Places To Go, People To See!

When darkness falls, wrap up warm and browse the shops in the old village or Place de l’Aravet, both of which are a short stroll from La Sapinière. If you’re determined to keep skiing, Serre-Chevalier’s floodlit slopes will allow you to perfect your technique long after the sun’s gone down. A doctor’s surgery, chemist and dental practice are all near-by if those racing turns weren’t executed quite as well as you’d hoped!

Serre-Chevalier has many fine restaurants and bars where you’ll find regional specialities such as ‘Gigot à ficelle’, a leg of lamb suspended on a piece of string and cooked over an open log fire, or ‘Bière Alphand’, a beer brewed locally by the family of former World Downhill Ski Champion, Luc Alphand. A superb selection of wines is also available in the valley’s well stocked cellars and shops.

If you’re still not ready to retire to bed, the casino, a nightclub or quiet walk through the charming streets of medieval Briançon are a perfect way to end the day. Click Here to find out more.
