Saint-Chaffrey is a village in the Hautes-Alpes, in the Serre Chevalier Valley, surrounded by Alpine terrain and hamlets where mountain life continues throughout the year. Visitors come for winter sports, walks at altitude and stays in the great outdoors. The valley links several villages and offers a variety of outings among slopes, trails and heritage sites.

The Serre Chevalier ski lifts are accessible from this area; the resort stretches along the valley and offers runs of varying difficulty. Écrins National Park, 3.2 km away, has high-mountain landscapes, hiking routes and Alpine wildlife. Briançon, 6 km away, is worth visiting for its fortified Vauban town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, historic gates and old lanes. Briançon railway station is also 6 km away. La Salle-les-Alpes, 1.4 km away, is another village in the valley to explore.

In winter, days revolve around skiing, with the hotel's ski storage room for your equipment; snowy periods also attract snowshoeing enthusiasts. From June to September, hiking trails and cycling routes take over, with landscapes that change with the altitude. You can combine a mountain walk with a visit to Briançon, then return via the valley's villages. Spring and autumn are ideal for quieter walks, while summer offers long days for exploring Écrins National Park.
