Visitor Reviews of Serre Chevalier
Martin from United Kingdom writes:
I have been to Serre (Serre Chevalier) twice & I am returning for the 3rd time this January. The skiing is well linked & although we had poor snow last year (we went late March) we still found plenty to ski for the week (Adventurous Intermediate). The runs down to the village were still open though they did get very slushy by the end of the day.
Food can be hit & miss, however, we have found some nice places to eat, Mojo's being one of them.
This is the only resort we have returned to, we generally try somewhere different every year (we have skied in Italy, Austria, Switzerland & Canada).
You get a days skiing at one of the near by resorts (we did Montgenera, linked to the Milkyway)
If it's all about the skiing as it is for us I would recommend Serre Chevalier without any reservations !
