What Skiers Say About Montgenèvre

Montgenèvre is consistently described as a quiet, family-friendly resort sitting on the French-Italian border at 1,860m. Reviewers span beginner to expert level, with the majority being intermediate skiers. 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 limited après-ski and nightlife is noted repeatedly, with reviewers either appreciating the relaxed atmosphere or finding entertainment options sparse. Several users return year after year, citing value for money and uncrowded slopes as key draws.

Whilst we only visited montgenevre for a few day trips across from Sauze we had a fantastic time here. There is a great variety of pisted runs and we had a big dump of snow the day before so conditions were perfect. There are a few options for food in town and some restaurants on the piste but options are a little limited

Fabulous week skiing and socialising in Montgenèvre. A beautiful resort, great skiing options for a beginner like ne but also accommodated more advanced skiers in our group. Some were even able to ski into Italy! Restaurants all very good and reasonably priced although occasionally no seats for apres ski drinks. Our chalet (for 16) was incredible. Best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in on holiday! Sad to leave! Will be back!

Montgenevre is a real family friendly resort. I have been going ever since I was 5 and would consider it a second home.

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!

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.

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.

It had a variety of different pistes and suitable for levels of skiers and snowboarders. Availability of lessons for 1-1 and group was brilliant and had a sectioned slope for beginners to practice. Everyone who worked there were very friendly and always aimed to help in any way.

Full resort not open until 20.12.2025, so review based on this fact. 1 side of the mountain open, but as it was quiet, there were no lift queues.

Great skiing experience late in the season. Good selection of restaurants dotted around the resort, even with a basic pass. Best food was at the terraces. Best skiing experience was on the snow part third of the resort with freeride area, snow park and groomed runs for all abilities.

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!
