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.

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.

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.
