 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone.
We are planning our first ski holiday in Montgenevre. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children (12,10, 7). We would be having group lessons with a ski school every morning (adults and children). Would you recommend February half term or the first week of Easter holidays (w/c 6th of April)? We would stay at catered chalet in February and would go by train from UK. Easter holidays would be easier as we could fly and would have an options of catered chalet or Napoleon self catering? The cost is lower during Easter but I am worried about the snow.
Any recommendations/advice welcome. Thank you!

Easter. Half term holidays are very busy in French ski resorts.
You'll just have to cross your fingers over the snow - no one can predict what it will be like at any point in the season.
Out of interest, what route would you take if going by train?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

With Easter being so late in 2025 I doubt if Montgenevre will be open.

Thank you for your advice. It would be good to avoid the busiest time in French Ski Resorts. Unfortunately we can only go during uk school holidays. The train route was mentioned somewhere in this forum. St Pancreas International-Gare Du Nord-Underground to Gor Du Leon. Gor Du Leon -Oulx.

We would go from the 5th to 12th of April 2025 which is the first week of our school Easter holidays. So it will be before Easter which I think is on the 20th next year. Do you think it is late to ski in Montgenevre?
I think the links to Italy and Chalvet side will be closed but I don't know how important it is for us as beginners?

It was open until 20th April this season so OP should be fine given their dates.
As others have said it's always a punt at that time of the year but as a regular "Easter" goer I wouldn't sweat it as a beginner doing lessons. And it's much preferable from many other aspects.

That would be a lot of changes by train with your luggage & 3 kids. Backs up Easter & flying as the better option.
