What to do in the off-season in Serre Chevalier & Briançon?
Between the end of the winter season and the opening of summer, Serre Chevalier & Briançon experiences a special period: the off-season.
The crowds thin out, the snow gradually melts on the peaks and the valley returns to its natural rhythm.
It's the ideal time to discover the destination in a different way - by strolling through the streets of Briançon, enjoying the Grands Bains du Monêtier or preparing for the next season from quiet accommodation at the foot of the Écrins.
This page lists the shops, restaurants and activities open during theoff-season among the partners listed by the Serre Chevalier & Briançon Tourist Office.
The list is updated as information becomes available - please contact the establishments directly to confirm their opening times.
Opening information valid from May 21 to June 30, 2026
Gourmet breaks and places to socialize
The off-season is also an opportunity to enjoy the mountains in peace and quiet. Some restaurants, pubs and cafés remain open to welcome visiting gourmets or loyal regulars.
In a more relaxed atmosphere than in high season, it's the perfect time to treat yourself to a terrace lunch, an artisanal patisserie, or share an aperitif with friends.
