From the 9th to the 13th of February of 1907 the first international ski race took place in Montgenèvre. In this occasion, some 3000 specators come to support skiers from six different nations. So, Montgenèvre become the first mountain village in France to enter in the era of winter sports' tourism, and it is best known as « The oldest ski resort in France ».

 

 

Because of its peculiar geographical placement, Montgenèvre gets snowfalls coming from East. This important snowcover and the altitude of the village (1850 m) ensure that in Montgenèvre you can ski 5 months during the year !

But also, Montgenèvre has a microclimate typical of its region, with 300 sunny days per year, and that is really appreciated by our guests.
