The resort has made big strides in recent years, banishing through-traffic and developing modern upscale lodgings.
Montgenevre is a small village sitting on a high east-west pass only 2km from the Italian border. The village is set on the sunny slope above the main street (the through-road is now buried in a tunnel) looking over the nursery slopes at the foot of the north-facing slopes of Les Gondrans. Behind the village are the south-facing slopes of Le Chalvet.
Pros and cons
-
Varied local slopes, plus access to Italian Milky Way resorts, notably Sauze d’Oulx and Sestriere
-
Good local snow record
-
Suits all abilities: excellent nursery slopes, plenty of cruising and good off-piste terrain that is underused
-
A lot of accommodation close to the slopes, some right on them
-
Sauze and Sestriere take time to reach without road transport
-
Lots of slow lifts, seriously undermining the resort’s appeal for some (including us)
-
Little to challenge experts on-piste
-
Limited range of restaurants and apres-ski places
On the Slopes
However it now needs to prioritize investment in fast lifts – getting around the pistes can be a painfully slow-motion affair. If you’re focused on the under-exploited off-piste, the slow lifts matter less. It gets much better snow than its Italian neighbours – it is set on a minor pass, a position that delivers snow whichever way the wind is blowing, but most importantly when it’s blowing from the west. Both sectors have piste links with Claviere, just over the Italian border and gateway to the other Italian resorts of the Milky Way – Sansicario, Sestriere and Sauze d’Oulx.
There are lift pass sharing arrangements with Serre Chevalier and Puy St Vincent, easily reached by car, and with rather less easily reached Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez, which involve going over the Col du Lautaret – high, but not usually a problem.

Updated 31/12
The New Year begins fine, dry and bright with high pressure dominating over the French Alps, although unsettled weather that pummels the UK on New Year’s Day will eventually filter across to the continent, bringing plenty of snow with it as it comes. Around 20cm of snowfall will fall across Thursday and into Friday, primarily across high ground as the freezing line remains high – just above the 1,000m mark during the day, dropping just below overnight.
Friday turns bitterly bitterly cold, with the Jetstream changing its angle of attack and sweeping down from the Arctic and Scandinavia. This will plunge temperatures at 2,000m, with daytime highs expected of around -12°C – minus twelve degrees Celcius.
Saturday will see the freezing line begin to rise, but another low pressure system sweeps in bringing snow across the weekend. This see some serious snowfall totals, with at least 80cm expected across Saturday evening, Sunday and into Monday, with snowfall continuing as the new week begins. Temperatures will rise, however, with the freezing line hitting 2,000m and staying there, meaning snowfall will be limited to higher ground.
High pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions are likely to see out the rest of next week, although we will know for certain closer to the time.
