Serre Chevalier
One of the best resorts in France. Great freeriding with powder and full-on, freestyle terrain. Shame it's pricey and packed with skiiers.
ON THE SLOPES Fantastic - best in France
OFF THE SLOPES Very, very good
MONEY WISE This is not the cheapest of resorts, but it's worth every penny.
