Great Ski resort on the borders of France & Italy
Second time in this Ski resort with Ski Miquel Holidays. Superb place for beginners and caution skiers with their long easy Green runs as well as more challenging routes. We had good weeks skiing due to snow on Tuesday night whilst we were there and sun shine the rest of the week. My only negative is that there is not many apres bars with live music in the early evenings after a hard day’s skiing to relax in. I would certainly recommend this resort again and suggest you look at Ski Miquel Holidays for a catered chalet

Three generation holiday with first time on the slopes for the grandchildren.
Family friendly resort with loads of ski shops and restaurants. Less than 90 minutes from Turin airport makes it a great place to visit with young children and lovely sledging slope and beginner area with moving carpet so you can get little ones on their first ski trip experiencing skiing very quickly. You can rent a toboggan for just 5-7 euros and return it to the shop the same day. Skating rink. The expert skiers in our party went over to Italy and had amazing skiing off piste and in the trees. Booking made at MMV Les Airelles with Ski Heidi UK to package with private transfers for our first trip since covid. Flights avoided French airspace as air traffic controllers in France were on strike!

Great resort for beginners and rusty intermediates
We stayed in Montgenevre for a week in early January 2020 and loved it. My husband and I hadn't skied for 20 years and our teenage kids had never skied. This was an idea resort for our party. We stayed in the L'Obelisque part of the village, which had a great bakery and supermarket and we were able to ski from our accomodation to the Chavlet gondola about 50m away. The one negative of this location was that it was about 10 or 15 minutes walk with ski gear to the ski school meeting point. Not too bad and there was a free shuttle bus, but we never caught it. The beauty of Montgenevre for beginners is that by day 3 of lessons, from never having been on a pair of skis, the kids were skiing right from the top of the mountain to the village, on green runs all the way. They had morning lessons with ESF, which were great. If you are going to Montgenevre for a week you can only buy a Monts de la Lune pass (rather than cheaper Montgenevre Only), which covers a much broader area, including Claviere, Cesana, Sansicario, Sestrière and Sauze d’Oulx. It's pretty easy to ski over to Claviere, via the flattish 'Golf' run. To get back you need to ski a red from the top of Col De Boeuf ski lift, which is quite straightforward. We did this on a couple of mornings and it was well worth it. Montgenevre was lovely and quiet, in Claviere we felt like we had our own private resort! If you take the quick chairlift 'Serra Granet' to the top there are several wide, easy and quiet reds to choose from.
