Megeve – Skiing and Guided Ski Tours In The Heart Of The French Alps

How to get to Megeve …but don’t tell anyone!

Megeve is well known by few and is a jealously guarded secret among those that frequent its ski slopes; Michelin Guide rated restaurants, high-end shopping stores, Casino and quaint narrow cobbled streets. The village is dominated the traditional church belfry, by a square all in a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Horse drawn sleighs carry tourists all over during the peak periods adding a festive and memorable experience for young and old.

The ski area is laid out to almost always have the summit of Mt Blanc in view when skiing Megeve ski runs. The runs are cut through the trees a very welcome change to most ski areas in the Alps that are above “tree line”, adding a touch of green to this Haute Savoyard village!
Great skiing for all levels with a particularly pleasing predominance of upper intermediate skiing terrain.

The “Espace Mont Blanc” domain is a whopping 445 Km and with over 111 lifts make Megeve and partner ski areas (la Giettaz, Saint Gervais, Saint Nicolas de Veroce, Combloux, les Contamines Montjoie and Cordon) in the top 6 longest ski able areas in France.

….But don’t tell anyone how nice it is !


If you are flying in to ski the French Alps and Megeve you have the following possibilities. Chambery Airport, Geneva Airport and Grenoble Airport are all approximately one hour’s drive away. This makes Megeve a highly accessible ski destination, area even for a long weekend, from any airport in Paris or the UK.
Leave Paris or the UK at 08:00 and you’re on the pistes by 12:00 noon.
Be aware that the above can vary depending upon traffic and weather conditions.

Driving: From Geneva International Airport you will go to the A40 direction Mont Blanc/Chamonix and turn off at Sallanches and about 17 km direction Albertville, to Megeve.


Driving: In the event of bad weather:
If you drive from Chambery Airport, direction A 41- E712, to Annecy/Geneva/La Roche sur Foron and get on the A40 direction Mont Blanc/Chamonix and turn off at Sallanches and about 17 km direction Albertville, to Megeve.

Good weather alternative:
If you drive from Grenoble Airport: A 41- E712 to the A 430 direction Albertville. Take the N212 at Albertville up the beautiful “Gorges de Arly” to Megeve.
Please note however that this route can be closed due to rock and mud slides and traffic can be a problem!
