About the area
Montgenèvre sits in the French Southern Alps and counts 61.92 km of marked pistes. Almost two thirds of that — 64%, or 39 km — is green or blue, and 22 of the easy runs start right next to a lift base, so learners can repeat the same slope without long traverses; three magic carpets cover the first steps. That makes it a clear yes for beginners and for families. Experts will find it thin: only 5.11 km, 8% of the network, is black or freeride terrain, and the longest vertical on a single run is 675 m.
The skiing runs between 1795 m and 2581 m, served by 24 lifts: 2 gondolas, 10 chairlifts, 4 j-bars, 3 drag lifts, 2 mixed lifts and 3 magic carpets. The gondolas help with small children, since there is no chairlift loading. Longest descent: 4044 m. Cross-country skiers have 4.84 km of trails.
