Megève

The chic, old-money heart of the area, a genuine medieval village at around 1,100 m with cobbled streets, smart hotels and good food rather than a purpose-built base. Its sectors — Rochebrune, Mont d'Arbois and Côte 2000 — link into the wider domain, though the low, sunny slopes lean on snowmaking in a mild winter.

  • 1,100 m Village base
  • 2,444 m Top lift
  • 1,624 m Vertical
  • 297 Pistes mapped
  • 133 Lifts

Terrain, lift and aspect figures shown are for the whole Evasion Mont-Blanc — Megève shares the area's linked lift pass. Its own base altitude is shown above.
