Today is the busiest it has been so far with only 40 spaces showing as available which must mean that there are vans. After the snow it was incredibly windy, with the new snow blowing everywhere. It was like a comedy sketch on the plateau at the top of the Thibaud chairlift, with skiers trying to propel themselves forwards while the wind tried to push us backwards. We do celebrate birthdays — in a slightly understated way — so we treated ourselves to both a morning coffee and lunch at restaurants on the slopes. The sun might not be great for the snow but it is making it possible to sit outside and lazily soak up the warmth. The aire in Montegenvre is on the Italian side of the town, just above the Tremplin and Thibaud lifts. Walk down as if you are going to the exit of the aire, just before the barrier there is well trodden path down the slope to the left, cross the road and the car park on the other side of the road and you will then be able to walk up to the Blue Pharo run. Skiing back is best done by coming down the Pharo run and heading off left before the bridge, stopping to cross the road above the aire. The walk into the nearest end of town takes about 5 minutes — there is a path on the right hand side of the road, but we often found it very icy. The main lift pass office and tourist office is here and you can book lessons if you wish. There are a few supermarkets — Cocci is the closest but there is also a Spar and Sherpa. A bread van comes to the entrance of the aire every morning at 8am. You can even text and order your croissants the day before. The aire has the usual water and waste facilities, including a drive over waste, and the price includes 10A electricity we did manage to trip it when we ran our kettle and electric heater together, but we eventually realised you can reset the trips yourself even on the more modern electricity points — they look locked but they arent. Prices are best explained with a photo. The machine takes cards, notes and coins, and gives change. For whatever reason none of our cards worked in the machine when we tried to pay, luckily we had cash on us, otherwise it would have been a walk into town. Quick Update — We managed to pay by card the second time around. Montgenevre village is laid out along the main road, with many shops, cafes, bakeries and restaurants opposite the slopes. There is a spa and swimming pool Durancia at the furthest end of town from the aire. From Montgenevre you can get tickets to cover three areas, either the local area, the local area plus the Monts de la Luna, or the whole Via Lattea. The local area can be split into three parts, Chalvet is behind the village and best reached using the Thibaud lift if starting from the aire. Gondrans is opposite the village take the Tremplin lift and the final part is on the Italian side of the mountain above Claviere. Each has a good variety of runs, we particularly liked the reds and blues in the open bowl at the top of Gondrans, the short steep ish reds at the top of the Serra Granet lift and the pleasant cruising blues of Chalvet. If you want to go the Claviere area then you either need to go over the top of the mountain from Gondrans and down a red not too steep or black. Or you need to pole along a long green run. There are loads of restaurants on the Claviere side of the mountain after all it is Italy and the food is as or maybe more important as the skiing. There are a few ok runs at the top, but the long blue path from the middle to the bottom of the mountain is quite boring. Although you can get credit card style contactless passes, they are usually only issued for multi day tickets. The daily or four hour tickets are just cardboard, but still contactless. There are no special offers for the weekend. The tourist office provides a booklet with suggested snowshoe trails on or near the pistes, and you can get walkers lift passes. Then you can cross the river and walk back down the other side of the valley. Your email address will not be published.

My guess is only a fraction. Remember the old adage, big is not always better? We all want more for our money whilst not compromising on quality. Its location on the pass means huge dumps of snow scooped up as precipitation in the south and north give the area an enviable snow record. What about the mountains? The village is at 1,m, the top lift 2,m. The skiing divides into three sectors. First off the south-facing Le Chalvet, two lifts whizzing you up from the centre of the village. Open reds, easily ridden by competent intermediates swoop joyfully down to midpoint. Where better for my invariable The clue is in the name, a wide sunny affair with comfy sofas dotted around…easy to sink into, not so easy to get out of. A perfect Italian espresso with not one, not two, but five! Lie back in the sun and reflect on your excellent choice. Later in the morning the sun will have warmed the opposing side of the valley. Head for Les Gondrans with its very different vibe. There are choices from here, each guaranteed to raise a smile. Blues, reds, and endless off-piste delights. Moving on. A long and slow chair transports you over terrain untouched by humans but imprinted hither and thither with the tracks of foxes and alpine hares. Both are achievable by confident intermediates…in the right conditions. Most accommodation is on the sunny south-facing side of the valley, centred around ancient streets and alleys, with an obligatory old church and spire. Bars and restaurants sit shoulder-to-shoulder along what could easily be the sea-front, except its snow. The last few years have seen the development of some swish family-orientated upmarket apartments, each with shops, swimming pool, sauna, and ski hire, close to the slopes. I stayed in the Le Hameau des Airelles, only 16 steps from my front door to the ski lift. A few more steps down was Le Chalet des Gourmandises, the morning essential stop for fresh, warm croissants. Across the road, Intersport provided top-of-the-range skis and boots. Like all good neighbours they get along famously, swopping recipes, intermarrying, sharing mountains and slopes. You can choose to stay within a local sector or buy a lift pass for all. Top Tip: find your ski legs in Montgenevre, then venture further afield. Time for some cross-border action. Even more fantastic is the name of the sector, Monti de la Luna. It was here I had one of the most memorable runs of my life, not on a steep black, or some narrow couloir, but a simple green. From the Colla Bercia m to Cesana m, piste 90 numbers not names in Italy meandered down a farm track overhung with branches heavy with snow, forming an ice-tunnel, dappled shadows contrasting with shafts of piercing sunlight. I slowly snow-ploughed the more to prolong my enjoyment of the moment, the place, and my senses. To finish, back at the top lift, the rickety old hostel Baita della Luna served awful burgers, but wonderful homemade Zuppa de Ceci con bruschetta Chickpea soup with bruscetta. Love France?
