Serre Chevalier (or Serre Che as it’s popularly referred to) is one of France’s oldest and biggest ski areas, although unless you’ve been here you may be forgiven for not knowing this particular piece of trivia. The first lift, built in 1941, was a cable car that went up to a hitherto largely unimportant peak called Serre Chevalier. And the rest, as they say, is history.

A little bit of Canada comes to the French Alps. Exciting tree skiing best done on big powder days.

Almost a good run for first time off pisters but a tricky exit in particular makes it more of a challenge.

A steep, narrow couloir that looks impressive from the lift and even more so from the top as you drop in.

Big mountain ambiance north facing couloir followed by top quality tree skiing.

Low altitude tree skiing. Good in mid winter when the snow is thick all the way to the valley floor.

Tree skiing at its best – well spaced larch forest spread over a huge area.

A wide, gently undulating off piste slope suitable for less advanced off piste riders.
Moderate Freeride Skiing
Classic steep couloir, enclosed on both sides by huge cliffs.

Steep and often deep at the start then cruisy open glades lower down. The route finding is very tricky though so going with an instructor or guide who knows the area well is preferable.

A tree lined ridge, gentle at first then with a long steep pitch. Perfect for those bad weather days.
