Family-run Go Montgenèvre takes on the giants of the ski industry in the 2026 World Ski Awards

A small, family-owned operator based in France's birthplace of alpine skiing has been nominated for World's Best Ski Tour Operator to France 2026 — going head to head with TUI, Inghams, Crystal and Sunweb.

Go Alpes is casting four actors for Feels Like You / Go Reconnect, a short 16mm-inspired brand film shot in the Southern French Alps in July 2026.

Short answer: for most families, beginners and relaxed intermediates, yes, Montgenèvre is more than big enough, and its compact, sunny, ski-to-Italy character is exactly why people fall for it. But if you are a high-mileage skier who measures a holiday in kilometres covered, you might want its larger neighbour up the road, Serre Chevalier, with its 250km domain and valley of villages to roam.

Short answer: both are genuinely good resorts for beginners, and you would not have a bad first holiday in either. But they are good in very different ways.

Picture this: you’re carving down Montgenèvre’s wide, sun-soaked slopes, and tomorrow you’re off to explore a whole new Italian resort—all on the same pass. Sounds dreamy? Well, this winter it’s a reality.

For the first time ever, Montgenèvre guests with a 6-day or longer ski pass can now enjoy two free days in the Via Lattea and one free day in Bardonecchia. That’s right—you get access to not one, not two, but three world-class ski playgrounds on a single trip.

Let’s be honest: picking a lift pass in Montgenèvre can feel like trying to order from a restaurant where all the menus are written in code. You’ve got the Montgenèvre-only pass, the Monts de la Lune pass, and the mighty Via Lattea. And no, they’re not just fancy names for “small,” “medium,” and “large.”

Let’s be honest: when you hear “Montgenèvre”, your mind probably goes straight to powder days, roaring log fires, and a cheeky vin chaud after a long day on the slopes. But what if I told you that this magical alpine village, known and loved in winter, holds its real secret when the snow melts?

No crowds. No queues. No sweltering heatwaves. Just cool, clean mountain air, wildflower meadows, and the sound of cowbells echoing through the valley. Summer in Montgenèvre isn’t just a nice alternative to the beach. It’s a game-changer.

Why This Alpine Playground Is the Coolest Holiday You’ve Never Considered (Until Now).

Be honest—when someone says “summer holiday,” does your brain automatically serve up images of crowded beaches, sand in your sandwich, and sweating through your sunglasses?

Ever thought about swapping pistes without losing that Go Montgenèvre magic?

Picture this: you’ve been counting down the days to your Montgenèvre escape, and now, the time has finally come. The slopes are calling, the chalets are prepped, and the excitement is real. But before you even step foot in the resort, there’s something that will make your stay even smoother, more enjoyable, and packed with perks—your Go Montgenèvre Digital Welcome Book.
