MEGÈVE | 1050 - 2350 m                    Evasion Mont Blanc
Megève is one of the oldest ski resorts in the French Alps to successfully transpose the tradition of French "chic" into mountain life. If you decide to give it a try, you will discover a resort where the password is still "the art of living;" where nothing ever seems to disturb the delicately carved wooden chalets, and where the "after-ski" concept has come fully into its own.
 
Finally, from December to April, Megève presents you with an attractive, vast and varied skiable domain of medium-altitude mountains. In a word, Megève is one of the rare French resorts that has successfully managed to translate into the present the best charms of the past. Megève ski resort special negotiated prices
