Another sign of how far Serre Chevalier has come is its vast Club Med hotel, which opened in December 2024. It’s a reboot of an earlier property owned by the brand but, even so, the project cost £40 million. And it’s not the only hotel in the area that serves families. Of the four accommodation hubs along the valley, the middle two — Chantemerle and Villeneuve — are the stars of the scene, largely because their lifts whisk beginners up to mid-mountain areas of nursery slopes, where they can ski soft, grippy snow long into spring.
