Where to stay for skiing in Megève: the village, the Princesse, the Val d'Arly or Combloux

Megève is three ski areas: the Jaillet, Rochebrune and the Mont d'Arbois. With Saint-Gervais and Les Contamines, they make up the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, over 400 km of slopes. Where you sleep doesn't change the ski area. It changes your mornings: on foot or by car, parking or not, lively or quiet. Here are the four options, with their real advantages and their limits. We rent out apartments in Combloux, and we say so.
