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.

Nice and quiet resort, plenty of good runs for beginners/intermediate.Not much going on at night, and not many restaurants.The accommodation we stayed was ok, could have done with more coat hooks/hangers in bedrooms.

Decent ski area with a fair variety of runs and easy access to wider Via Lattea.
Fairly priced restaurants and cafes on the mountain (and the gorgeous Les Terrasses) followed by a calm but pleasant apres ski scene with a good few bars and one tiny nightclub - think family oriented / drinks and a chat rather than a full-on apres session!
Broad variety of accommodation and a couple of small supermarkets for self-caterers, good range of ski rental places and easy access to the pistes seemingly from the whole village! Had a great week there!

The resort was pretty good overall. I especially liked the fact that you can ski to the Italian part in a day and come back to the French side/ vice versa.

Recent lift upgrades have vastly increased the speed of the longest lifts. Higher up the mountain queues are not long (<5 min) even on busy days. There is one lift with quite a horizontal run up which takes some speed to approach!

Good variety of pistes and plentiful runs, including possibility to add-on into Italy. Less forest-y runs but good variety of on-piste options and difficulties. The pistes straddle the town but are interconnected.

Beautiful resort with trees and separate bowls/areas to lose yourself in away from the town and really make it feel like youre in the mountains.
Easily accessible array of runs serviced by excellent lift system which link into other resorts and give option to slide across to Italy and join the linked area too.
Italian lunch anyone?
One of my fav resorts for tranquil beauty and making memories.

Montgenèvre is an easy choice as it is the only resort in Via Lattea that has a good balance of people and snow.

The slopes are challenging but nice and wide so you don't feel too many people around.

I eat rarely when I am skiing so not many reviews on that and I have a house in Oulx so I commute easily from there.

Great resort with over 200 runs and access to Italian resort Claviere. Hotels and main road across road from main ski lifts with direct access. Very beautiful resort with plenty of trees and off piste skiing.

We originally was in Sauze d'oulx in Italy but there was no snow so was stressing thinking the ski holiday was ruined so we asked a local for any where near that had snow and was referred to Montgenevre. Absolutely fantastic resort and saved us and our spirits. Fantastic and scenic runs and alot of the runs had very good lengths, couldnt recommend enough.

If you are more interested in family ski or boarding on quiet slopes then the lesser known Montgenevre is a great option. I've been going there with my family for over 10 years and the snow is always amazing. It seems to have a micro climate of its own and seems so snow sure. Because its not a party centre you can just relax and enjoy the quiet slopes and never crowded lifts. There's great runs and plenty of reds, blacks and gentler runs too. You can go offpiste and there's a speed run and snow park if that's your thing. We self cater so there are mini marts and bakeries to get supplies and plenty of great restaurants and bars too. Lovely place and I'm going again in 2025.

Nice compact resort with plenty of ski in ski out accommodation. Great ski school with multiple pickup locations and drop offs. Enough runs for an advanced skier especially if you take the option to ski into adjoining resorts. Very good for families and beginners with the excellent ski school setup and ample blue runs. Apres ski is not as exciting as other resorts. There are plenty of restaurant options and nice hotel bars too.

I have been coming here since I was 3 and had a brilliant time every year. The après-ski is not the best. The ski area is very good and can extend over into Italy with the right pass. The self catering accommodation that we stayed in was second to non, with a shop just down the road.

Based on the French Italian border this ski resort consists of large bowls and makes for some great skiing for all abilities. A lovely resort that sees a lot of sun. Making for some beautiful bluebird skiing.

Provides good skiing for family and cheaper compared to other resorts in the alps. It has great tree terrain skiing at its lower altitude but of course this comes with the downside of less reliable snow.

Ideal place for a family or mixed ability group downside is a ten min bus ride from most of the accommodation down to the centre where the ski schools are although its a free service. For skiers you can join the slopes at the top end of town so no need for the bus.

There is aprés but it is much more of a family feel.

Plenty of airports within 90mins transfer both in Italy Milan and Turin.

Good facilities for self catering and pizza a nice Spa down the bottom of town and if you have a motor-home there is a site right there.

A great varied resort. Something for everyone. Plenty of off piste opportunities, including in the trees. Fantastic slopes for beginners in the Gondwana sector.

Nice resort thats got all you need but not too big or hectic. Friendly, good altitude and snow is pretty reliable.

Easy access to other resorts for the day, such as Serre Chevalier.

A real hidden gem, Frances oldest ski resort and yet its never been commercially ruined. Perfect for families and mixed ability groups. Some of the best free ride in the European alps. Highly recommend

Montgenevre is a small yet fun resort with plenty of off-piste options aswell as lots of family friendly green and blue runs. The terrain isnt super steep compared to other french resorts yet its a beautiful domain and does still offer several very nice technical black runs, tree runs and it is usually pretty snow sure. Its connected to the Milky Way ski terrain which is great as you can cross over into Italy into other resorts and come back all in one day.
In addition to this the village has kept much of its french charm with a church, wooden cottages and freindly locals.
