The newly renovated Hotel Club Alpes d'Azur, located in Chantemerle within the majestic Serre Chevalier area, is a superb destination for all enthusiastic skiers.
The newly renovated Hotel Club Alpes d'Azur is located in Chantemerle within the majestic Serre Chevalier ski area. With easy access to the ski area and a multitude of other Alpine activities available all year round, this is a superb destination for all enthusiastic skiers and mountaineers.
The recent remodelling of the hotel has very much been inspired by its mountainous surroundings. The tone of the new decor is largely pale, warm wood, but the Club Alpes d'Azur has definitely managed to retain a distinctly Alpine quality. Thus guests can be sure to find amongst the 74 newly refurbished rooms, a comfortable room that is perfect for them.
The transformation of the hotel's restaurant has been a complete triumph. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with spectacular Alpine views streaming in through the restaurant's sizeable windows, this novel restaurant makes for an enchanting dining experience. For breakfast, the substantial buffet on offer is sure to leave even the hungriest visitors deeply satisfied. The lunch and dinner menus comprise a choice list of sumptuous regional specialities, where the raclette and fondue, in particular, are not to be missed. In addition to this, the bar boasts an impressive array of professionally-made drinks, that may be enjoyed out on the terrace in nice weather.
The brand new Aquazur Centre at the hotel is home to a range of impressive modern facilities in which guests can relax and rejuvenate. Whether steaming away in the sauna, or taking on an Aquafitness class, the Aquazur Centre has something to tempt everyone.

This often overlooked resort is a haven of skiing split into four main villages with a unique combination of traditional and modern architecture. We particularly like Briançon, an ancient Roman town with UNESCO World Heritage Status.
The skiing is equally as impressive. With 250km of pistes and easily accessible off-piste, this is a must for your bucket list and can be accessed in under 2 hours from Turin airport (the resort now officially measures its pistes by area meaning there are 410 hectares of pistes but as this means very little to us, with no other resort we know using this measurement, we're sticking with the kilometres. We just thought we should let you know).
