Winter Season at Montgenèvre

Montgenèvre, nestled at an altitude of 1860 meters on the French-Italian border, transforms into a pristine white wonderland during winter, offering an authentic alpine experience with abundant snowfall and sunshine. It's renowned for its extensive ski domain, part of the vast Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, connecting it to Italian resorts like Sestriere and Sauze d'Oulx. The resort boasts a diverse range of pistes suitable for all levels, from gentle beginner slopes in the lower areas to exhilarating black runs and challenging off-piste opportunities higher up, particularly around Le Chalvet and Rocher de l'Aigle. Families appreciate the dedicated children's areas, modern lift infrastructure, and the charming, unpretentious village atmosphere. Beyond alpine skiing, visitors can indulge in cross-country skiing across scenic Nordic trails, snowshoeing through silent forests, or experience the thrilling Monty Luge, a rail toboggan open year-round. The resort's south-facing slopes ensure ample sunlight, making it a bright and welcoming destination even on the coldest days. The blend of French charm and Italian proximity also influences the vibrant culinary scene, offering hearty mountain dishes perfect after a day on the slopes.
