Non-ski Activities
Serre Chevalier lies within the Écrins National Park and the hiking around Monêtier is superb, with walks through the forests between the villages and links onto part of the GR54 Alpine tour route.
Why not take the afternoon off and soothe your muscles in the thermal spa baths near the base of the slopes and enjoy swimming in the outdoor pool whilst admiring the high peaks surrounding you.
For a dose of culture, head to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Briançon - Home to part of Vauban's fortress network, it's impossible to miss the magnificent citadels rising above the small city as you pass through it on the way to our chalet-hotel.
But it's not just the fortresses you get to see in the highest city in France - There are also many fantastic restaurants and shops to see as well, and it's only a short trip down the valley from Monêtier.
For a great thrill try the giant zip-line from the top of the cable car in Chantemerle, which is 1.1km long and drops 300m of vertical in just over a minute, travelling at a speed of up to 70mph!
