“Skiing without borders or boundaries”

In the heart of the Italian and French Alps towers the La Voie Lactee, as it is known in France and in Italy, the Via Lattea - the famous ‘Milky Way’ skiing domain. It is made up of a series of communes and ski resorts spanning the Italian and French Alps with over 400km of interconnected slopes that cross the borderline of Italy and France at Claviere on the Italian side and Montgenèvre in France. It is in fact the largest expanse of skiing territory in Europe and is so vast that it feels as if it reflects the very length and breadth of the night skies, milky way.

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.

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. Les Alberts is nestled at the foot of Col de Montgenèvre and perfectly positioned as the south end starting point of the Vallée de la Clarée – a region of undulating, unspoilt landscapes, encompassed by majestic mountains and a scattering of picturesque, traditional villages along the way.

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.

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. Known as France’s original and oldest ski resort, and termed ‘Monty’ by the British, it was only re-discovered in the ‘90’s from the Brits and others as they came to know and love all that it so effortlessly offers.

The answer to that question is FOR SURE! With a starting altitude of 1,860m, Montgenèvre is one of the top snowsure resorts in the Alps, its called the Haute-Alpes (High Alps) for a reason.

Just as the sun likes to shine down on Montgenèvre for the most part of the year – there is rarely a dull moment when it comes to things to do – even in winter – and even if you are not a skier.

Sitting pretty at the foot of the slopes at 1,860m altitude, Montgenèvre is a small roadside mountain village and family-friendly ski resort in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, forming part of the Hautes-Alpes, just a mile from the French and Italian border.

Montgenèvre is authentically French even though it is a stone’s throw from Italy and many an Italian voice can be heard, it has a great mix of French and Italian skiing and culture.
