Megève is a small village of about 3,000 inhabitants, nestled at an altitude of over 1,000 metres in the Haute Savoie department, in the heart of Mont Blanc.
The village especially enchants lovers of mountains and outdoor activities, winning them over with its unforgettable landscapes, its 400 kilometres of ski area and its panoramic views of Mont Blanc.
It is the perfect place both for the classic winter skiing week in winter and for a summer holiday of walking and hiking at altitude.
Moreover, the small village warmly welcomes visitors: a charming town centre awaits them, characterised by a paved pedestrian zone, a cosy square, rustic streets, cosy chalets, renowned restaurants and luxury shops.
Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, the village of Megève is home to one of the world’s most coveted and fascinating ski resorts .
This privileged and luxurious tourist destination enchants mountain enthusiasts who come from all over Europe to enjoy outdoor activities of all kinds, from experts to beginners who book courses to learn winter sports.
The Megève ski area, with its 400 km of pistes, is divided into 2 large zones.
The first is accessible from the town centre and comprises 4 areas: Caboche, Mont-d’Arbois, Cote 2000 and Saint-Gervais, which join together to offer several hundred kilometres of slopes. We recommend leaving your car in the free Princesse car park in the town centre: leave early in the morning to enjoy the immaculate slopes. A unique experience is to admire the views of Mont Blanc using the Mont-Joux chairlift.
The second area includes Combloux and Jaillet. These 2 areas, facing south, will offer you exceptional views of the Megève valley. A more family-oriented and less frequented environment, it offers numerous mountain restaurants with authentic charm and unspoilt slopes passing through enchanting wooded areas.
For those planning to stay several days, the purchase of a ski pass is recommended. To take advantage of a 30% reduction, we suggest that you buy your ski pass by the end of November and book your lessons well in advance, starting in October, in order to find availability and grab the best times.
An unmissable outdoor activity to do in Megève in winter is snowshoeing. You can take several family itineraries in the heart of the village or at altitude that will let you discover a different way of getting in touch with nature: the silence, the sound of snow under your feet, the off-the-beaten-track views, the thrill of seeing an unspoilt landscape.
From the Christomet crests, which can be reached by chairlift, to the paths of the Montjoie valley, populated by chamois and ibexes, from the Sciozier, which crosses meadows and typical farms offering a splendid view of Megève, Mont d’Arbois and Mont Blanc, to the slopes of Mont Joly, traversed by shy roe deer that leave their footprints in the snow, not forgetting the excursion to Mont du Villard.
There is also the possibility of night-time outings, following the indications of an expert guide.
Solitary mountain lovers, with good preparation behind them, can devote themselves to ski mountaineering. Located in the Mont d’Arbois sector, the Rand’Arbois route allows you to learn the basic techniques and is suitable for beginners.
Experts, on the other hand, can try their hand at a more sporty ascent in the Rochebrune sector, the Rando Roche itinerary. On the Portes du Mont Blanc side, 12 ski mountaineering routes are available.
A natural destination par excellence, Megève is also perfect for cross-country skiers, far from the crowds and the slopes beaten by avid skiers.
The valley offers almost 40 km of tracks, with various routes between fir trees and sunny plateaus: you are sure to find the itinerary suited to your level of preparation, whether you are just starting out in this sport or technical circuits suitable for the more experienced.
After its appearance in the 1990s, snowboarding aroused a strong following, creating a fashion effect that today attracts mainly young and reckless tourists, a discipline so popular and widespread that it has become an Olympic speciality.
The Megève ski resort has dedicated no less than 7 snowpark and boardercross areas, where you can surf the snow in total safety.
A unique experience to try in Megève is an excursion with sled dogs: facing the Mont Blanc massif, you can whizz through the wonderful snowy landscapes that seem to have come straight out of the pages of a storybook.
Experienced guides will take you to the edge of the mountains, exploring unspoilt wilderness. Two itineraries are normally proposed. The one to Mont du Villard, a solitary and silent corner of the valley, uncrowded, far from the ski lifts, offering peace and serenity in front of Mont Blanc.
Equally enchanting is the route to the Plateau du Mont d’Arbois, which offers a dreamlike setting, a magical and unforgettable place.

More technically accessible than climbing, and less demanding than mountaineering, the via ferrata is an excellent way to experience and practise the high mountains.
There are several in Megève, from the Fayet thermal park via ferrata to the Curalla via ferrata in Passy, with very aerial passages and impressive obstacles, recommended only for those who do not suffer from vertigo.
Horse-riding on hiking trails is a super-fun activity that allows you to ride through magnificent mountain scenery.
Mont Joly in particular lends itself perfectly to this equestrian riding excursion: the marked trails are numerous and you will benefit from relative tranquillity as they are, even in summer, relatively uncrowded.
In the mountains, mountain biking very often equates to downhill biking, an adrenalin-fuelled practice for experts only.
Those who practice this sport can use the ski lifts to quickly reach the top, then descend down rocky slopes at full speed and finally start again. We recommend the Mont d’Arbois cable car, one of the best places in Haute Savoie to practice this sport.
