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 01/04
Snow returns to the Alps again from Tuesday afternoon, as up to 30cm falls overnight Tuesday and throughout Wednesday in the Southern and Eastern French Alps. This is aided by a freezing line topping out at 2,000m, falling off to 1,500m overnight, allowing this snow to reach all elevations. Resorts in the far northwest of the region, closest to Geneva, will miss out on this snow as it tracks in from the East, over the Italian Alps.
After a cold Wednesday evening, high pressure and spring conditions return, with a serious swing between overnight lows and midday highs. The freezing line will settled at 1,000m overnight, before climbing to over 2,500m in the midday sun. This amplitude will close as the weekend approaches, with the overnight freezing line tucking in just below 2,000m.
These fine, dry and bright conditions will continue well into the weekend and beyond.
