Montgenèvre village and resort, in the heart of the French Alps, has recently been granted a substantial financial boost

High-Altitude Ice Rink in Montgenèvre, French Cottian Alps. Ice Skating in Montgenèvre village and ski resort is a whole new level of cool.

The scene is set - picture-perfect - with mountains and mountains of snow all around.

“Skiing without borders or boundaries”

In the heart of the Italian and French Alps towers the La Voie Lactee, as it is known in France and in Italy, the Via Lattea - the famous ‘Milky Way’ skiing domain. It is made up of a series of communes and ski resorts spanning the Italian and French Alps with over 400km of interconnected slopes that cross the borderline of Italy and France at Claviere on the Italian side and Montgenèvre in France. It is in fact the largest expanse of skiing territory in Europe and is so vast that it feels as if it reflects the very length and breadth of the night skies, milky way.

ESF, École Du Ski Français, is a renowned French-based ski school with over 220 locations spread far and wide across the French Alps.

What is even more impressive is that they have been teaching skiing in our valley since 1934.

With us as your British French-Alps based holiday specialists - with our ears to the ground, literally, at 1,860m altitude - you are in for a treat.

Updated information on travelling to Montgenèvre from the UK.

A few minutes from Montgenèvre lies the enchanting little hamlet of Les Alberts, which forms part of the district, commune of Montgenèvre. Montgenèvre and Les Alberts are linked geographically and historically. Les Alberts is nestled at the foot of Col de Montgenèvre and perfectly positioned as the south end starting point of the Vallée de la Clarée – a region of undulating, unspoilt landscapes, encompassed by majestic mountains and a scattering of picturesque, traditional villages along the way.

Being tucked away in the Haute-Alpes at 1,860m does not deter from the fact that Montgenèvre is easily accessible from the nearest airport in the region. Montgenèvre is practically situated just 1km away from the Italian borderline, which makes the nearest airport across the border in Turin, the capital city of Piedmont in Northern Italy.

Just as Montgenèvre is ideally situated - at 1,860m, in France, near the border of Italy - so too is Claviere, except it sits on the Italian side of the borderline, at 1,760m.

It’s hard to fault this idyllic village. You can’t quite help but fall in love with this Haute-Alpes gem from the moment you set foot, or ski, onto its snowy terrain. The fact that the village of Montgenèvre has been around for more than a century - its village charm comes naturally, without pretence and literally oozes a sunny disposition on most days. Known as France’s original and oldest ski resort, and termed ‘Monty’ by the British, it was only re-discovered in the ‘90’s from the Brits and others as they came to know and love all that it so effortlessly offers.

Svaret på dette spørgsmål er SIKKER!

Med en starthøjde på 1.860 m er Montgenèvre et af de mest snesikre feriesteder i Alperne, og der er en grund til, at det kaldes Haute-Alpes (Høje Alperne).

Montgenèvre ligger smukt ved foden af pisterne i 1.860 meters højde og er en lille bjergby ved vejkanten og et familievenligt skisportssted i regionen Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, som er en del af Hautes-Alpes, kun 1,5 km fra den franske og italienske grænse.
