Serre Chevalier

AllyG when's that?
The rest of Wales want to take advantage of the quicker dial up speed

PS Can you all stop wibbling.
This thread is about Serre Chevalier

Indeed, Stewart, indeed.
Ally, are you going to Serre Chevalier?
NO
In which case, can you please stop spamming Stewarts thread.

Here is this mornings scene from the mountains:

I went to Serre Chevalier last year (January), and thought it was great!

I stayed at Chantemerle in a s/c apartment and hired a ski locker next to the lift. We had SO much snow that on a couple of days not much skiing got done, as the blizzard made it impossible to move, and lots of the chair lifts shut down.

Fantastic black run down to Chantemerle though (Luc Alphand). It's a 6km Olympic run with 1000m drop over the run! Superb, although for those not so brave or with tired legs, there's a gentle green run through the forest, with lovely scenery!

Thanks GG, at last someone who has been and is interested in talking about the place.....
I did that black, its a good one for sure.
We are stopping in Villeneuve.

Any particular favourite places to eat up the mountain?

Not sure about up the mountain (although I will try and remember the bar which had the enormous roaring log burning stove), but I went to a spectacular restaurant very near Chantemerle, called Le Loup Blanc. As far as food goes, this was superb! I've eaten in many French restaurants, and this one sticks out in my memory.

Don't think there's an English translation, but try the Tartiflette from the speciality menu!

According to the text, it's at the foot of the Luc Alphand piste. (I can translate if you like, my french is good!)

GG, that restaurant looks very nice.
Will have to try and have a meal in there during our stay.

Just as I was about to start a new tread on serre che I saw this...Me and 10 other oldies 45-63 are going on 20th Feb. All are "intermediates" ...whatever that is... so it would be great if you could tell us the good bits to do both in terms of skiing and eating. We are 4 girlies and 7 blokes total age well in excess of 500 years.

. look out Serre Che!!! (well until ten at night at least)
