Megève Ski Passes

Megève is the kind of place that feels as good to wander through on foot as it does to ski, which makes it particularly well-suited to groups with mixed ambitions.

This is a resort with a character all of its own. While plenty of Alpine resorts lean into the purpose-built, high-altitude aesthetic, Megève offers something altogether more elegant: a genuinely beautiful medieval village at its heart, timber-framed chalets lining cobbled streets, and slopes that wind through pine forests with Mont Blanc looming magnificently in the background.

The skiing itself spans a substantial network of interconnected runs - roughly 400km across the full area - and it leans comfortably into intermediate and family-friendly territory. The gradients are largely cruisey, the scenery is outstanding, and the mountain restaurants are, as you'd expect from Megève, rather good. For those who like to understand the geography before clicking into their bindings, the resort is spread across three main massifs: Rochebrune, Mont d'Arbois, and Le Jaillet. Each has its own character, and moving between them is part of the daily rhythm.

Getting around on the ground is straightforward. The free Meg Bus shuttle service connects the village to the various gondola base stations, so you won't need a car to access the different sectors. It runs regularly throughout the day, making it easy to hop between the massifs or simply get back to your chalet without the fuss of driving.

Types of ski passes in Megève

Megève offers a good degree of flexibility when choosing your pass, and it's worth taking a moment to think about what you actually want from the week before buying.

The headline choice is between the Portes du Mont-Blanc pass and the Evasion Mont-Blanc pass. The former focuses on a smaller slice of the domain - primarily the Le Jaillet massif, plus Combloux and La Giettaz - while the latter opens up the full interconnected network across several resorts. For most visitors staying a week, the Evasion pass tends to make more sense, but if your group is happy to stay local or you're on a tighter budget, the Portes du Mont-Blanc is perfectly sufficient for a very enjoyable holiday.

Evasion Mont-Blanc Pass
This is the go-to pass for most visitors, and for good reason. It covers Megève, Saint-Gervais, Les Contamines, Combloux, and La Giettaz, giving you access to over 450km of runs across a beautifully linked network of resorts. For anyone staying a week and wanting proper variety - different aspects, different villages, different mountain restaurants - this is the pass to go for. The terrain within the Evasion area suits a wide range of abilities, and the lifts between resorts are efficient enough that moving around doesn't eat into your skiing time.

Portes du Mont-Blanc Pass
A more pared-back option that focuses on the Le Jaillet side of Megève, plus Combloux and La Giettaz. The domain here covers around 100km of pistes - still a very decent amount of skiing - and the atmosphere on this side of the valley tends to be a little quieter. It's a smart choice for families with younger children, or for those who'd rather stay close to one area and ski it thoroughly rather than spending time traversing the whole domain. The price point is more accessible too, which matters if you're kitting out several people.

Mont-Blanc Unlimited (MBU)
The MBU is the full-fat version. On top of everything included in the Evasion pass, you get access to the Chamonix Valley, the iconic Aiguille du Midi cable car, and - if you're feeling ambitious - resorts across the border in both Italy (Courmayeur) and Switzerland (Verbier). It's a genuinely extraordinary pass for those who want to make the most of the wider Mont-Blanc massif, and it's particularly good value if you have a car and the appetite for a proper tour of the Alps. Bear in mind that taking full advantage of it does require a bit of planning and some longer drives, so it suits the more adventurous or experienced skier who knows what they want from the week.

Beginner & Pedestrian Passes
If someone in your group is just finding their ski legs, Megève offers ‘first turns’ tickets at a lower price - usually in the region of €25-€30 per day - covering access to the nursery lifts only. There's no point in paying full price when you'll be spending your mornings on the beginner slopes, and the resort sensibly caters for this. Pedestrian passes are also available for those who want the mountain experience without the skiing: perfect for grandparents, non-skiing partners, or anyone who simply fancies lunch above the treeline.
