Serre Chevalier

When choosing your moment, coming when school’s out unless you have to is always a much better idea.

So here are the school holiday dates for the French schools:

• Christmas: Dec 18 – Jan 4

• Winter: Feb 5 – Feb 22

• Spring: Apr 3 – Apr 19.

For the UK:

• Christmas: Dec 19 – Jan 4

• Half term: Feb 13 – Feb 20

• Easter: Apr 3- Apr 17.

Weekenders, especially from Marseille and Grenoble, fill the car-parks, but Saturday morning is a still a joy as the pistes are empty as it’s changeover day and the new visitors are still getting their kit and passes sorted out.

Serre Che is fortunately blessed with a number of pistes where the early learners won’t congregate, but it also has some nice blues half way up the mountain, so by choosing your time and place wisely you’ll be able to get the most out of your day.
