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.

Pros and cons
-

-

-
Quick access to Chamonix for day trips to ski steeper terrain
-
Snow can suffer due to the low altitude
-

-
Its easy access mean it can be busy at weekends
On the Slopes
The resort is home to some great beginner facilities, located just above the village at the foot of the Mont d’Arbois gondola. Long greens and gentle blues are then available across the ski area, but the top to bottom green at Rochebrune in particular is very good. Much of the rest of the ski area is ideal for intermediate skiers, with a network of blues and reds linking up to ensure you can cover some serious ground each ski day. For the quietest slopes head towards La Giettaz or down to La Combloux. Note that getting around can be hampered somewhat by a creaking lift system – recent investment has helped but more fast chairs and gondolas are needed.
More advanced skiers and snowboarders may find the challenges limited here and you’ll be waiting for fresh snowfall to head off piste and into the trees. If the snow clouds haven’t delivered then head to Mont Joly above St Gervais or to the Cote 2000 sector for some steeper groomed pistes. Tougher terrain is available at nearby Les Contamines or of course in Chamonix – just make sure you purchase the right lift pass upgrades.
In the Resort
Despite its large size, Megève retains a charming, old core and most of the hotels and chalets have been developed in a tasteful, wooden style. The main street is home to lots of smart shops, some excellent restaurants and bars – many of which do become lively at weekends as people make the most of the short transfer from Geneva.
Up on the hill, there are some fantastic mountain restaurants, although you will need to book in advance during busy weeks at the most popular locations.
Away from the skiing there is a lot to do, with some excellent shopping in town, tobogganing on the hill and winter walking through the valley.
Ski Club Recognised: Environmentally Sustainable Resort
The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Megève has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.
- Megève was accredited in 2020
- Resort governance, ensuring a year-round tourism season and a focus on local cultural and economic products, has drawn particular attention
- The resort transitioned to 100% renewable energy in 2018, marking a key step in an environmentally sustainable future

Updated 22/01
A promising week is in store for the French Alps, as the freezing line prepares to take a long walk off a short pier and plummet to finish off the week, as unsettled weather moves in at the same time. Snowfall already falling over the Alps will therefore being to reach lower slopes over the course of Thursday.
Friday will dawn cold as the freezing line hits 500m, and whilst it will recover over the course of the day it won’t climb too far above 1,500m. Snow will begin with flurries throughout the afternoon, then will continue for much of this forecast period. Around half-a-foot will fall over each of Saturday, Sunday and Monday, before the taps open on Tuesday and around 2ft of snowfall could be expected across higher ground – the freezing line will climb to 2,000m thereby limiting this snowfall across lower slopes, before falling again as Tuesday draws to a close.
This snow will fall on a persistent weak layer avalanche problem that has already caused havoc across the French Alps in previous weeks; expect the avalanche risk to climb considerably over this period. Check your local avalanche forecast and plan off piste and backcountry travel carefully.
