Ski area Megève/Saint-Gervais
With 263 kilometres of piste, the ski area of Megève is the largest area in the "Evasion Mont-Blanc" ski region, which offers a total of 468 km of pistes in the areas of Megève, Saint Gervais, Les Contamines and Les Portes du Mont-Blanc. Winter sports enthusiasts will find a very varied area here, where a French ski star grew up: Émile Allais, bronze medallist at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He is one of Megève's most famous sons and the piste of the same name is still dedicated to him today. Recreational skiing on wide pistes predominates in the ski region. The forest passages on Mont d'Arboise and the piste on Rochebrune, for example, are particularly attractive. On cold days, the pistes on the southern slopes of the Jaillet are very popular.
