We mean your first time on the skis of course.

You (or your child) have decided to start skiing? This is an excellent idea!

Please mind that skiing is addictive but this is a beneficial dependence for both your body and spirit!

Everything on the Serre Chevalier ski area has been planned, so that your first ski experience is gentle and smooth.

Your first steps with confidence on our "Discovery" areas.

Located at the foot of the slopes* or up the mountain (easy access), our "Discovery" areas enable you to get used to the slope steepness little by little (on short green pistes). You will find them in each village: Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Monêtier.

Useful information: 

• If you are a first-time skier, i.e., you have never skied before, 2 rope tows are available at the foot of the slopes* in Villeneuve (free access) and at the mid station in Briançon. 
  This is a type of lift in which skiers are hauled up a very gentle slope while grasping a looped rope.
• The Ski Bus provides easy travel from one sector to another. Find out more
