Megève - Skiing

Megève is the French ski resort that boasts top shops, expensive restaurants and a charming atmosphere with its narrow streets, medieval tower, old church and elegant shops. The skiing at Megève itself is not the greatest but the town is linked with the ski areas of nearby towns of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, St Nicolas de Véroce and Combloux giving skiers the choice of more than 160km of trails. Because of its low elevation, snow can be a problem in dry winters but this low elevation can be a blessing in winters with plenty of snow because temperatures are a lot balmier at this altitude.
