Worked in Montgenevre in winter ‘97/‘98.....18years old.... wow! A lifetime ago! Worked in Hotel Rafale next to Cadesol Restaurant and the “Blu Nuit” nightclub 😂 Spent many a night in there!! Amazing resort! We used to walk into Claviere, Italy to get a newspaper because Claviere sold “today’s” newspapers but Montgenevre’s papers were 3 days behind!! 🙈🤣 Occasionally the bus drivers who brought the guests would drive us to Briancon just so we could escape for the day. Again, great video and thanks for bringing back some amazing memories!!!!
I lived in Montgenevre Winter 2011-2012. I worked hard in a hotel - Les Rois Mages (Waitressing, Cleaning). Didn't speak a word of Italian or French - which made bar work stressful! Got ripped off by the British Employer (RocketSki) But I love love LOVED the skiing - which improved a lot. The nightlife was pretty terrible in those days - there was one nightclub called Les Chaberton. But it was a family resort.
Love this video..!! Well put together Ben, We are traveling to Sauze d'oulx in March 2020, So hopefully we can ski over to this wonderful place. it looks Awesome..!!

Yes they were not known for looking after their staff. It is a short sited business strategy. They haven't survived here.
