Sauze D’Oulx is famous for its abundance of rolling, tree lined red runs, buzzing mountain restaurants and lively après scene. Hidden from the wind but facing the sun, this Italian resort has a chilled out atmosphere in the day and is a great place to go to work on a goggle tan!

Bardonecchia has been long overlooked but is a real family-friendly gem of a ski resort. ‘Bardy’ offers a fantastic selection of forgiving tree-lined reds and blues, and many mountain restaurants handy for a quick pit-stop or a real Italian feast! Well worth a visit.

Serre Chevalier refers to the extensive linear ski area links the mountain area above Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Le Monêtier-les-Bains.

Carrying a transceiver, shovel and probe are compulsory, as is an understanding of how to use them. Local guides can be arranged to ensure your safety and show you the best spots so you get the most out of the day. This is also one of the best places in Europe for ine climbing if you fancy a real challenge! Approx. 1hr drive from Montgenèvre. NOTE: Additional lift pass purchase required to ski here.

Les Deux Alpes is a glacier resort where theyear-round skiing on the glacier is regarded as much gentler than the steep runs back to the resort level, earning this resort a reputation for being ‘upside-down’. It’s also famed for having one of the most extensive and acclaimed snowparks in Europe, with a huge ‘super-pipe’, multiple kickers, boardercross courses and grinding rails, making this ‘park rat’ heaven. It is, however, prone to queues of an hour during school holidays so best visited in the quiet weeks to get the most out of the day.
Approx. 1 hr 40 drive from Montgenèvre.
€440 for bus return* (up to 8 passengers)
Alpe D’Huez sits in an elevated south facing position with many easily accessible beginner slopes leading down to the restaurants and bars where the quirky ‘yogurt pots’ lifts transport people overhead. Further up, the extensive lift system serves more complex terrain including the world’s longest black run (10m/16km). There are alsoenviable freeride opportunities for the skilled and equipped skier or rider. Despite extensive snowmaking facilities, it suffers badly because of the sun later in the season, so keep checking the webcams and reports.Approx. 2 hrs from Montgenèvre.
€517 for bus return* (up to 8 passengers)
