Briancon Ski Resort & Travel Guide

Briancon is a commune in the Upper Alps of South-East France and is part of the Serre Chevalier Ski region.

With beautiful landscapes, amazing historical sights, great weather conditions and some of the best sports opportunities in the region, Briancon has something to offer for every kind of holiday maker.

You’ll find a radiant, friendly atmosphere that’s guaranteed to keep a smile on your face all year round. With a similar climate to places such as Nice and Toulon and over 300 sunny days throughout the year, the dry air can even help treat respiratory problems. Briancon is an ideal place to practice sports, relax in the fresh atmosphere, and enjoy the sunshine.

Thanks to the nearby ski area of Serre Chevalier and Montgenevre, you can enjoy a range of winter sports during the chillier months.

These include downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, exploring the mountains with snowshoes and, for the more daring at heart, the possibility of climbing frozen waterfalls!

It’s not just thrill-seekers who are catered for however, as special conditions are always provided for families with children.

During the summer, opportunities are available for mountain bike tours, mountaineering, climbing, rafting and paragliding. Whatever time of year you look to visit, there will always be a wealth of different activities to choose from!

Ski Resort Location

Sitting comfortably at an altitude of 1326 meters above sea level, Briancon is home to over 12’000 residents and is built on along the confluence of the rivers Durance and Guissan.  

Unsurprisingly, Briancon attracts many tourists every year, thanks to its picturesque scenery and unique, ancient architecture. While it’s mostly known for its ski attractions, travellers can also visit various, important sites of local culture.

For example, the Church Cordelier, built in the XV century, has remained almost unchanged in its interior for over five hundred years. Tourists can see first-hand the preservation of regional icons and frescoes in a truly breath-taking setting.

You’ll find reasonable prices and plenty of good sleigh slopes throughout the resort.

Family Friendly/Kids

Located in the famous Chamonix Valley, Briancon is surrounded by forests and impressive mountain sides. It’s no wonder that tourists flock to this resort for the peaceful, homely aesthetic that surrounds the ski slopes.
