Best time to ski in Megeve
While Megève doesn't boast masses of elevation, snow cannons keep the ski slopes blanketed in pearly white stuff from mid-December to mid-April.
Popular with the locals at the weekends, make the most of the weekdays for quiet, uncrowded pistes with fewer queues. It can also get busy during the school holidays, but you can enjoy peaceful, unhurried cruising outside the peak times. Bliss!
Want to treat the family to a spectacular Christmas? Megève transforms into a magical wonderland in December. A giant tree sparkles with a thousand lights in the square, and the icy air is awash with festive melodies. Joyeux Noel!
Things to do in Megeve
From fine gourmet dining at Michelin-starred restaurants to sipping Champagne in cosy hotel bars, the après scene in Megève is oh-so-chic. Tap your feet to live bands at Club de Jazz Les Cinq Rues, the oldest jazz club outside of Paris. Or party on the piste to live DJs at the La Folie Douce - book a VIP ticket for the best tables in the house!
During the day, there's some seriously dapper retail therapy, and luxury spas for blissful relaxation. Big kids and families will love racing down the 3km toboggan run through snowy forests and Ski Joëring - skiing behind a horse - through pristine snowy meadows.
