Megeve has a charm and atmosphere quite unlike any other alpine resort. The Evasion Mt Blanc ski area is quiet, vast and beautiful, (not unlike many North American ski areas).

The advanced skier will relish the challenges at 'cote 2000', and for the expert there is easily accessible backcountry and a great area for freeride and steeps on Mont Joly. These are just a snippet of what's actually available, for everyone the panoramic scenery of Mt Blanc and the evasion area is simply breathtaking, as are the renowned gastronomic delights of the restaurants of Megeve.
