The most repeated themes are minimal lift queues, wide gentle pistes suitable for learning, and good snow reliability due to altitude. Nearly all reviews mention the ability to ski into Italy and access the wider Via Lattea area.

The resort is very high so snow is guaranteed and the locals are so friendly. You won’t find apres ski like Val D’Isere here, but that isn’t the reason to visit Montgenevre. There are a few options for ski schools for both children and adults. If you’re willing to push the boat out and get private tuition, you won’t regret it. They will take you all over the mountains, including off-piste if they think you’re able.
The pistes are fantastic and very well looked after. There are so many options to fill your day with skiing, it will never get boring!
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!
Close to slopes and 10 min walk to town.
