Our View

Good location - just 5 minutes walk from the nursery slopes and lifts in this increasingly popular resort! A great choice for historical, cultural and classical stay in Serre Chevalier.

Overview

Originally built as a traditional farmhouse in 1722, Langley Hotel La Vieille Ferme is one of the most characterful stays in Serre Chevalier. Full of rustic charm, the hotel has retained much of its original architecture, giving each room its own unique style and atmosphere.

Inside, Provençal and Italian influences combine to create a warm, homely feel, with limewashed walls, exposed timber beams and simple, comfortable furnishings throughout. The hotel’s vaulted restaurant adds to the authentic alpine experience, with open-flame rotisserie cooking served several times a week in a cosy, traditional setting.

Set on a small hill above Villeneuve, the hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the Aravet Télécabine, making it easy to access the slopes each day.
