Where does the name Serre Chevalier come from?
A valley as steeped in history as the Guisane did not need to ask a designer to draw a symbol for its resort. It is thanks to the local heritage that the resort has been able to unite its villages behind the banner of the crowned eagle, which appears on the coat of arms of the Borel family of the hamlet of Le Bez. As for the name of Serre Chevalier, it comes from : "Serre" which means a hillock (in patois a small mountain) and "chevalier" a ravine dug by a torrent.
Serre Chevalier Vallée Briançon is a valley with one town and three villages.
Serre Chevalier Vallée Briançon is located in the Hautes Alpes department, in the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region. The department of the Hautes Alpes is, with the Alpes de Haute-Provence, Savoie and Haute-Savoie, one of the only departments in the Alpine chain that has no part of its territory outside the mountains. It is one of the highest departments in the Alps.
