Montgenèvre
Montgenevre is celebrating her 100th birthday this year!! In 1895 two Norwegian soldiers turned up and showed the French how to ski, the practice spread throughout the area and on the 9-13th February 1907 Montgenevre played host to her first International Ski Competition! More than 3000 spectators came from all over Europe to cheer on the champions and France’s first ski resort was born.
By 1936 Mongenevre had installed its first ski tow and the resort became THE place to be seen if you were a Parisian in the 30’s and 40’s.
Montgenevre will be celebrating it’s Centenary by going back through it’s past. Throughout the season there will be many events such as a show of traditional costumes, a classic car meeting and the restoration of the ski jump where Durban Hansen accomplished a 26m jump in 1930!

The Companie du Mont Blanc have been working hard all summer and have lots of new exciting features to make this winter season go super smoothly.
In Brévent/Flégère there is a new six-man chairlift that will double the capacity of the old lift. In the Grands Montets area there is a new Snow Park with designated fun, cross and freestyle areas. Les Houches has is a new 8 man bubble lift from Prarion and the Montenevers train station has been given a revamp.
The lift pass system has been changed. With a Mont Blanc Unlimited pass you now benefit from unlimited access to the top section of the Grand Montets cable car and you can book your place in the Aiguille du Midi cable car for free.
Foot passengers have not been forgotten and can benefit from a new trail in the Grands Montets area from Lognon to Plan Joran that takes about 2 hours there and back. In Brévent/Flégère the existing trail alongside the Libellules piste has been improved and in the Balme area there is a new designated snowshoe area.
Finally there are two themed walks in the Montenvers Mer de Glace area.
