La Salle-les-Alpes is the authentic, central heart of Serre Chevalier — an old Briançonnais village built around a medieval church, and the principal Villeneuve gateway into one of the southern Alps' great domains. It pairs genuine village character with direct access to 250 kilometres of sunny, tree-lined skiing.
For UK buyers, it offers a real village in the sunny Hautes-Alpes, with high-altitude, snow-sure skiing and a southern-Alps climate that the northern resorts cannot match.
A Short History
La Salle-les-Alpes is an old Briançonnais village, not a purpose-built station — its centre is organised around the 15th-century church of Saint-Marcellin, with its tall pointed bell tower and wood-shingle roofs, and the painted sundials that are a signature of the Hautes-Alpes. The commune gathers five hamlets, including Villeneuve, which gives its name to the resort's central ski sector. The skiing developed around these working villages rather than replacing them.
The Resort
La Salle-les-Alpes sits at 1,400 metres in the Guisane valley, branded Serre Chevalier 1400 / Villeneuve — the central of the four linked sectors of Serre Chevalier, alongside Briançon, Chantemerle and Le Monêtier-les-Bains. Its central position makes it a principal gateway to the whole domain. The valley is a gateway to the Écrins National Park, and the thermal spa at Le Monêtier lies a short way up-valley.
Where to Buy — The Areas of La Salle-les-Alpes
The commune's hamlets give a range of settings around the central ski access.
Villeneuve
The main ski-gateway hamlet, closest to the lifts — the most convenient base, with apartments and the resort's new-build programmes.
La Salle village and Le Bez
The older village core and neighbouring hamlets, valued for character, the medieval church and a quieter setting, with traditional houses and chalets.
Buyers comparing the domain should also look at Briançon and the wider Serre Chevalier market.
The Skiing
As the central Villeneuve sector, La Salle-les-Alpes opens the full Serre Chevalier domain — around 250 kilometres of pistes across four linked sectors, rising to the Pic d'Yret at about 2,830 metres. Roughly 80% of the domain lies above 2,000 metres, and the lower slopes are notably wooded — a strong combination of snow reliability and tree-lined, bad-weather skiing, under the famously sunny Hautes-Alpes sky.
The Property Market
La Salle-les-Alpes offers central-sector access at southern-Alps prices. Current new-build market data (Q2 2026) runs from around €275,000 for a one-bedroom to just over €1 million for a five-bedroom, averaging roughly €8,500 per square metre across two programmes near the lifts. The full breakdown is in the table below.
Resale sits below new-build, broadly around €4,500 per square metre on current benchmarks. UK buyers can model monthly costs in sterling with our French mortgage calculator.
Rental demand is dual-season, built on the central domain access and the Hautes-Alpes sunshine in winter, and the Écrins National Park hiking, cycling and via ferrata in summer.
Lifestyle & Activities Beyond Skiing
The Écrins setting gives the Guisane valley a strong summer.
Summer
- Écrins National Park — the GR54 and other long-distance trails cross the valley.
- Cycling — the legendary cols of the southern Alps from the valley.
- Le Monêtier thermal spa — natural hot springs a short way up-valley.
Family appeal
Central domain access, an authentic village and the sunny Hautes-Alpes climate make La Salle-les-Alpes a strong family base across both seasons.

Why Buy in La Salle-les-Alpes
