Montgenevre Ski Holidays

Montgenèvre is a high resort on the French side of the Milky Way circuit with 400km of slopes there really is something for everyone from beginners through to advanced. Compared to most of the other large ski areas in France there are hardly any lift queues in Montgenevre even during the half term dates! The highest lift is at 2800m and with many of the slopes above 2000m so it is snow sure.

Beginner Skiing Montgenèvre ****

There are plenty of beginner slopes on the Montgenèvre side of the Milky Way and nursery slopes in the village, that are nice and wide and covered in sunshine, are perfect for children and to learn on.

Intermediate Skiing Montgenèvre ****

The area is great for intermediates with endless trails above the treeline, with plenty of routes diving down through the trees. Popular choices include the wide runs down from Les Anges and Le Chavlet a long red that goes across the valley. The Milky Way has such a large variety of slopes Montgenevre really is a resort for skiers and boarders that like to explore rather than doing the same slopes over and over again.

Advanced Skiing Montgenèvre ****

Montgenèvre has 9 black runs in its area, however, there are many more in the rest of the Milky Way, including the Col de l’Alpet is a popular black that is close to Claviere.

Off Piste Skiing Montgenèvre ***

There is some challenging off-piste routes here, however, a guide is often recommended. Also, heli-skiing is available close by where there are 2 drop-offs on Italian peaks that are over 3000m.

Freestyle Skiing & Snowboarding Montgenèvre ***

Holidays here are a great choice for borders, as there is a snow park that is fenced off from the rest of the slopes to enable a premium area to show off tricks.
