Serre Chevalier Sweatshirts & Hoodies

Serre Chevalier, where French locals carve down the legendary Luc Alphand piste like they’re auditioning for a ski movie, Brits try to remember if they’re in Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve, or Monêtier, and Italians pop over the Col du Lautaret wondering why the espresso is slightly less intense on this side of the border.

You’ll find snowboarders trying not to get stuck on the famously flat traverse to Cucumelle, while everyone else is busy debating which bar has the best vin chaud (spoiler alert: La Grotte du Yeti is a strong contender).

We love the endless sunny slopes, soaking your aching calves at the Les Grands Bains in Monêtier, and bragging about tackling a black run even if you actually snuck off to a blue halfway down.

We're not so keen on trying to catch the Ratier gondola at peak time, the baffling “I swear it looked like a red on the map!” mistakes, and losing track of which village your chalet was in after one too many après-ski toasts. But hey, in Serre Chevalier, getting lost just means more ski time—à la prochaine!
