Briancon. Or is it Serre Che 1200?

And I think the English speaking Eurekaski school has a base there(eurekaski.com). There's also a choice of ski hire shops - most offer discounts for pre-booking.

Gavin Crosby ran Eurekaski but he now heads New Generation British run ski school in Serre Chevalier http://www.skinewgen.com/Serre_Chevalier
It's still worth visiting http://www.eurekaski.combecause Mel Crosby runs a service organising all aspects of your ski holiday in Serre Chevalier including accommodation, ski or snowboard coaching, childcare, transfers etc. A very useful source of info.

All this talk of serre che has forced me into a tight corner, where the outcome can only be one thing:




I'm going back.

Bugger.

I am going back.

In march.

Ski connections: http://www.ski-school-connections.co.uk/
does a great package.
Ski bus free from Briancon station all along the valley with valid ski pass.
Local Brits run: http://www.serrechevalier.org/
full of possibly useful information - or not.
Briancon is not Serre Che whatever they tell you, at least not to the locals.

Many thanks to all who helped with my rather vague enquiry re Briancon 1200 / Serre Chevalier last year. All went very well. Our beginner spent one day on the nursery slopes near the restaurant at the half way staion. Basic pass for one day.
He then progressed to the various green/blue runs around the resort & skied the signature red run (Cucumelle?was it?)on his 5th day! At a decent speed too!
All four of us enjoyed the great snow & many varied runs around the resort.
The Parc Hotel in Briancon was fine. Not too bad a walk to the buses / Gondola.
Also near to several good value bars / eateries.
Grenoble Airport was a challenge as usual!
Alpine Transfers were excellent.
The journey across to Serre Che was an eyeopener but good fun! Glad I was not driving!
Once again all of the info you all provided was very useful.
kind regards,
Reg Burgess

Why not give New Generation a call? Local British run ski school. http://www.skinewgen.com/resorts/serre-chevalier/
