Overview

Montgenèvre

Right on the French-Italian border, the ski resort of Montgenèvre combines the charm of a traditional mountain village with the class of a world class international ski area: The Milky Way, in which Montgenevre is part, has over 400km of marked ski runs (The ski area is linked to Sestrieres). The village can be found 1860 metres above sea level and towers up to 2700 m at the top of its slopes. In Montgenevre you can be sure to be seduced by the quality of the snow, the exceptional views and large levels of sunshine. The large area at the bottom of the slopes has a feast of activities and entertainment both day and night making sure that this is a resort that will delight young and old alike. The resort features a fleet of lifts; higher up two telemix (new generation ski lifts - combining lift seats and cabins), treadmills for beginners down at the bottom and an hourly capacity of 35,000 skiers, Montgenèvre does not scrimp on its investments and in turn rewards its visitors with the highest levels of comfort. Montgenèvre pampers beginners with a new area (50,000 m2) at the bottom of the slopes along with a fun trail along the “Gondrans”. For those a little more experienced there is a testing bordercross course. Montgenèvre looks after the little ones too and lives up to its French certification "Family Plus Mountain". The town is a little wonderland for little princes and princesses: Nurseries, kid's club, snow garden, beginner areas and play areas. It's sure that families will love Montgenevre! For holiday makers who don't ski, whatever they want to do, Montgenèvre has something to occupy them. There is a plethora of unusual activities (aperitif in a Mongolian yurt, introduction to ice climbing, bobsleigh on the Olympic luge in Cesana, freestyle on the BigAirBAG, tobogganing and heli-skiing in Sauze d'Oulx to name but a few) Off the slopes and the atmosphere and après-ski in the town is marvellous, la dolce vita as the Italians say, with the sun shining on Montgenevre a town, it's a great place to explore, alone, as a couple, with family as with friends.
