The successful, family-run business, Go Montgenevre, was announced as the winner of the international award from Lux Life’s Global Hospitality Awards. The awards aims to showcase the most dynamic and dedicated companies across the hospitality market.

Montgenèvre is a leading family ski resort in the French Alps, offering 425km of snow-sure ski area, and enjoys nearly 300 days of sunshine a year. Some families dream of catching their winter sun on beaches around the world but why not build up your tan in the mountains?

Having spent the last four winters in Montgenèvre, I have had the real Montgenèvre experience and it is definitely a place I now call home.

Have you only ever visited the Alps in the Winter? Do you go home after your ski holiday and wonder what those incredible mountains hold during the Summer? Here’s a little insight into what the beautiful village of Montgenevre has to offer during those warmer months…

Want to make Montgenevre part of your Summer road trip?

Although we love Montgenevre, there is so much to explore in the surrounding area. If you have a car with you why not base yourself in the village, and enjoy everything it has to offer and more.

Is it just us or do you too like to listen to music on your holiday to the mountains? Whether it is while hiking a peak in the summer or skiing down some perfect pistes in the winter. We have started to put together the sounds of Montgenevre on some Spotify playlists. That way you start planning your perfect playlist or remind yourself of the sounds of Monty while stuck at home.

This is due to its unique valley layout, catching snow from both the north and south and its high starting altitude of 1850m. It boosts lift accessed skiing up to 2570m and over 3000m+ for those after adventure.

Nous sommes réputés pour la qualité de notre neige, mais ce que les gens ne savent pas toujours, c'est le niveau d'équipement et d'expertise disponible ici même dans le village, dans la grande variété de magasins de ski et de snowboard. Le niveau d'expertise locale et technique en matière de terrain, d'ajustement et d'équipement n'est tout simplement pas disponible dans votre magasin Snow and Rock local, et cela vaut la peine de visiter n'importe lequel des grands magasins du village.
