Mountain restaurants

Remember:

> In your backpack: sunglasses, water, sunscreen, warm and/or waterproof clothing, walking poles, ...

> Stroller access is only possible at the Prorel gondola (2 stations) in Briançon, the Ratier gondola and the Serre Chevalier cable car in Chantemerle: Bring a baby bottle so your baby can drink (swallowing relieves the pressure in their ears) and keep checking that everything is OK on the way up ( if you have any concnerns, ask a doctor’s advice beforehand).

> Our four-legged friends are also welcome on the mountain: they must be kept on a leash.

Please note: if you plan on using a chairlift, only small animals that can be carried in a suitable bag are allowed.
