What visitors say about the resort
Serre Chevalier is praised for its sunshine and forests: the Southern Alps offer noticeably more clear days, while the pistes run through larch forests - unusual for the French high mountains. Visitors also note the prices: lift passes and accommodation are cheaper than in the Tarentaise, despite around 150 km of pistes.
Complaints focus on snow conditions and the resort's spread-out layout. Its southern location means the lower slopes thaw in warm winters, while the resort stretches along the valley across several villages, making travel between them inconvenient without a car. Some older lifts also receive criticism.
