Megeve is situated just 1 hour (80km) due south from Geneva, 45 minutes from Chamonix , an hour from Italy via the Mont Blanc Tunnel, and an hour from Lake Annecy, one of France's prettiest lakes.
With Mont Blanc in full view, the medieval town of Megève offers elegance and charm to rival the most prestigious of resorts. Shops, boutiques and cafés line the traffic-free, cobbled streets where “people watching” is a local past time. The 300 kms of piste which form the impressive Evasion ski area is comprised of tree lined slopes, open bowls and bump fields. Your lift pass also covers neighbouring St. Gervais, St. Nicholas and Combloux. The 'Mont d'Arbois' area provides more challenging reds as do the higher black runs on 'Mont Joly'. The main attractions for experts here are the powder and off piste runs. This stylish resort is renowned for its jazz clubs, piano bars and gourmet restaurants. Megeve is home to two of the worlds best mountain restaurants, 'Le Ideal' and La Raviere.
