Megève Ski Resort
Megève is a high-end resort located right at the heart of a vast ski area and is overlooked by the towering Mont Blanc Massif.
Megève developed as a tourist resort in the 1920s and has gone from strength to strength ever since, whilst still retaining its traditional core and high end feel. A lot of accommodation is provided by smart hotels, but don’t let this put you off as there are also options to suit most budgets.
The skiing is split into three main sectors, all of which are easily accessible from the edges of town – with a decent bus service linking the respective base stations. The slopes at Le Jaillet are generally quieter, especially if you head all the way across to La Giettaz, Mont d’Arbois is the main hub and has the link to the slopes above St Gervais, whilst Rochebrune has another pleasant pod of tree-lined slopes. If you’re an adventurous skier or boarder, purchase the Evasion Mont Blanc ski pass to also ski at Les Contamines or the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass to get you access to nearby Chamonix and Courmayeur over in Italy.
What's New for 2019/20?
Megève's additions for the 2019/20 season are focused on hotel accommodation. The Soleil d'Or, a hotel that has stood at the centre of Megève for 120 years, has undergone a major renovation to all its rooms and public spaces. As a result of the renovations the hotel now has a 5* rating. In addition, Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois has undergone renovations costing more than €10 million. The hotel now features a swimming pool, sauna, hammam, hot tub and the Michelin-starred restaurant Prima.
