Ski Holidays in Megève, France
Megève is an old town with a medieval church in the pedestrianised centre. In the 60’s it used to be the height of chic to winter holiday here; not just for the skiing but also for the beau monde with whom you could rub shoulders. Nowadays it is beginning to experience a revival with people looking not just for skiing but atmosphere and ambience, which Megève has in abundance.
The skiing is divided into 3 areas, Mont d’Arbois, Rochbrune and Le Jaillet all of which provide flattering skiing for intermediates and beginners. Advanced skiers need to go off piste to stretch themselves or go to some of the nearby resorts such as Chamonix and Les Contamines. Cross country skiing is popular with routes along the valley. Ski school is good, with 2 ski schools to keep competition and standards high. Childcare is also of a high standard.
Après ski is lively as you would expect from this resort, starting from lunchtime the bars, cafés and restaurants are busy and they do not stop until the early hours.
