Whether you are looking for exhilarating skiing in a
fabulous resort, or a laid-back luxurious break surrounded by the beautiful
mountains, Megeve could be the perfect place. This stunning village is a true
Alpine gem; just 45 minutes from Geneva, it is an historic village that leapt
to fame when the Rothschild family invested in it, and it became the prime
destination for the French aristocracy. Today, it remains one of the most
famous and exclusive ski resorts in the world.
The centre of the town is dominated by a huge Christmas tree
decorated with Swarovski crystals, which is present all year round, and the
streets are lined with boutiques and champagne bars. The ski area, Domaine Évasion Montblanc,
comprises 445km of slopes of all difficulties, heliskiing and glacier skiing,
as well as a number of cross-country skiing trails, meaning there is plenty to
explore for all abilities.
Off
the mountain, Megeve features some of the more unusual winter sports, such as
snow golf (with orange balls, so they can be found!), the Megeve Polo Masters
tournament played on snow, dog-sledding and the unusual Nordic sport of Skijoring. Not for the faint-hearted, this
sport involves skiers being pulled by a rider-less horse; certainly a spectacle, if not an activity many would sign up for!
This fabulous mountain escape
has something for everyone, and is not to be missed! Call the Elegant Address Ski
