More about Serre ChevalierThe Serre Chevalier valley is a long south-facing valley between the Col du Galibier and Briancon with several villages and hamlets dotted along the way, ranging from the ultra modern to the most traditional. A valley as full of history as Serre Chevalier doesn’t have to ask a designer to come up with a logo for its resort. Thanks to its local heritage, the villages of Serre Chevalier came together under the banner of the ’Crowned Eagle’ that appears on the coat of arms of the French Borel du Bez family. The name Serre Chevalier comes from the ancient ’Oc’ dialect of southern France in which ’serre’ meant a hill or mound and ’cambeou’ was a flock. Skiing was very much in vogue in the period after the First World War and Briancon was already attracting the world of show business. Opened in 1941, the Chantemerle téléphérique or cable car was Serre Chevalier’s first ski lift and was at that time the longest ski lift in Europe. By the 1950s the resort was really starting to take off. The name Serre Chevalier was finally adopted in 1968 and, with the inclusion of Mônetier les Bains, in 1984 and Briancon in 1990 the resort of Serre Chevalier as we know it today was born. With its protected environment and its clean and pure mountain air, far from the traffic and the pollution of big cities, it has become a haven of health and well-being for its visitors. |
