As one of the oldest ski holiday resorts in France, Montgenèvre retains the personal feel of a small village whilst allowing access for intermediates to the mighty “Milky Way” ski area just over the border in Italy. The town became fashionable for ski holidays in the 1930s and has remained traditional and pretty, even as the skiing has expanded. The main ski area straddles France & Italy and is easily accessible from within the heart of the village, offering stunning scenery. The immediate runs are particularly suited to beginners and intermediates whilst the more advanced skier can enjoy the wider area and fantastic off piste opportunities.

Famously snow-sure, Montgenèvre has one of the best records in the Southern Alps, receiving regular dumps of snow from storms forced up the valley from the west. Recently a bypass was built diverting the busy main road from the centre of the village, meaning heavy through traffic is a thing of the past. There has never been a better time to visit this high, snow-sure resort.
