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 17/12
Another really mixed week of weather is in store for the French Alps. Wednesday starts fine, dry and bright, with high pressure bringing mild temperatures high – positive temperatures at 2,000m can easily be expected.
As another area of strong low pressure moves over the UK and Ireland before heading into Northern Europe and Scandinavia, this will bring good snowfall even as far south as the French Alps. Conditions will change quickly on Thursday, with over a foot of snowfall expected down over the course of the day. This will start on higher slopes only as the freezing line remains high, brushing 2,500m at midday. However, this will fall as the day goes on, bringing snow all the way to lower elevations as the evening wears on. Friday will then start and stay cold, with -10°C expected around 2,000m – a mix of sun and cloud will be in store for Friday as the last few floccons move in over the course of the morning.
High pressure will then return on the weekend, with fine, dry and bright conditions dominating as temperatures remain cold. Even more unsettled weather will then move in again as the weekend concludes, bringing a few flurries of snow and possibly setting up for new snow for Christmas week – expect temperatures to rise again as the freezing line climbs back over 2,000m in this period.
