Montgenèvre is a ski resort sitting on the French side of the Franco/Italian border in the expansive Milky Way ski area. With an altitude range from 1,850m up to 2,630m, the resort boasts high-altitude and generally excellent snow cover from the start of the ski season in December right through to winter’s end around the end of April.
Montgenèvre’s closest airport is Turin International Airport, which sits 1.5 hours’ drive away — just over 100km. Chambery Airport is 1hr 45mins drive away and there’s also Grenoble-Isère Airport around a 2-hour drive (222km) from the resort. Geneva is 2.5 hours’ drive away too, so in short, you have plenty of airports to choose from! For train travellers, there’s an SNCF station in the nearby French town of Briançon with rail links to Lyon and Paris, then London.
On the accommodation side of things, Montgenèvre offers a strong range of different accommodation options, with chalets, hotels and apartments — both catered on a half-board basis and un-catered — to suit a broad range of budgets. You’ll find traditional ski chalets built in the classic Savoyard style as well as traditional hotels and self-catering suites. Overall there’s plenty of piste-side accommodation to choose from and you rarely have to walk far to get into the action.
Montgenevre is located at one end of the Milky Way and guests can visit the nearby resorts of Serre Chevalier, Puy St Vincent, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez for a free day with a 6 day lift pass.
Montgenèvre is not known for its vibrant après ski… things are generally pretty quiet on that front. There’s a limited range of spots for an après-ski drink but, of course, there are options available.
Venues such as the Refuge and Le Jamy are popular café-bars with welcoming afternoon sessions, and the Graal is a friendly, buzzing place with a good range of beers.
Diners in search of Savoyard specialities won’t be disappointed with the range of restaurants available in Montgenèvre, and from pizzas and pasta to burgers and crepes, there’s something to suit all budgets and tastes.

Away from the groomed slopes, non-skiers or those in need of a change of scenery can enjoy a broad range of relaxing or exciting pursuits. There’s snow-shoeing in the surrounding forests, sledging on the local slopes near resort, ice-skating on the town’s ice-rink and, for advanced back-country skiers and boarders, regular heli-trips to the off-piste terrain over on the Italian side of the ski area.

Montgenevre is located at one end of the Milky Way and guests can visit the nearby resorts of Serre Chevalier, Puy St Vincent, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez for a free day with a 6 day lift pass.
Parents visiting Montgenèvre with their children and looking for childcare options in the resort can turn to the ESF. There’s the Les Marmottes nursery for little ones aged from 6 months to 5 years, in which kids are cared for and entertained for half- or full-days, with or without meals included — as requested at time of booking. For older children, the Club Piou Piou offers safe and fun childcare, and the perfect introduction for young ones to the snow.
Up on the slopes, visitors to Montgenèvre have access to 85km of pistes in the local area and an impressive 400km across the entire Milky Way. This places Montgenèvre in one of France and Italy’s most expansive ski areas but all is not perfect… Despite lots of upgrades around the resort, many of the lift links up on the mountainsides are old, slow and in need of replacement. Getting around the ski area as a whole can be a laborious process!
There are ski rental shops located in the main town of Montgenevre. These include Montgenevre Ski Rental, Sport 2000, Intersport, Skiset and Skimium. All stores offer a good range of the latest ski and snowboard equipment. It is recommended that you pre book your hire as many stores will offer online discounts.
