Some of the best snow in the Milky Way region
Montgenèvre is part of the superb Milky Way ski area offering some of the most extensive skiing in the world. Just 15 minutes from the Italian border, the Milky Way lift pass extension covers the famous Franco-Italian Milky Way ski circuit with over 400km of piste so you can ski in Italy as well as France. The village retains its charming and traditional centre and Montgenèvre even plays host to a festival in January 'Les Januades', when there is jazz, cinema, theatre and cabarets every evening.
Ski information
Beginners
Beginners are very well catered for on the gentle nursery slopes at village level. There are wide open pistes and a good selection of green runs to help you get started.
Intermediates
Intermediate skiers are spoilt for choice in the Montgenèvre ski area. Popular descents include the wide pistes down from Les Anges and Le Querelay and the long red run from Le Chalvet at 2,680m.
Advanced
Extensions to the lift pass covering different sections of the Milky Way (with over 400km of piste) can be purchased locally. Why not ski over to Italy down the black run into Cesana Torinese for lunch? Montgenèvre itself offers some exciting off-piste descents and bump runs especially in the Col de l'Alpet area.
