Skiing

Beginners 

There are excellent gentle beginners' runs next to Villeneuve village and also at Monetier. Try the Grand Alpe at the top of the gondola above Chantemerle.

Intermediates 

Ski through the Parc National des Ecrins in some of the most glorious scenery in the French Alps, including the long red runs from the Prorel, Aiguillet and Eduits. At Bachas above Monetier, you'll find a wide choice of runs which zig-zag through the trees and Le Petit Alpe, Bois des Coqs and Grande Gargouille above Monetier are firm favourites for getting the adrenalin going. To end a day, Cucumelle is a fantastic long run back to Villeneuve from Bachas.

Advanced 

Bump fiends will enjoy moguls the size of milk-floats on the twisting runs to Le Bez and speed freaks will love the superb 'Olympic Luc Alphand' black run. Also recommended is the locally named 'Porridge Run', a gun-barrelled kamikaze route through gullies, ravines and trees; while for powderhounds, there's the steep and deep ecstasy of high Grande Alpe.

Snowboarding 

Serre Chevalier is regarded as one of the top snowboarding destinations in France due to its amazing natural terrain and off-piste opportunities. For freeriding there is too much to mention but check out the Balme chair. For jumping the mountain is littered with natural kickers and drops.
