Chalet De La Lauze In The Heart Of Montgenèvre, 150 Meters From The Slopes

Montgenèvre sits at 1,860 metres on the Franco-Italian border in the Hautes-Alpes, making it one of the highest and oldest ski resorts in France. The village is the French gateway to the Voie Lactée ski area, a cross-border domain shared with Claviere, Cesana, Sestriere, and Sauze d’Oulx, collectively offering over 400 kilometres of marked runs. The architecture is compact and alpine in character, with stone and timber construction lining the central pedestrian spine.

The village centre is walkable and self-contained. Le Graal and La Vieille Ferme are established dining options on the main street. A weekly market runs in season, and ski hire, ski school, and the ESF operate directly from the village. The Italian border crossing at Claviere is less than two kilometres away, giving easy access to Cesana and the broader Milky Way circuit.

Briançon, the nearest town and the highest city in France, is 12 kilometres away by road, approximately 15 minutes. It has a train station with connections to Gap and Marseille-Saint-Charles. Turin Airport in Italy is roughly 100 kilometres from Montgenèvre, around 90 minutes by car, and serves as the primary international gateway. Grenoble Airport is approximately 160 kilometres to the northwest, around two hours by road.
