Megeve Ski Breaks
Megeve
Megeve Ski Breaks: 445km of slopes just 1 hour from Geneva airport!
Megeve is the very embodiment of French Alps chic. The village has a beautiful medieval heart of chocolate box buildings, pedestrianised cobbled streets and horse drawn carriage taxis attracting affluent Parisian guests who stay in the 5 star hotels, socialise in the casino and promenade the smart fashion shops in fur coats in the early evening then retire to the wonderful restaurants.
Underneath this swanky venere is a truly charming ski resort which sits at the bottom of some pretty amazing tree lined slopes, giving breathtaking views of the surrounding Mont Blanc Massif mountain range.
A visit to Megeve is a truly memorable experience for those who love traditional, medieval mountain ski resorts. We have a fantastic collection of short ski breaks to Megeve with excellent value weekend breaks available for the 2018 ski season.

Quotes from "Where to Ski and Snowboard 2013" (Gill & Watts 2013)
"Good intermediates will enjoy the whole area there is so much choice it's difficult to single out any particular section."
"Megeve is also a great area for the less confident. There are long, easy (tree lined) runs in all areas."
"Wonderful views of Mont Blanc from much of the area."
"The possibilities (for excellent mountain restaurants) seem to be almost endless."
The Megeve apres ski scene is the very embodiment of quiet, French sophistication. Forget the loud, alcohol fuelled resorts elsewhere in The Alps and instead imagine a sedate stroll around the beautiful, car free medieval village centre and dropping into relaxed, chic bars for a cocktail and people watching. That's not to say the resort is bereft of life. Certainly the Brit run Kitschen Bar is far livelier, as is The Cocoon where you are likely to be able to watch FA Premier League football or listen to live music dependent on the night. There are also a couple of discos and a casino for you to flutter away all those excess Euros!
However, the overall vibe is one of good food, a few drinks and lots of pleasant chatter about the days ski adventures.
