Montgenevre ski resort, France
Montgenevre is one of those rare resorts with everything, including possibly the best non-glacier conditions in France! The attractive high altitude old village of Montgenevre is convenient and snowsure with brilliant skiing for all standards and high mileage for those who want it.ski holidays Montgenevre: perfect for an early morning blast!
From the terrace of the Rocketski hotel at Montgenevre ski resort you can see a vast, white expanse of gently shelving slopes fed by lifts. Beyond is a wide bowl, mostly above the trees. Behind the hotel is the sunny, south-facing slope, reached after a long schuss and short walk, or a longer walk up the village (all the skiing is in front of the hotel so need to amend). It's less accessible, quieter, uncrowded, a brilliant area for an early morning blast.Montgenevre ski resort: more lifts, pistes and links every year
