Want to ride between the listed walls and peaks of the Hautes-Alpes? Renting a snowboard in Briancon is the ideal way to enjoy the Serre Chevalier ski area without the hassle. From the old walled town, it's just a few minutes to the Prorel slopes, with views of the Écrins massif and larch forests. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced skier, you'll find itineraries to suit your pace.

The mountain climate is dry and often sunny, with cold winters that keep the snow in. From December to April, we recommend early mornings to take advantage of groomed runs and better visibility. After a snowfall and a light wind, head for the combes and larch bangs for soft powder. In spring, the snow changes at the end of the day: it's fun, but better early in the morning for a more precise glide. Keep an eye on the local weather, the wind at altitude and the avalanche risk if you leave the slopes.

For a successful outing, choose a snowboard suited to your size and your program (all-mountain for versatility, freeride for powder, freestyle for the park), check the setting of your bindings and the fit of your boots. Don't forget technical layers, warm gloves, helmet, sun cream and category 3 or 4 goggles. A softer wax is welcome in milder weather. Hydrate, leave early and enjoy the first rotations of the Prorel.
