Which lift pass is best for me? Serre Chevalier lift passes…

Understanding Serre Chevalier’s lift system

Serre Chevalier stretches all the way from the main town of Briançon at 1200 metres altitude to the alpine spa village of Le Monêtier les Bains at 1500 metres altitude.  The ski area elevates up to 2830 metres altitude (the top of the Y’ret chair lift situated on the right of the piste map), offers 250km of marked pistes and boasts an abundance of off-piste and tree-skiing (particularly towards ‘Monêtier’, its highest sector.) In other words, this is a big ski resort!

For most skiers, the best value for money lies in buying the ‘Serre Chevalier’ lift pass and not one which is limited to just one of its four sectors.

I have never skied before, which pass should I buy?

If you are new to skiing, Serre Chevalier has several free lifts. For example, Villeneuve and Monêtier have rope tows and Beginner Lift Passes (17 € per day). However, you may need a ‘bigger’ lift pass on Day 2 or Day 3 if you are skiing with a ski school. Contact Us if you would like some help deciding what to do.

Is there a Family Deal?

Serre Chevalier offers great savings for families, including children up to 21 years old. Read our separate article on lift passes for families.
