In Serre Chevalier, every moment has its own thrills and spills: the crazy Grand Prix race, the Serre Che Ski XXL extended glide, the magic of Night Skiing, the adrenalin of the Brut de Neige and avalanche prevention workshops. Unique events to enjoy the mountains in a different way.
Somewhere between a derby, a rally, an enduro, an orienteering race, and an obstacle course like 'mud-day'... the Grand Prix de Serre Chevalier is an explosive cocktail that makes it an extraordinary event.
📌The 2026 edition will take place from Friday 20 March to Sunday 22 March.
