About

Nestled at 1,860 metres above sea level, Montgenèvre is a classic alpine village with a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere. The resort is the gateway to the spectacular Via Lattea ski circuit that links 410 km of pistes across the French‑Italian border, and offers 78 trails in its own 95 km terrain. It has earned the prestigious Famille Plus label, ensuring child‑friendly slopes, well‑qualified ski schools, and a range of entertainment options such as luge, a snow park and an ice rink. In summer, visitors can hike, bike, or simply soak in the sun on the mountain’s lower slopes while enjoying scenic views that were once prized by the 1907 founders and still impress modern travellers. The nearby Monts de la Lune and the wider Via Lattea network provide further variety for both winter and summer sports enthusiasts. With reliable snowmaking, a family‑oriented culture, and easy access from major cities by road and rail, Montgenèvre remains a sought‑after destination for both hard‑core skiers and those simply looking for a charming getaway in the French Alps.
