## About Montgenèvre

Montgenèvre sits on the Italian border at the top of a pass that the Romans used, and it is one of the oldest ski resorts in France — the first competitions were held here in 1907.

Its lifts connect straight into the Via Lattea, the 400 km cross-border area that runs on to Sestriere and Sauze d'Oulx, so a day here can cross into Italy for lunch. The southern Alps sunshine is the other draw.

## Where lessons start

Gentle, sunny beginner terrain right by the village, and the border crossing gives a memorable objective once the group can ski a blue.

## Getting there

Turin is about an hour and a half and is often the cheapest way in; Briançon is 15 minutes down the French side.
