Montgenevre Ski Resort & Transfer Guide

Montgenevre, located in the Cote D'Alpes in France, is a part of the skiing region of «Via Lattea», which includes 7 other Italian resorts: Claviere, Sansicario, Sestriere, Sous-Sauze D'Oulx, Oulx, Cesana, Pragelato. Montgenevre was founded in 1907. In 2007 the resort had celebrated its centenary, and is considered one of the first ski resorts in France.

Located at an altitude of 1850 meters Montgenevre is designed primarily for family rest. Skiing there is comfortable enough for middle-level skiers and beginners, but the proximity to the Italian border and the resorts of Sestriere and Sauze D'Oulx attracts also the professional skiers to this resort.

Ski Resort Location

The Montgenevre ski resort is a French piece of the huge joint «Via Lattea Zone» (Milky Way). The village of Montgenevre is situated on the eponymous pass at an altitude of 1854 m. This is one of the highest passes of the Alps, opened in the winter. This place used to play an important strategic role - as in times of knights, wars and princesses, and on our "holiday" days. Through the Pass of Montgenevre passes the border between France and Italy - this is the gateway from Italy to the French Southern Alps.

The lifts are located on two sides of the valley - east and west. Montgenevre was the only French resort that, along with the Italian Sestriere, Sauza D'Oulx and San Sicario, hosted the Alpine events of the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Turin 2006.

The resort offers two ski passes to choose from - the Montgenevre - Claviere home zone or the entire Via Lattea area.
