The Evasion Mont-Blanc ski pass covers the large area of Saint Gervais, Saint Nicolas de Véroce, Megève and Combloux and also includes the slopes at
Les Contamines-Montjoie and
Les Houches (access by the Mont Blanc Tramway). All areas are easily accessible, for beginners to advanced skiers.
The highest train in France awaits you for a wonderful trip to the foot of Mont Blanc. In winter it takes skiers and walkers to the Bellevue Plateau (1 800 m) and Prarion Ski Area, at the heart of an exceptional panorama.
Other activities include a spa centre, ice rink, indoor swimming pool, snow scooters, snowshoeing, paragliding and cinema.
Apres ski is lively and there is a choice of restaurants and bars, but for a wilder time head up to Megeve.
