Why Skiing in Montgenèvre is the Best European Adventure for North American Skiers

Experience the Charm of European Skiing Without the Crowds

If you've been dreaming of skiing in Europe but aren't sure where to start, Montgenèvre might just be the perfect place. Nestled in the French Alps, right on the Italian border, Montgenèvre combines old-world European charm with world-class skiing. As France’s oldest ski resort, it offers a unique blend of rich history, modern amenities, and access to some of the best skiing in Europe.

Why Montgenèvre is a North American Skier's Dream

Compared to the mega-resorts in the Alps, Montgenèvre remains relatively undiscovered by American skiers. That means fewer lift lines, more open runs, and a truly authentic European ski experience. With access to over 250 miles of skiable terrain in the Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, you can explore everything from wide cruisers to legendary off-piste routes.

A Mixed Ability Paradise

Traveling with family or a group of skiers at different skill levels? Montgenèvre was voted one of Europe’s best resorts for mixed-ability groups. With a variety of green and blue runs leading from the very top of the resort, beginners and intermediates won’t feel left out while experts can venture off to nearby La Grave or the extreme terrain of the Via Lattea.

Easy Travel from North America

Many American skiers are used to flying into Denver, Salt Lake City, or Vancouver for their ski vacations. Getting to Montgenèvre is surprisingly simple. Fly into Milan, Italy, or Geneva, Switzerland, and take a scenic train or shuttle to the resort. And why not make the most of it? Spend a few days exploring Milan, Paris, or Rome before or after your ski trip for the ultimate European getaway.
