The Skiers' Guide to Montgenèvre

Came with family and is a very family friendly place. Snow was very good when I got here. Best skiing into Italy as soon as you can where there are better slopes and better bars etc.

Short transfer time from Turin. Good high skiing. Good restaurants in the mountains and they are reasonably priced.

Great resort if you like the quieter ski scene (I.e no apres, clubbing etc). Perfect for a week with friends or family. Stunning scenery with the option to ski and out of Italy. Friendly locals. Well groomed pistes. Lots of cruisey blues but rarely challenging blacks unless you take the Serre Thibaud lift where the terrain tends to be a little more challenging.

Quiet runs in mid March, some groomed pistes quite sparse of snow but good lifts and piste variety. Accomodation was clean and close to the slopes, small town with nice restaurants.

Very friendly welcoming area that’s easy to get around for all level skiers. Nice wide runs for intermediates

This is the third year in a row we’ve been. We have come in the first week of the season before Christmas every year and it’s been brilliant every time for us. If you’re looking for nightlife and parties then you’ll be disappointed but for somewhere quiet, and friendly for skiers of all levels it’s wonderful.

Montgenevere is a quieter resort but has loads of great piste. You have the option of skiing over to Italy and your lift pass can give you access to another 5 great resorts.
If you’re after lively apres ski then this won’t be your cup of tea, but if you’re after a quieter and very family friendly resort, I highly recommend.
It’s a high resort and so I’ve always experienced great levels of snow with so much great piste to explore!

Lots of Nice long easy green runs, short lift queues, lots of cute on piste cafes. As a relatively new skier it was easy to find lots of variety on blues green and red to ski

Brilliant to stay in motorhome in the Aire. With electric, water, waste disposal and very good price.
Close to slopes and 10 min walk to town.

Nice good value resort that is very well suited for beginners with lots of accessable slopes all the way up the mountain. Maybe a bit small for more advanced skiiers who might get bored quite quickly, but with connections to other parts of the milkyway there are still options further away. Town is nice, but can be a bit of a walk to the slopes depending on where you stay.

Great family friendly resort as not too large or too busy. Lots of greens and easy blues and very quiet during off peak times

Our family experience over New Year was fantastic. The ski school had lots of good support for my daughter and the slopes were very manageable for her first experience. Some of the more challenging slopes were thrilling for me and my partner and there was plenty of places to eat and drink at lunchtime and dinner. The small hotel that we stopped at, hotel Valerie was perfectly located

A truly little pearl in the french alps! Family friendly and the cutest little town. This is for the skier that likes space on the slopes, perfect for a romantic trip. Best french cousine, visit to Briancon and the big neighbour skiarea there. Picnic adventures in the snow. Off piste recommendable with local guides

A nice little resort for people who want to ski more than they apres! Some lifts were dated and slow, but some expresses. A good amount of groomed piste, relatively quiet as its not a big, popular resort.

Great family friendly resort with a good selection of well pisted slopes. Pretty uncrowded and ski-in ski-out accommodation. With both north and south facing slopes there are many options to explore and the ability to explore the neighbouring resort of Claviere is a bonus.

Quite a quiet resort, good for families. The luge is well worth a visit. Slopes are fairly quiet, we went in march.Mountain bars are reasonably priced and very friendly.

Great resort for intermediate skiers and families, snow conditions unreal - feet of fresh powder every day we were there january 2025. Every meal was tasty, the best restaurants were on the 'fancy' side of things, decent service white table clothes, though you can get pizza takeaway as well.Slopes quiet other than at the weekend when the locals descend in droves. Lifts serviceable though a bit slow, mixed gondolas and chairs on the same lines. Plenty of free skiing terrain easily accessible, and good access to tree runs off sides of many of the pastes.ESF ski school professional and good as always.Only downside to this resort for our group was quite limited apres scene with only 1 proper nightclub and 1 pub.

Amazing resort - incredibly friendly and ideal family location. Many options for runs and access to Italy too

We come here year in, year out. It's a hidden gem! Great snow, great people, and a well kept secret so it's never too busy

Great sized ski area if you choose the Montgenèvre & Monts de La lune ski pass with easy access across Italian border. Good for intermediate skiers with lots of beamy blue and red runs. Some nice mountain restaurants up high - La Terrace on the south side is excellent. Town a bit tired and Apres options very limited to one/two bars. A couple of nice restaurants but a lot of it was shut which in late Jan felt a bit sad! All in all a nice resort but the the town/accommodation needs investment to build some life back into it.
