Serre Chevalier is at the foot of the Ecrins National Park with heights of over 4000 m (12 000' ): the Ecrins ridge and renowned peaks such as La Meije, le Pelvoux or the Monêtier dome. Sixteen villages and hamlets united under the Eagle banner, the emblem of a Serre Chevalier family. Water, Air and Earth are waiting for you under one of the clearest skies in France; people come here to convalesce and breathe in the freshest of air. The air of the Hautes Alpes is heated by nearly 300 days of sunshine a year. Its rivers, lakes and streams offer crystal clear waters, not forgetting the mountains, cliffs and peaks open to walkers, climbers and mountain bikers alike.
