The countdown is on! 🎉 In just a few weeks, the slopes of Serre Chevalier, one of the largest ski areas in the Southern Alps, will officially open their doors.
On December 6, 2025, it will finally be time to strap on the skis, breathe in the invigorating mountain air and hurtle down the snow-covered slopes.
Whether you're a pro at carving turns or a beginner looking for a thrill, Serre Chevalier has everything to thrill you. So, are you ready for a feast for the eyes (and legs)?
🗓️ A long-awaited opening
This year, Serre Chevalier invites you to join us on December 6 for the big chill! After months of waiting, the lifts will be back in operation, the chalets will be opening their sunny terraces, and the landscapes will be decked out in their white mantle. A magical moment for all snow lovers.
💡 Little tip: If you want to avoid the crowds, give preference to the first opening days or weeks in January, before the school vacations.
🌨️ Snow, star of the season
In Serre Chevalier, snow is king! Thanks to its generous natural snow cover and high-performance snow cannons, the resort guarantees optimal conditions right from the start. With 250 km of runs and a vertical drop of 1,200 metres, there's something for every level:
- Beginners: Head for dedicated areas like Le Chazelet or Le Prorel for gentle learning.
- Advanced: Take to the black runs of La Casse du Boeuf or Le Grand Alpe for a thrilling ride.
Freeriders: Explore off-piste areas, but always with a guide - for your own safety, of course!
🌍 Bonus: The resort is eco-responsible! Serre Chevalier is committed to a sustainable mountain, with actions to preserve the environment.
