Affectionately known as “the Pearl of the Southern Alps”, Montgenèvre is a beautiful, high-level resort offering excellent skiing facilities set amongst a traditional stone built village. At 1860m and covering 145km of piste, it is an ideal resort for the beginner and intermediate skier. Links into the well-known and extensive ‘Milky Way’ ski area, which includes Sauze d’Oulx, Sestrière and Clavière give a total area of 400 km of piste.
The skiing
The ski school is familiar with English school groups and will ensure a great week. The skiing area boasts 100km in Montgenèvre and a further 50km on the Italian side in Clavière. This whole area is included in your ski pass. Beginners can ski the green runs close to the village on the first few days, then conquer the slopes higher up in the Collet Vert later in the week. For intermediates the majority of runs are blue and red. Black runs from the summit of Le Querelay will test the more experienced skier. Extensions to the lift pass can be purchased locally, allowing you to ski to Italy!
Après ski
The quaint and cobbled village of Montgenèvre is clustered around the old church and exudes a delightful charm. The cafes and bars are lively and freindly, some having exciting open fires, as well as featuring live bands. As it is less than 60km from Turin (host of the 2006 winter Olympics) your group is guaranteed to immerse itself in the Olympic spirit!
