A brief overview
As one of the oldest resorts in France, Montgenevre retains the
personal feel of a small village whilst allowing easy access to the mighty
'Milky Way' ski area just over the border in Italy. The town became fashionable
in the 1930s and has remained traditional and pretty, even as the skiing has
expanded. The main ski area 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. Famously snow-sure, Montgenevre 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.
