The village
- Situated at an altitude of 1,860 metres on the Italian border, Montgenèvre is a true haven of peace. Just a stone’s throw from the Italian border.
- Montgenèvre is 15 minutes from Briançon and its Vauban-era town, and from the magnificent Clarée Valley. Whether in winter or summer, make the most of the proximity to such attractions whilst enjoying the tranquillity of a small village.
- The small Italian village of Clavière is 1 km from Montgenèvre, easily accessible on foot or on skis. Just 15 minutes away on the Italian side lies the town of Cesana, and Turin is only an hour’s drive away.
- You’ll be charmed by the quality of the snow, the exceptional panoramic views and the sunshine – over 300 days a year.
The slopes
- Montgenèvre combines the charm of a traditional mountain village with the largest international ski area, the Voie Lactée, and its 400 km of slopes.
- Make the most of your 6-day ski pass, which entitles you to a free day on the Voie Lactée to ski as far as Sestrières.
Access
- Montgenèvre is easily accessible by car. Situated on the French-Italian border, between Oulx (Italy) and Briançon (France), Montgenèvre lies on a mountain pass at an altitude of 1,860 metres. The road is very well maintained and cleared of snow, as it is a national road. However, we advise you to come equipped with snow chains or snow tyres.

- Oulx railway station (Italy) is 18 km away: TGV via Paris to Oulx in 4h30 + shuttle buses from Oulx.

- International Golf
The Montgenèvre golf complex comprises a 9-hole full-length course, a 9-hole compact course and a driving range. Thanks to a partnership with the neighbouring Italian golf course at Clavière, you have the unique opportunity to play an 18-hole international course by crossing the border throughout the season.
The combination of the two courses offers a variety of architectural designs and allows you to practise all kinds of shots.
