Montgenèvre in the Summer

‘La vie est un beau rêe, mais ne vous réveillez pas’.

‘Life is a beautiful dream, but don’t wake up’.

Unless you are in Montgenèvre!

This French expression actually means to celebrate the beauty of life, with all the awe and wonder of every day lived well.

You could say this is Montgenèvre’s mantra.

Speaking of which – Montgenèvre…. beautifully situated – idyllic and chilled, but at the same time fast-paced, if you want it to be.

You can’t help but feel the warm atmosphere from this sunny Alpine resort. Rooted and grounded in remarkable history - the area is, as well as Montgenèvre itself. You’ll feel connected from the moment you set foot on Montgenèvre terrain.

What’s more, Montgenèvre is easily accessible from one of Europe’s main airports, Turin. Yes, in Italy but Montgenèvre casually boasts prime position, a stone’s throw from the Franco-Italian borderline.

With a winning combination of très bon weather, great summer sports and activities (as well as winter ones, of course) - Montgenèvre is the perfect hostess, Haute-Alpes. If you are wondering what to do with all that wide open space… the choice is yours!

Montgenèvre has a gift and the charm – all year round - to embrace and encourage all ages and all abilities in pretty much everything on offer.

The Alps are certainly not just for winter. Yes, skiing in Montgenevre is pretty fly! But Summertime is super – on a different level.

Here are some summertime pursuits to consider:

Bike Park & Mountain Biking ~ The Bike Park is an impressive facility, which will definitely have you feeling free, free-wheeling and leaving you breathless – from the views! Go Mountain Biking for high altitude style cross country routes and graded trails.

Walks and Hikes ~ You can just imagine the offerings on foot. With an opportunity to mix culture and history with a walk or hike or just to marvel the location and landscape. All that fresh alpine air and the endless mountainous viewpoints - stunning.

Golf ~ At the highest golf course in the Haute-Alpes.

Tobogganing ~ Take a thrilling 3-minute mono-rail run on the Luge Monty Express and descend with delight, 1,400m with a 300m vertical drop, moving at a speed of about 30-40km/h.

Durancia Spa ~ Montgenèvre’s resident spa, with leisure pools a-plenty, in a number of shapes and sizes. Balneotherapy and Nuxe spa products and treatments. As if by magic you come away feeling 10 years younger.

And the list goes on…

With some more familiar activities like quad biking, fishing, kayaking, horse riding, sightseeing, water activities on the lake… to some more unusual pursuits like Alps river rafting and tubing, and rope tree climbing and treetop trails.
