The Skiers' Guide to Megève

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.

Great after-ski and slopes. Went with friends, that were all different levels of skiing. And that worked perfectly! Good food and everyone was so friendly. Lovely shops and environment. Can highly recommend.

Megeve is a lower resort! It has the most beautiful village with so many fabulous restaurants on and off piste! Super easy to get to from Geneva! Close to Chamonix. It’s quite bougie! I remember years ago reading it’s popular with Parisians and residents of Monaco! Also popular with middle eastern visitors! Highly recommend this beautiful resort with a fascinating history!

Very pretty with lots to do. The skiing area is decent but you might get bored if there longer than a week. I will definitely return, everyone was friendly and lots of homeowners returning every year. It is a bit fancy, but I like that.

Megève is an absolutely beautiful resort with stunning runs and a gorgeous village atmosphere. The skiing is fantastic, with well-groomed slopes and scenic views that make every run a pleasure. The village itself is charming and lively, full of character and alpine elegance.

Food and drinks are definitely on the more expensive side, but that’s to be expected in a resort like this and honestly, it’s worth it for the quality and experience. Overall, Megève offers a perfect mix of great skiing, luxury, and charm. I loved it and would happily return.

I lived in Megeve for 3 months and was surprised that spring skiing is not bad at all so feel free to go a little later in the season when everything is getting cheaper and you’ll still find some great skiing at the top of the mountain. Regarding restaurants in the mountain I would only really recommend la foile deux so you can party at the mountai. Other than that most mountain side restaurants are very expensive. Finally If cost doesn’t affect you then the best ski in skii out hotel will be the Four Seasons

Brilliant family friendly resort. Quiet slopes if you go out of french term time. Amazing variety of restaurants both on and off the slopes and plenty of other things to do off the slopes as well. Great range of slopes and off piste skiing.

We had a lovely week in Megeve in January. The town is beautiful and there are so many lovely bars and restaurants, but a lot are very expensive! The slopes were lovely and quiet with no ques for lifts the week we visited. We struggled to get our children in for ski school as we didn’t pre book, so I would definitely recommend to pre book any lessons if you need them.

Very boujee place. Family friendly, with a twist of luxury. Incredible places to eat on the slopes and in the village. Hospitality is 5* whereever you go. People are lovely too.

Had a really lovely time. A great really good food places that were well priced but in need of more midrange options or healthy options. Some of the lifts are older style but not too busy, very few lines

Great resort but more for watching not for skiing. Helps if there’s snow and ices over quickly in March in the afternoon

great resort quiet until boxing day then went mad but easy to get to other resorts like chamonix and even into italy to find other slopes will be returning for sure next february

Great resort for beginners and intermediates. End of season has lots of fake and slushy snow especially on piste closer to the village level.
Up the mountains are still good for snow.

Such an amazing resort! Would definitely be back! Slopes were super quiet and we got on rides almost instantaneously.

Beautiful resort, with a real alpine feel! Slopes werent too busy and a good choice of different levels

Two sides to this resort, quite smaller side of Le Jaillet skied by the Genevois. Lots of trees and if you know the mountain we'll, some great mid level off piste.Other side of the mountain is accessible from the village centre lifts and a car park up one of two mountains: Rochbrine and Mont d'Arbois. Most of this is owned by the Rothschilds. French old guard and weekenders from International community /Geneva. Much busier slopes, but better connected and some good off piste at 2000.Food here is amazing, but so are prices. Book for lunch and find the spots where the ski guides /ESF eat for best value
