Walks & hikes

Dare to gain altitude

Thanks to the ski lifts scattered across the valley, you can easily access a vast playground waiting to be explored. Marked trails crisscross the entire Serre Chevalier area—perfect for discovering breathtaking landscapes.

In the heart of a postcard-worthy setting, all your senses come alive.
Look up: the mountain reveals itself in all its splendor, dotted with blooming rhododendrons. Wander along paths lined with larches, the only conifers in Europe that lose their needles in winter and turn golden in autumn. Take a deep breath—the gentle scent of evergreens fills the air. Keep your eyes peeled: you might spot some iconic mountain wildlife—marmots, deer, or black grouse.

Pedestrian Pass

Lasciatevi sedurre dalla bellezza del paesaggio e dalla tranquillità dei sentieri.

With the Tronçon 2 Pedestrian Pass, you have easy access to all the open lifts and can explore the most beautiful panoramas in the area.

You can take the lifts as many times as you like: go up in the morning, come down again, come back in the afternoon... or even change sites during the day - for example start in Briançon and finish in Monêtier.

And to make the moment last, sit down at one of the picnic areas at Croix de la Nore (Briançon) or Grand Alpe (Chantemerle): equipped with planchas, they invite you to take a gourmet break overlooking the mountain.

The Serre Chevalier cable car

THE resort's iconic ski lift

If there's one ski lift that's emblematic of the resort, it's the Serre Chevalier cable car! Indissociable from the history of skiing in Serre Chevalier, it has been an integral part of the valley's landscape for over 80 years. And, much to the delight of our holiday-makers, it's accessible to all, winter and summer alike.

Focus on the little history of the cable car, interwoven with the big story from its earliest days

Although the project was first conceived in 1935, it wasn't until 1941 that the cable car was inaugurated, right in the middle of the Second World War. At the time, it was the longest in Europe, and consisted of two sections.

  • In 2013, the 1st section was replaced by the Ratier gondola, but the structure of the historic station was retained.

  • The 2nd section of the cable car is still in service. Although the departure station at Serre Ratier had to be rebuilt following a fire in 1983, the arrival station at the summit still exists.

  • It will be renovated in 2021, the year of its 80th anniversary: new roof, new interior and exterior cladding, repair of defective structural elements and other essential work.

Once at the top of the cable car, you can easily reach the orientation table just a few steps away, at an altitude of 2,491 m. Prepare to be impressed by the exceptional panorama over the Serre Chevalier area, the Guisane valley, the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Pelvoux and all the peaks of the Ecrins National Park.
