Because of the layout of Serre Chevalier in 13 villages, and the fact that it is relatively undiscovered by the international skiing community, the variety of entertainment away from the slopes is not that huge. Having said that, it could be argued that this is part of its charm. Besides, with such an extent of tree-lined runs, skiing during bad weather is much more pleasant.
Five to try
- Learning to ice-drive
- Taking a snowcat tour
- Visiting the slightly scary ice caves
- Relaxing at the hot springs in the evening after a hard day on the slopes
- Having a go at snow shoeing
Shopping
- For arguably some of the best bread in town, and some superb picnic fodder, try Petit Marche
- If you're wanting to make your own Michelin-star food, Briancon is probably the better place to shop
- Indulge in a relaxing massage courtesy of Meije Massage
