Blue skies, white snow and wonderful warm sun - what could be more idyllic?! Montgenevre boosts a yearly average of over 300+ days of sunshine. When’s its not sunny, its snowing.

We’re famous for great snow, but what people don’t always know is the level of equipment and expertise available right here in the village too at the wide variety of ski and board shops. The level of local and technical expertise in terrain, fitting and equipment is just not available in your local Snow and Rock store back home and it’s worth a visit to any of the great shops in the Village.
