Ski Equipment
We have negotiated special prices for our guests at three local ski equipment shops.
As a rough guide, a set of adult skis and boots would cost between 100-160 Euros for a week, depending on quality.
For Children, budget 60-110 Euros.
Ski Passes
Megeve has one of the lowest priced ski pass of any major resort - some 25% less than most other comparable ski areas.
NEW FOR 2012: If you buy a ski pass for 6 days or more for use between January 8th and February 4th and from March 11th to the end of the season,
you can take advantage of unlimited access to the Palais des Sports (swimming pool, ice rink, gym, table tennis and Media Library).

Ski Schools

For the Sylvana/Clochettes book private lessons departing from Rochebrune and group or private lessons from the Caboche
