This ski area is amazing because it's right by the Italian border so you can cover the French ski…read morearea and then add the Italian side to your ski pass and move over to that side. You got several mountains with slopes. The area is set up that you can ski to the door of your resort or hotel which is super convenient. We opted for one of those and it was a great decision. Ski passes were about 40 euro per day for the complete area for 6 days including insurance. You pay that for a day in a Colorado resort. I don't ski in the United States anymore because it's so expensive and not even as good as any place in Europe. I have been to pretty much anywhere in France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Bulgaria to ski so I know what good skiing is and it's not in overpriced America! Montgenevre is not your party town like tignes, Val thorens etc but small, more quiet and more family friendly. Also very dog friendly.

Extremely customer unfriendly officials at ski lifts Prorel Briancon…read more We are very regularly (twice an year, summer and winter) spending our holidays in this region. Obviously we are usually very happy with the touristic experience there, otherwise we wouldn't come back. But recently in February 2016 we had a pretty unpleasant experience with the officials of the Prorel skilifts. My wife mixed up our ski passes for the day. I had the ski pass of my 6 year old son, while he had my ski pass but had left with ski school already. We got stopped by the official at the valley station Prorel in Briancon. Whatever we said and tried to explained (in French as my wife is French), the guy was not very talkative and handled the situation like a unfriendly police officer who caught somebody speeding. He let us wait at least for 3 quarters of an hour till another official arrived who was similarly talkative. We had to pay a fine of 120 EUR before they would let us go. Both refused to give us their family names nor any official address to follow up on this matter. The next day we tried to follow up anyhow but with zero success. I don't know how these guys are functioning but definitely not very customer friendly. We (the whole family with grandparents and friends) spent in the recent years every winter around 3000 EUR for ski passes and ski school at Prorel station. In this sense we expected at least a possibility to explain our mistake in mixing up our ski passes. But well, as we are always staying in a house not far from Guillestre, I guess we will spend that money in the future in Vars station, which is not further away for us than Briancon.
