Serre-Chevalier is, in fact, composed of 13 villages spread along the Guisane valley, the main ones are Monetier, Villeneuve and Chantemerle. Each village is different, some of them are traditional and the others modern but they all share the same skiing area which stretches along the valley. The skiing conditions are excellent for intermediates and beginners, and there is plenty of slopes for advanced. Each town is served by a good lift system and it is easy to move between the resorts.

There is a great potential here for everyone, not just for the accomplished riders. It is the place that the visitor will appreciate also as a beginner and will get the most out it. It has a large number of gentle, safe and very well-kept slopes to practise the turns and plenty of well connected, long, wide and smooth pisted trails for the more advanced beginners and intermediates. The resort has a very well-organized and developed main lift system that ensures access to the best piste terrain. That guarantees any level of freerider to reach smooth and long runs effortlessly. Serre-Chevalier has earned the respect of many good skiers. Very good ski school and decent childcare provision may particularly attract families but not only. The resort has always benefited from a very good snow record and it also has its own micro-climate.

Serre-Chevalier is also a very pretty place that benefits from an abundance of chalet style buildings rather than high rise concrete blocks. The town has undergone much development with great nightlife to go with it. Apres ski is relatively quiet and concentrated in the bars and restaurants but there are also discos and a cinema.

The restaurants serve good local food, but a car is a good option, because it allows the visitors to try each village's eateries. Serre-Chevalier is not chic but it does have a very French atmosphere which is really appreciated by everyone. For those who enjoy going to nightclubs and lively bars there is plenty to keep them amused, but also those who prefer a quiet beer shouldn't worry because there are many lovely older town quarters with bars that offer live music and really diverse apres snowboard.
