At the heart of south-east France’s favoured ski slopes lies Megève ski resort, a chain of lavish, lamp-lit wooden chalets spread across the snow-drenched mountain face. First established in the 1920s, this high-end French ski village captures both a modern and old-timer feel, with cobbled streets linking chic boutiques, excellent restaurants and vibrant bars. Boasting a picturesque location with splendid views of Mont Blanc Massif mountain, Megève is also just a short transfer from Geneva - meaning it's perfect for ski weekends.
While it leans most towards intermediate skiers, all abilities can still find plenty across the Megève ski slopes, all of which can be accessed from the fringes of town via bus. Le Jaillet is the quietest option, whereas Mont d’Arbois is busier, serving as the central portal to the tree-lined slopes above St Gervais with lots of beginner slopes.
If you're in search of more adventure and challenge, you can easily head over to Chamonix. Just a 40-minute drive from Megève, this higher-altitude resort is more snow sure, and offers plenty of challenges for advanced skiers, plus a wide range of other slope activities. Enjoy as much of it as you like with the Mont Blanc Unlimited Pass.
Whether you’d prefer a spacious hotel room to warm the whole family, or something more casual, the Megève ski resort centre encloses a variety of spaces you can call home throughout your stay.
