Reviews

Rebecca Mangherini

Located on the border between Italy and France, Montgenèvre offers incredible views and well-groomed slopes, perfect for skiers of all levels. Thanks to its altitude and consistent snowfall, it guarantees excellent skiing conditions throughout the season. The facilities are modern and the attendance is lower than other resorts in the Milky Way, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility and stress-free skiing. However, connections to other resorts in the area are not always easy, and those seeking a lively nightlife may find it a bit quiet. Overall, Montgenèvre is a perfect destination for families, intermediate skiers, and lovers of authentic mountain scenery. Despite a few small limitations, it remains a charming destination and recommended for a ski holiday.
