Have been going to Megeve for over 20 years. Chocolate box resort, with a large and wide varied ski area great for skiers and boarders. Also cross country skiing and snow shoe walking is taken care of.
Plenty of mountain restaurants and bars. Some are typically French cuisine and some more modern with live music or DJs entertaining the younger demographic.
Well pisted groomed slopes for all abilities. Off piste available if the conditions are right. Jump parks and ski cross track.
A relatively quiet resort with little queuing for lifts apart from the usual half term madness in February but even then smaller queues than most and quick to flow.
The resort town/village is growing over most recent years. Lots of investment with plenty of places to eat and drink. Great apres ski bars all over.
If you pick the right places to stay, ski in and out is possible. But if not, the resort is well linked by a free bus service that operates well.

Beautiful place for family holidays and Christmas celebrations. There are different ski lifts and slopes for skiers of all ages. I wouldnt recommend these resorts for snowboarding though.

Ah, the place I spent my childhood on the slopes.
Megeve is an absolutely beautiful town, probably one of the most authentic alpine towns around, with beautiful lights and flowing rivers, and a huge horse & cart in the centre.
As for the skiing, theres plenty on and off piste to be enjoyed, and great tree runs, with tree coverage across most of the mountain.
A trip up to Cote 2000 will give you the most incredible views, and a great selection of runs for both intermediate and advanced skiers alike.
Theres lots of steep mogul runs too.
Racetracks and parks.
The only problem which seems to be getting worse due to climate change is that megeve is fairly low down and has not received much snow in recent years. Infact the mountain has melted already at the time of posting this (18/03/2024).

Simply too expensive but very large ski area offering lots of variety. Apres ski a bit limited and some odd door policies!

Nice ski town, easy transfer from Geneva. Shame we had poor snow, but having been to the area before, I know it is a nice area. Not a big Apre scene, but a few good restaurants and bars. Good selection of runs for all abilities and some easily accessible off piste areas.

Good size resort with lots of different runs. Be prepared to take plenty of button lifts as they seem to be the most common. The apres is okay but not many options. The town is lovely but expensive, but that is widely known.

Very pretty resort with access to the entire Mont Blanc ski area
Pricy town centre if you want to eat out but head out of the Main roads there are some more affordable and great restaurants.
Ski wise the resort is low so snow on the lower slopes can be sparse. Beautiful trails through the trees and stunning views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding areas.

Very big ski area with generally good connections to everywhere on the ski pass, the groomed runs are lovely for skiing and never overly crowded which means they dont get too skid off during the day. Plenty of opportunity for a variety of very fun off piste skiing, from lift lines to open fields to plenty of tree lines, megeve and the surrounding ski areas has it all! Very pretty town, lots of shops and cute little cafes, however, it is a little expensive in the shops as they are tailored to a more luxury clientele base. Despite this, you can definitely get away with spending a week here on a small budget. Much quieter ski area than other resorts in France as not well known by foreign tourists, especially Brits. However, this does mean there is a little less going on especially in the apres scene compared to places such as tignes or Avoriaz. Despite this, there are still plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in megeve and some very nice snack bars to ski to on the mountain (radaz chips and meal deal over at cote 2000, for example).
