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.
FAQs
Is there a family discount for Megève ski passes?
Yes. A 10% discount typically applies when you purchase at least four Megève passes simultaneously - the usual combination being two adults and two children. It's worth buying them together to ensure the discount is applied.
Can I get a discount for booking early on my Megève ski pass?
Definitely! Given that Megèvepasses aren't cheap, booking early is an easy way to save. To make things easy, you can add your Megève ski pass to your booking in the ‘Extras’ tab when booking on the Erna Low website.
Are Megève ski passes free for children?
Children under 5 ski free in Megève, but you do still need to collect a hands-free card for them from the ticket office. Bring proof of age (a passport works well), and the card itself costs a small non-refundable fee of around €2.
Do I need to bring a physical photo when collecting my Megève ski pass?
For most standard Megève passes - daily, multi-day, and weekly - no. The process is largely photo-free. Season passes are the exception; they typically require a digital photo upload during online checkout.
