Firstly, if you or your family are suffering from it’s direct effects, and unwell or worried for your safety, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Montgenevre is one of the most snow sure ski resorts in the Alps, just over an hour away from Turin.

The area, with easy access to the whole Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, it’s fast becoming a Freeride destination, for those that know the secrets of the area.

The successful, family-run business, Go Montgenevre, was announced as the winner of the international award from Lux Life’s Global Hospitality Awards. The awards aims to showcase the most dynamic and dedicated companies across the hospitality market.

Montgenèvre is a leading family ski resort in the French Alps, offering 425km of snow-sure ski area, and enjoys nearly 300 days of sunshine a year. Some families dream of catching their winter sun on beaches around the world but why not build up your tan in the mountains?

Having spent the past four winters in Montgenevre, I have had the true Montgenevre experience and it is definitely somewhere I now call home. I can happily say that the village welcomed me in with open arms, spending every day up and down the slopes, in and out of the restaurants and bars, building happy memories with those around you in such a wonderful place.

Have you only ever visited the Alps in the Winter? Do you go home after your ski holiday and wonder what those incredible mountains hold during the Summer? Here’s a little insight into what the beautiful village of Montgenevre has to offer during those warmer months…

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.

Is it just us or do you too like to listen to music on your holiday to the mountains? Whether it is while hiking a peak in the summer or skiing down some perfect pistes in the winter. We have started to put together the sounds of Montgenevre on some Spotify playlists. That way you start planning your perfect playlist or remind yourself of the sounds of Monty while stuck at home.

If like me, you are you prefer a warmer ski trip, March and April are the best months of the season to be in the mountains. Blue skies, white snow and wonderful warm sun - what could be more idyllic?! Montgenevre boosts a yearly average of over 300+ days of sunshine. When’s its not sunny, its snowing.

We’re famous for great snow, but what people don’t always know is the level of equipment and expertise available right here in the village too at the wide variety of ski and board shops. The level of local and technical expertise in terrain, fitting and equipment is just not available in your local Snow and Rock store back home and it’s worth a visit to any of the great shops in the Village.
