Montgenevre summary

Montgenevre is located at the top of a pass on the French-Italian border, at the end of the huge Milky-Way complex. Montgenevre itself (La Voie Lactée ski area) offers some good skiing based around two mountains. There are some open bowls at the top and tree skiing lower down. The lift pass may tempt you to explore the Milky Way. However, this can become tedious as you schuss between endless lifts. Montgenevre is not a good option for snowboards and it takes a long time to get to the heart of the complex by which time you have to head back. Better to opt for a day trip to the nearby resort of Serre Chevalier, this is also included in the cost of a 6 day pass. The Montgenevre resort itself is small but lively with a good mix of restaurants, bars and clubs. You can wander down into Italy, which takes 10 minutes, for a pizza (prices are also a bit less over the boarder).

Resorts close to Montgenevre include: Claviere (3 km), Briancon (6 km), Cesana Torinese (6 km), San Sicario (7 km), Sestrière (9 km),

Visitor Reviews of Montgenevre


Christopher Slade from United Kingdom writes:

Week 24-31 December 2006
Positives:
sunny every day
enough good quality restaurants
esf were brillaint, esapecially the instructor
village was pretty much empty of traffic, thanks to the tunnel
Eagle Rock was an easy red run, which was brillaint fun
skiing into Italy from the top of eagle rock is for good skiers only and you also have to walk on the flat
ski bus's very good, however it finishes at 5.30
good place to learn
very short transfer from Turin
the best restauarants are:
Le Capitane - an Italian place, which does take away pizzas
Cadelasol - a lovely traditonal mountain food restaurant with great atmosphere
Le Graal - only does food at lunch times, it's where all the young people go, but is very good
everyone speaks very good English
Le Godrans is a very good place for beginners to advance to blues and reds

Negatives:
In the afternoon it got very icy, due to lack of snow even though we were lucky enough to get any.
no nigthlife, except the bar Ir Graal
too many Italian ski clubs and skiers filling up the slopes and lifts in the afternoon
the link between the main side and Le Chavlet was poor
only 1 main lift to get up the mountain, which creates horrible queues, however they are non existent in the morning
only 1 main green to get down from the top, very very busy and horrible
lots of runs shut on Le Chavlet side due to lack of snow
not much skiing between the trees
the streets were very icy and were'nt particulaly well maintained
piste map, not big enough and not up to date
piste markings were poor, some reds which should have been black and visa versa. also blues were quite tricky
only 2 very small supermarkets

overall, for my first week skiing I loved it, even though it needs improvements
