What is the weather like in Montgenèvre?

Whether you are considering a comeback or plan to fall in love (and you will!) for the first time, with the Alps - a holiday in the mountains, Hautes-Alpes, is a favourable option.

Updated information on travelling to Montgenèvre from the UK. It’s time. Time to travel again… Time for some galivanting in the glory of the great outdoors. Get vaccinated (if you aren’t already) – and head for the hills – or mountains, rather!

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.

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.
