In the new Montgenèvre, pedestrians come
first wherever possible. The path along the
“golf front” is being extended in
the Briançon direction.
You can now walk on wooden decking for the full
length of the village, from Italy to the point
where the plain falls away towards
Briançon. Admire the golf course and
stroll on to the swimming pool or the Les
Chalmettes Telemix.
