Serre Chevalier is home to some of the best tree-skiing in the French Alps – an abundance of widely-spaced larch trees has a lot to do with this. Amazingly, the resort remains relatively undiscovered, so you can expect quiet pistes even in peak weeks. Serre Chevalier offers excellent value for money and southern alpine sunshine.
Gavin and Mel have run our Serre Chevalier ski school for the past 25 years. Gavin offers private coaching and ski lessons for all levels and ages. If you’d like to learn a new skill in a single focused session, like how to ski off-piste, avalanche safety, couloirs, carving, or bumps or are feeling nervous, why not book ski lessons with us in Serre Chevalier Valley?
