You can basically go everywhere on chairlifts - the way up from Briancon is the only exception - so no need to take off your skis and the time spent going up to going down is much better than other resorts I have been to (eg Alpe d'Huez).ĭespite the size of the resort even relatively basic intermediate skiers have a lot of options.

Pylons is the best black and petit Alpe and Echaillon are challenging reds. Possibly there could ideally be a few more black runs but a few of their reds could easily be upgraded in all honesty. The variety of pistes is great and the area itself is quite compact. I like the night train from Paris to Briancon, which is the main town and genuinely in Serre Chevalier, there is also a regular bus from Grenoble and connections from Turin by either bus or train. Getting here is perfectly easy, although not necessarily from Geneva. “Probably my favourite ski resort! I spent a good few weeks here in 2022 on a season pass, it is one of the biggest resorts in France for piste length, I didn't go off piste but I was told they have good options for that too.

How's that even possible? It was very much confirmed and booked for us for the last 6 months upon every enquiry, but now it was suddenly booked for someone else? When we were set to arrive this weekend? Absolutely pathetic. To our disappointment, the response we received the reception cabin crew was that 'unfortunately' our booking was allocated to somebody else. So to avoid any issues upon arrival this weekend, like so many others had expressed, we decided to confirm just one more time that everything was 100% confirmed. Then, all these bad reviews started popping up on Facebook and all over social media. Our booking was done under my sister's details, confirmed on more than one occasion just to be sure, and we were told everything was in order and our dates secured, right up until May. “So we've had this family holiday planned, booked and deposit paid well in advance of 6 months or so.
