The villages are all well-served by an excellent lift system and the largest, Briançon, is both the highest city in the European Union (and only Davos is higher in Europe) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are loads of après-ski activities in the local area, including swimming, ice-skating, pizzerias, discos, bum-boarding and ice hockey matches. Overall, Serre Chevalier is a fantastic choice for a school ski trip to France.
