The place

Montgenèvre sits on the pass at about 1,860 m. Its skipass page separates the domains with unusual clarity: 95 km and 24 lifts on the French side, 110 km and 30 lifts once the Monts de la Lune toward Cesana are included. The wider Via Lattea continues into Italy. Know which pass you bought.

The 2030 map puts freestyle, snowboard, and ski mountaineering here. The 12 October 2026 release puts freeride here as well, sharing the site with ski mountaineering. The photograph of the col is the place, in summer clothes. The racing terrain will be the winter hill above the village, and the exact course is not published.

It is a smaller, higher village than Briançon. Stay here for the snow. Stay in Briançon for the town. Turin is the airport.

Before you book

Read the resort’s current piste map for the week you travel. A kilometre total is a brochure figure, useful for comparing domains and useless for predicting a queue. Lift passes are explained on the pass page. The Games timetable, where this resort is involved, is on the venue table.
