Megeve is located between the cosy ski resort of La Clusaz and the well-known ski slopes at Chamonix. It is a very nice ski resort that has managed to retain the genuine French feel and atmosphere. However, it is quite expensive compared to the other nearby ski resorts. There are around 180 slopes and over 80 lifts to use. The highest point is 2,1148,3 feet and you get a drop of 1,777,6 feet.
There are several ski passes to choose from when skiing in Megeve, including one that gives you access to both Megeve and the ski systems in Chamonix, EVASION Mont Blanc, Courmayeur in Italy and Verbier in Switzerland. In other words, Megeve can serve as an excellent base or starting point for further excursions to really good ski slopes in the area, at least as long as you have a decent car to get around with.
