Hi there,

Me and a group of friends are heading off to Villeneuve in Serre
Chavalier for the week after xmas this year and was wondering what it
was like out there. I've had a look at previous posts in here and have
seen various comments that Villeneuve is quite quiet compared to some
of the other villages/towns nearby.

That's right, villeneuve is a quiet village.
My preference : If you want to sea a beautiful
little village: Go to Saint Veran . (2040m high), check :
www.saintveran.com . Especially the village of Mollines and "le coin"
offers great slpoes and off pist.


It would be great to have some feedback on what this resort/town is
like. We'll be travelling by train to get to the resort is there
anything we should look out for? and what's the best way of getting
from the trainstation to Villeneuve? are there coaches or busses
there? or taxis? There's 7 of us going there.

For bus transfer, you must see with the tourism office at:




Also can anyone recomend any good places to eat and drink or any
places that we should visit? Abosolutly anything on this place would
be great. We've had a look at a few of the main websites already.
We're going to be learning to snowboard and there's a couple of
beginner-- intermediate skiers in the party as well. Any
reccomendations?

Serre Chevalier is a great resort for beginners and intermediate skiers.
You're also sure to find a sunny weather.
10 Yeard ago sunny weather was garantee with the skipass.
There are 300 sunny days per year in this region.
