What Skiers Say About Megève

Megève attracts a mix of intermediate and advanced skiers, with many families and repeat visitors noting its wide, well-groomed runs and tree-lined slopes. The resort is consistently described as beautiful and expensive, with high-quality but pricey restaurants both on and off the mountain. Snow coverage is a recurring concern due to the lower altitude, particularly later in the season and on lower slopes, though grooming and snowmaking are praised. Lift infrastructure is mixed, with some older, slower lifts and minimal queuing outside French holidays. Après-ski is limited compared to larger French resorts, though La Folie Douce is frequently mentioned. The village is charming but caters to a luxury clientele, affecting overall costs.

Recently returned from Megève with my children and my friend and his family. Stopped outside the town but the busses were efficient although not very regular. The town is beautiful and relaxed. The ski area is great for families and beginners to intermediate. We had perfect weather but the mountains arent the highest so could suffer at warmer, less snowy times.

Very beautiful resort and very family friendly. Easy to access lifts from local Airbnbs and not too busy. Some lifts a little slow and old but its an amazing experience there nevertheless. Would suggest this holiday to anyone looking for a nice family resort.

Megeve is a very beautiful resort, the village is very picturesque and there are many upscale restaurants and bars. lots of very cool mountain restaurants etc. there is also a large sports centre with an ice rink, pool and spa. I recommend a visit to I'deal for lunch, you can go on foot via the mont d arbois telecabin if you are not skiing. quite a bougie resort. very easy access from Geneva.

Great resort for skiers of all levels with wide range of runs. Great cafes and restaurants on the slopes and of course Folie Douche every afternoon.

Snow can be a little hit and miss but been twice in January and there was enough to entertain us on a long weekend.

Megeve centre is very nice but expensive. St Gervais is as nice but much cheaper to stay and has great restaurants and night life.

Overpriced for what it is, town is always very busy with lots going on and majority of people not on the slopes except for at the folie. Close to lots of other resorts giving you lots of options but all pretty low. If theres fresh snow theres a fair bit to do, without fresh snow its a nice family resort with easy wide runs for all levels but take a picnic if you dont want to spend a fortune every day. Juliet side quieter with a few ski tour options too and mountain huts more reasonably priced.

I had an amazing time in Megeve, the last afternoon I spent 1 to 1 with a ski guide and we had an absolute blast. We skied every black in the resort and linked them up with some off-piste runs under some of the chairs. It really pushed my limits which was really rewarding. The Christmas tree was decorated with Swarovski crystal and looked gorgeous. We ate out several times and the options were great if a little on the expensive side. My only slightly negative observation was that some of the runs were more difficult than the grade suggested. Top spot for a high end ski holiday

Have been going to this resort for 9 years now. I discover new slopes every year as the full resort is so expansive and includes les Contamines and St Gervais, so it is brilliant in terms of diversity. Lots of runs of varying difficulties which makes this resort great for all levels and ages.

Beautiful resort, great skiing through the trees with family.
Would return in a a heartbeat.
Eating out can be expensive, both in town and up the mountain - but it's a fashionable resort - you go there knowing that.

Great resort, large ski area combined with Combloux, Saint Gervais and st Nicolas de Veroce.

The place to be seen in France with great restaurants and bars and decent apres ski.

La Folie Douce at 2000m+ is an experience!

Favour peak times to ensure snow coverage.

A very chic French resort full of charm and Michelin star restaurants.
Away from the bling areas are good reasonably priced bars and restaurants.
Skiing is cruising focused, and well linked to neighbouring resorts.
Plenty of tree skiing and a few steeps and off piste to be found.
With travel from Geneva about 1 hour 30 mins an early flight will get you on the slopes by lunch time.
A weeks skiing this area wont be boring.

A quiet resort with excellent snow always as mainly North facing runs and good snow making equipment. Minimal queues, plenty of enclosed lifts useful if weather cold. Runs mainly easy enjoyable skiing, but that might be as there are so few people around. Friendly staff in ski hire, lifts and restaurants. Great availability of picnic areas including indoors at no cost. If weather poor you can get money back on ski pass.
Restaurants mainly pricey but excellent quality food even the non-Michelin star ones! There are cheaper options if you look for it. Advisable to book restaurants in peak periods. Ask for price of wine before drinking as can be expensive even by the glass.
Very easy (60 - 80 minute transfer from Geneva) makes it a good choice for a short break, especially as not an extensive ski area compared with most French resorts. We have been here 10 years running (except 1st post-Covid year) and have never been disappointed.

I had great fun in Megeve. The skiing is great and the lift infrastructure is very good. The pistes are well maintained and the town has a great atmosphere. However, it is an extremely expensive area of the French Alpes and is definitely not for those on a tight budget.

Some of the best runs Ive ever skied. Including great wide green and blue runs which are great for improving technique. The black, blue, and red Princesse runs are by far my favourite. Some fantastic old restaurants completely off the beaten track with stunning views of Mont Blanc. Its a lower altitude resort than some of the big French resorts so check the snow conditions before travelling out. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it. I learnt to ski here as a kid and love to go back as much as possible.

Megève is amazing when there is snowfall. It's important to be up to date with the forecast before heading up to the mountain. The view and après are spectacular, and the village is packed with nightlife.
