Montgenèvre, Alpine ski resort in Hautes-Alpes, France
Montgenèvre is a ski resort in the French Alps located at approximately 1860 meters (6100 feet) and spreads across multiple mountain slopes. It offers more than 50 runs and over 30 lift systems that serve skiers of all levels.
The settlement sits on a mountain pass that has connected France and Italy since Roman times. In the twentieth century, this historical route transformed from a simple transport corridor into a modern winter sports center.
The settlement blends French and Italian mountain traditions visible in local restaurants and shops throughout the area. Residents speak both languages and use this border location as a natural meeting point between two Alpine communities.
The best way to reach the area is by car or public transport over the mountain road. Parking is available in several zones, and the slopes start from the village or are easily accessible on foot.
The area is part of the cross-border Via Lattea ski network that allows skiers to travel into Italy while remaining on skis. This means visitors can explore multiple connected resorts on a single route without removing their equipment.
