Excellent resort, accessible to all with views of Mont Blanc. Lively village with a good selection of shops and restaurants.

Megeve, more specifically Rochebrune, is super familiar ski area with lots of green and blue slopes perfect for the little ones. Unfortunately during mornings it has the mountain shadow and the snow can be quite icy, but as the day goes by it gets only better.

An ideal family resort, the village of Megève looks like it's straight out of a Christmas movie, especially when the snow is falling, with its horse-drawn carriages and clothing shops, each more beautiful than the last. We love strolling around after skiing. Numerous cozy restaurants welcome you with the famous tartiflettes and cheese fondues that are part of the local scene. It's hard to leave Megève once you've experienced it. Long live Megève!

Beginning of our week stay they closed the closest part of the mountain to our hotel and we were able to use the princesses lift for two days on a 30 minute bus in very bad conditions, then 4 days in we arrived at the same chair and went up the mountain to every single run closed, wasting our time and money with their ignorance, any other resort would have even a single run open within an hour of our hotel open but I assume their ignorance can’t let them let us know nothing is open before we spent 20 minutes on a lift just to do nothing. This is the single worst skiing resort I’ve experienced in decades, the town is very nice with good restaurants and facilities but when the sole reason of your trip is to ski and you can’t do that it is just extremely disappointing.

A very large and pleasant resort with plenty of wide pistes, off-piste areas, and fir trees. A festive and joyful atmosphere. Excellent value for money.

Excellent family resort.
All levels welcome, from experts to beginners.
Magical scenery.

A resort I've loved since I was little, close to home. Unfortunately, there wasn't much snow this year, so at 1200m it was difficult to ski everywhere.
But the après-ski is so enjoyable that you forget about the lack of snow. Plus, there are plenty of activities offered in the village and sports center to compensate for the lack of snow and ensure you can still have a great time.
It's perfect for a weekend or a longer holiday.

Charming village, but reserved for a very, very wealthy clientele... Unfortunately, the ski area is very disappointing for good skiers (poor snow cover, 50% of the slopes closed, outdated lifts, no connection between the different areas).
It seems to me that the investments are only focused on the village itself, with no comparison to the major ski areas (3 Valleys, Val d'Isère, etc.). It's a shame, it's clearly underutilized... Personally, I won't be going back.

Beautiful resort. Charming village and lovely, wooded grounds.

Megève is a very pleasant village, retaining its Haute-Savoie charm, but suffering from the increasingly pervasive presence of luxury shops at the expense of cinemas, pharmacies, food shops, and so on. Regarding skiing and snowboarding, the Évasion ski area, of which Megève is a part, is very large, with all kinds of slopes for beginners as well as expert skiers, and some very cool off-piste terrain, provided you know the area. The snowpark is rather limited; there is one of somewhat inconsistent quality from year to year, and there is no longer an airbag. But the main problem now is the lack of snow, with periods of rain and heat severely impacting the area due to its relatively low altitude, between 1100m and 2400m.
