Montgenevre
Montgenèvre, located on the French-Italian border, is part of the Milky Way ski area, offering over 400 km of pistes with slopes reaching 2800 m. Known for its snow-sure conditions, it’s among the first resorts to open and the last to close. Just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Turin airport, it’s one of the most accessible resorts in France.
Ideal for families, Montgenèvre features excellent beginner and intermediate runs, a top-rated ski school, and affordable lift passes. It also offers outstanding off-piste terrain, attracting pros like Candide Thovex, alongside scenic tree runs for powder days.
As one of the world’s oldest ski resorts, established in 1907 with skiing practised since 1895, Montgenèvre is steeped in history. It will also host freestyle skiing and snowboarding events during the 2030 Winter Olympics. Retaining its authentic village charm, Montgenèvre offers a welcoming, non-commercialised atmosphere for all skiers.
