Megève Reviews & Ratings

Pretty resort, maybe leans a bit more to fashionable activities than purebred ski resort. Had tonnes of snow, which was great but also brought poor visibility on some days. Definitely worth heading higher or lower at the tree line can help.

We were told it was unusually busy, so some waiting periods at the lift, but we’ve had worse. Worth planning lunch as it gets busy, a crepe station is always n nearby but waiting times can be long.

Definitely worth checking out the other areas, Rochebrune because it’s easy to stick to one area if you don’t make the effort. Alternatively, go up the Princesse gondola, and once at the top, do the runs in clockwise order following the sun, a good day out and some truly lovely runs and good distance/time coverage. We stayed in Demi Quarter, lovely chalet, but challenging to get to and from by car - so we walked a lot. It’s not walkable to Megève central village, Uber works but ensure you’ve paid (and captured the subsequent code) to provide to the driver. We lost reception and couldn’t translate or provide the passcode (first time I’ve seen that with uber) - parking at the bottom of Princesse lift is good/free and the lift is reasonably quiet and gets you to a central spot to start your day from. We had some challenges with conditions and the lift didn’t run, which if you’re based in the Demi quarter, makes it difficult to get to the slopes unless you drive to Megève and park. Parking was a bit nuts, due to unseasonably large number of people - but there is a bus running from the casino car park, up to mont d’Arbois lift.

Overall good, had good and bad luck with the snow. Recommend staying in Megève village it you want more access and variety, but Demi quarter is very picturesque albeit more quiet.

Megeve is beautiful. The village, the pistes, the weather - we had a wonderful long weekend in March 2026! Lots of variety of slopes and superb mountain restaurants. We ate at La Fruitiere and Chalet Sauvage which were both excellent for food and entertainment. La Folie Douce delivered, as always, great fun! Accommodation ca be pricey but we stayed in the reasonably priced Hotel Chalet Sylvana near the Rochebrune lift. Excellent location and the friendliest hosts you could ask for. Megeve, we will be back.

Great mixed ability resort with good apres and food scene. Town centre is also very pretty and lovely to walk through bar/restaurant hopping

The resort was fantastic!
In my opinion a minor amount of the pistes labelled blues and greens were very steep for their colour code.
The views on the mountain were gorgeous!
There are lots of areas for beginner/ intermediate skiers/snowboarders. And then a whole area made up mostly of reds and blacks for the more experienced thrill seekers.
Me and my family of all ages abilities and rider types all had an amazing time!

Expensive resort. Mainly reds/blue runs so not great if you’re looking for a more exciting ski. Lift systems could do with covered rides!

Great resort for first timers and also some who have been before. It is an expensive area but you pay for what you get so the quality of restaurants and bars are very good.

First time visiting Megeve. Absolutely amazing slopes. As a beginner my lessons helped improve considerably in just 2 days. Can't wait to go back

Megéve was absolutely amazing! There are some long, winding runs that are incredibly scenic. I took private lessons after skiing for 24 years, and was able to quickly improve my form. It can be a bit challenging to navigate the mountain. Definitely less of a party mountain with chill vibes

Went to Megeve for a second time, at the end of March, and it was incredible. Just being there at a different time of the season provided great variety in the same runs. I love the town centre and with a choice of 3 areas to ski it's never dull.

Lovely little resort just a short transfer from Geneva. Snow at the top really good the week we were there, bit heavy on the legs at the bottom. Good vibe in mountain bars and village, couple of really lovely restaurants. Great wide slopes not too busy. Overall a good family/couples resort.

large area to explore
great variety of runs
went outside of school holidays and the slopes were quieter than any other resort i have been to.
lift system efficient and easy to navigate

Megeve is a beautiful place to celebrate Christmas in charming historical town, it offers a great experience for skiing, family time, but it’s slightly overpriced.

Perfect place for beginners but apres ski places are away from the central so beginners cannot reach out those locations and they close the slopes a bit early.

I was expecting the furs and air of money throughout the town, which there was with designer shops and nearly every menu having the option for caviar or truffle but I was really pleasantly surprised by the resort - with with wide, cruisey groomed reds that were open and quiet. The slopes were spread out in a good way with incredible views from the top of the lifts and a load of fast running fun runs. And the food was incredible throughout - particularly shout out to Super Megeve, some of the best food I’ve had on the slopes.

If you’re used to Val D’Isere or Meribel apres then you may be a little disappointed here. There is a Folie but only really had a vibe 15:00-16:00 and in town we didn’t find any late afternoon apres, more wine bars than full party afternoon pubs - but a few good options for later in the evening.

my favorite place to ski in the alps!
being goin for 3 consecutive years and it’s just perfect
february u.s. the best to go, you get the best snow

A lovely authentic ski resort with classic food on offer in the restaurants like fondue and raclette. It was super easy to get around town and to navigate the bus system if you wanted to ski a little further afield. The slopes were varied and good for all levels of skiier and I had a couple of private lessons for off-piste skiing which were excellent! Amazing off piste skiing and great knowledgeable instructors to guide you. If you’ve been tempted by off piste skiing this is the place to try! I felt there was slightly limited choice on the mountain for lunch but was quite easy to ski to the bottom and then go back up after lunch. I would revisit this resort.

Megeve was a beautiful town to visit, the slopes were very challenging especially for a beginner, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even though I was a really poor skier! Haha. My girlfriend was amazing though! Skiing in Megeve has definitely got me hooked on skiing!

Went in late February, snow was alright but by the end of the day it was pretty churned up and bare patches starting to show. Relaxed vibe at the resort, park was good, lifts were good, resort is expensive to eat and drink at. Even for a ski village

The snow was not amazing while I was there but a lot of work was done overnight so the skiing were good in the morning. It got a bit crowded and icy in the afternoon.

A lesser known French resort with beautiful runs, including some lovely tree lined runs. Great for intermediate skiers, as lots of blues and reds. No where near as busy as most other ski resorts in France. Lots of nice places to eat and drink on the slopes too. Family friendly and some great catered chalets too.
