good selection of mini supermarkets, restaurants,
bars, nightlife and a fitness centre.
The resort holds the official ‘Les P’tits
Montagnards’ label for the quality of its
children’s facilities and its ‘Les
Poussins’ day nursery caters for little ones

Villeneuve
is a purpose built ski village
at 1400m offering great central access to the ski
area of Serre Chevalier. It also has the traditional
cobbled streets giving it a real French resort feel.
Well catered for with shops, bars and
restaurants.
Driving on ice at the Circuit de glace and skating
on ice are just two well-loved winter pursuits! You
can also go horse riding, swimming at Piscine
couverte des Iscles, use the fitness suite and
thalasso-therapy at Espace Thalasse Forme, snow
