Skiing in Megève

Beginners: Near village greens served by free carpets make starts painless. Take the Jaillet gondola for mellow blues with valley views once basics are sorted.

Intermediates: Evasion Mont Blanc’s 400 plus kilometres of blues and reds suit cruisers. Best bets: tree-lined reds at Rochebrune and long blues from Mont d’Arbois to St Gervais.

Advanced & off-piste: Head to Mont Joly and Cote 2000 for the area’s steepest pistes. Fresh snow fills the bowls under the Mont Joly lift, hire a guide for safe lines and hidden couloirs.
