Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A snowHead

Location: snowHeadLand
Resort: Serre Chevalier
Country: France
Domain: Serre Chevalier
Author: Helen Beaumont
Date: Jan 24th-28th 2005
Our holiday: A trip to check out progress on our apartment, see friends and SnowHeads, and of course ski,
Website : www.serre-chevalier.com
Basics : Hautes-Alpes, we flew to NIce, but Turin is easiest .
Lift system : Mixture of cable-cars, chairlifts, and some nasty drags, but these are gradually being replaced
The terrain : Great intermediate territory, and I believe, some good off-piste,.
The snow : Had 30cm of new snow the day we arrived, so 1st days skiing was excellent, but extremely cold . The wind blew a lot of the new snow away, and some of the exposed runs were rocky.
Off-piste : Haven't tried it.
The resort : Stayed in Monetier-les-Bains, the highest village in the reosrt. A typical working village, not a typical ski resort. Has a thermal spring, so there are hot baths to enjoy after skiing.
Food :We were half-board in the hotel,but non-residents can eat there, but recommend Peyra Juana, Echaillon, Cafe Soleil, and Le Troll when skiing.
Accommodation : Stayed in the hotel Alliey, excellent food and extensive wine list, also has a pool, and large hot tub. Rooms newly refurbished in traditional style. About a 5min walk from the lifts but the excellent ski-bus stops regularly outside the hotel.
Costs: Small Beer 2.5 euros, Kir 3 euros, Plat du jour 10-15 euros.
Conclusion: A great holiday with some good if cold skiing. Journey from Nice a little long but so would the trip to Stansted.
