Montgenevre

If you’re looking for a picturesque ski break on French soil, then you could do a lot worse than consider the alpine resort of Montgenevre.

Offering easy links to the Milky Way ski circuit over the border in Italy, Montgenevre provides a wide selection of ski runs that are suitable for visitors of all levels – although beginner and intermediate level skiers will be particularly well catered for.

That’s not to say that expert skiers should go elsewhere; far from it. There’s plenty to keep the more experienced visitors entertained, both within the resort and also further afield in the wider area.

The traditional surroundings of Montgenevre offer real French charm, whilst on the slopes you can expect to find good levels of snow thanks to the high altitude of the mountains.

With little in the way of queues compared to other alpine resorts, you’ll be able to maximise your time on the slope before making full use of the après-ski and the alternative activities available across the resort.

A fun-filled winter break is pretty much assured…
