“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.

Revel in pure enjoyment amid an authentic Alpine setting on an elevated, single rail sled ride, AKA the Luge Monty Express! Experience an exhilarating assault on every sense, that will leave you wanting more.

Take a bird’s eye view of the optimal, elevated ski areas in Montgenèvre, thanks to the ideally situated webcams. Positioned for your convenience and for real-time video footage of weather conditions and overall perspective of certain focal points around our picturesque ski resort.

At 1,860m altitude sits a village and ski resort of ancient origins and high and mighty proportions – that’s magical Montgenèvre.

Take it from us - Go Montgenèvre - having been established here since 2006 as mountain holiday specialists, Montgenèvre is an extra special place.

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. Combine that with the fact that Montgenèvre literally put skiing on the map, as the very first ski resort, in 1907, and you can’t get any more original and authentic than that! It goes without saying that skiing - in Montgenèvre, amid the mighty massifs and steep history - is not just skiing…

Montgenèvre might seem like a mouthful especially when you have to put on your best French accent, but it’s ok, c’est bon, it’s easier to say than you think!

One thing that is for certain amidst the toing and froing of restrictions and travel bans - the magnifique mountains of Montgenèvre continue to stand high and mighty (1.860m to be exact) and are long awaiting your arrival. And the good news is, it is again possible for you to travel from the UK to France. Make no mistake, now is the time to make a break for it and make your way to The Continent.

A message about changing rules for guests from the UK.

Turn your trepidation of being able to travel again into excited anticipation! As a family-run holiday and hospitality company based in Montgenèvre, we recently travelled (with family in tow) to and from the UK and we want to assure you that it is a very viable venture now, even with little ones. Overall it was a successful undertaking!
