Megève is a famous ski resort in the Alps, dating back to 1913. It started its development in the 1920s when Baroness Maurice de Rothschild opened its first major hotel in 1921, after becoming disenchanted with St. Moritz as a skiing resort. By the 1950s Megève was one of the most popular ski resorts in Europe, and attracted many celebrities. As well as Megève itself, the skiing area also includes the Combloux, Cote 2000, and Les Contamines resorts. The resort has a skiable area of 8 km², and an uppermost point at 2350 m.
In winter you can enjoy downhill skiing as well as cross-country skiing. In summer activities include sightseeing (Mont Blanc Chamonix) or sports such as tennis, golf, walking and climbing.
