Saint-Chaffrey

The Guisane River defines the setting of Saint-Chaffrey — its narrow Alpine valley gathers the commune’s hamlets and the slopes of Serre Chevalier between Briançon and the Col du Lautaret. Best known for Chantemerle, Saint-Chaffrey forms part of the Serre Chevalier ski area, where lifts link a long succession of pistes above the valley floor. The Écrins massif rises to the south, while larch woods and older stone-built quarters retain the character of the historic Dauphiné region. The Church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur in Chantemerle recalls the mountain community that existed here long before winter sport shaped local life.
