Montgenevre is not the resort to pick if you are looking for a buzzing nightlife – you’d be better off in a resort like Les Deux Alpes or – if you want to ski the Milky Way area – pick lively Sauze d’Oulx across the border in Italy. This is a family-friendly resort with a dozen bars and restaurants and where apres-ski does not predominate. Le Graal Café is, according to a reporter, ‘where all the young people go’, and La Ca del Sol (+33 492 20 53 11) is another resort meeting place. La Tournmente is a cocktail bar open until 2am, with themed nights and serving tapas. Ucintu is a pizzeria/bar with music. Serre Chevalier and Briancon are 15 minutes’ drive and offer yet more nightlife, bars and restaurants.
