Serre Chevalier's ski area links Briancon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve, and Le Monetier-les-Bains into one of the larger Alpine domains. The appeal is the mix: open high bowls, long cruising pistes, and wooded runs through larch forest when the weather closes in.
It suits skiers who like to cover ground. Start early, use the valley buses or lift links to avoid doubling back, and save some energy for the long return runs late in the day.
