Megeve
Megeve is found just south of Sallanches, west of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
Previously an important leather tannery town, Megeve's role as a ski resort was established at the beginning of the 20th century by the Rothschild family.
The town is a pleasant resort all year round. Although there are some minor sites of interest such as the Church of Saint-John the Baptist and the Cross of Saint Michael, and the town also has an attractive medieval centre with ancient houses lining narrow streets, it is as a sports and outdoor activity centre that Megeve is best know today.
At the Museum of the Upper Arly Valley you can learn of the life and history of the village, and peasant life here in centuries gone by.
There are numerous possibilities for skiing, with more than 450 km of pistes close by - all with great views, many of them of Mont Blanc.
Pretty much every other sport is also available, including mountain climbing, balloon trips, mountain climbing, golf in the summer...there are various attractive walks for the less experienced that will help you see the best of the local countryside, such as the Javen Lake - ask at Megeve tourist office.
