Megève, the capital of mountain living, belongs to the prestigious Best of the Alps group. This village in the Savoy Alps is covered in snow in winter, with snow conditions considered among the best in the Savoy Alps. The ski resort lies against the backdrop of Mont Blanc, among the famous mountains of Mont d'Arbois, Rochebrune, Côte 2000-Mont Joly and Le Jaillet. The ski resort includes the villages of Megève, Saint-Gervais, Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce, Combloux and La Giettaz.

Megève Saint-Gervais has slopes for all ability levels. Most of the slopes around Megève run through the wooded hills and meadows of Alma. From Rochebrune to Côte 2000, all the slopes pass through wooded hills. From Mont d'Arbois to Megève and Saint-Gervais, they also run through the forest. Mont Blanc is always visible between Mont d'Arbois and Mont Joly. If you ski the slopes from Mont Joly towards Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce, you can get very close to Mont Blanc.

What visitors say about the resort

Megève is praised for its atmosphere: a genuine Savoyard village with cobbled streets, horse-drawn carriages and some of the best restaurants in the French Alps. The skiing is gentle and wooded, with views of Mont Blanc - people come here for relaxation rather than sport.

It is criticised for its elevation: the base is at 1100 m, and in warm winters the resort relies on snow cannons. Prices are the other drawback: both accommodation and restaurants are noticeably more expensive than average. Confident skiers will find little challenging terrain.
