |
