Location & what to see

Serre Ratier is part of the Serre Chevalier ski area in the Hautes-Alpes, above Saint-Chaffrey. The alpine landscape features wooded slopes, peaks and mountain hamlets. The atmosphere changes with the seasons: in winter, visitors come for the slopes and snow activities; summer attracts hikers and those looking to explore the valley. The hotel is in a high-altitude area where ski lifts are part of the landscape and provide access to activities.

The Ratier cable car is 80 m away, as is the Serre Chevalier cable car, making it easy to access the ski area. La Salle-les-Alpes, a village in the valley, is 2.3 km away. Écrins National Park, with its high-mountain scenery and hiking trails, is 2.7 km away. Briançon, known for its Vauban fortifications and old town, can be reached from the area; its railway station is 6 km away. The hotel is mainly accessible by cable car in both winter and summer. In summer, the mountain road also provides access after the cable car closes.

For a winter stay, days can be planned around the ski lifts and the villages in the valley. Summer is well suited to mountain walks and excursions in Écrins National Park. Spring and autumn offer a quieter atmosphere for discovering the scenery and heritage of Briançon, while conditions at altitude vary by season. If you are travelling by car, bear in mind that access via the mountain road is available in summer and that nearby private parking is available by reservation.
