Skiing in Megève

You'll have plenty of opportunities to tailor your trip to your ability. However, here's a mini Megève ski guide to give you a snapshot of some of the more popular runs and areas.

Little wooden chalets, tiny hamlets and wide pastures make this a truly scenic resort in which to ski. Megève is ideal for families, with terrain suiting both beginners and intermediates. The main ski area is Mont d’Arbois, where there are several runs. There are wide and confidence-building greens that are ideal for beginners, while the long blues and reds winding through the trees tempt intermediates.

There are also options available for more advanced skiers who want to challenge themselves on tougher gradients. Skilled skiers have easy access to the steepest pistes at Mont Joux and Mont Joly and can get up a good speed down the Women’s World Cup downhill course at Côte 2000.

If you're an expert, you'll love the steep and partly ungroomed mogul slopes of Mont Joly. The Grand Chamois begins at the top and offers an adrenaline-fuelled black run for advanced adventurers. If you're confident, this could be one to add to the list when you hit Megève's ski slopes.

Insider Tips for Your Megève Ski Holiday

As part of your bespoke stay, we'll provide you with a Megève resort guide who will share local information designed to enhance your experience. However, here are some key tips to help you during your holiday at this illustrious resort.

• It's worth checking the Megève snow report ahead of your ski holiday. Tree-lined slopes are perfect for when the weather isn’t so great.
• Mont d’Arbois is reached by cable car and gondola from Rochebrune or by a choice of two gondolas from the other side of the village.
• There's also the excellent free shuttle bus service which runs every 15-20 minutes. From here, the views of Mont Blanc are breathtaking and the skiing back into Megève is great for cruising.
• You’ll find some thrilling off-piste skiing beneath the Tête de Bonjournal, as well as the runs down from La Torraz into the Val d’Arly.
• The less crowded area (even in high season) of Le Jaillet has lots of good runs and beautiful scenery.
• Mainly red runs take you back into the village.
• A six-seater chair takes you to the top of Le Christomet, where you can access the ski area at La Giettaz.
• There are two snowparks – one in Rochebrune and another between Mont Joux and Mont d’Arbois.

Dining information

• Head for Rochebrune for some exceptional dining experiences – Flocons de Sel and L’Alpette are among the best Alpine restaurants in Europe.
