NOT IDEAL, BUT GOOD FOR BEGINNERS

Culturally speaking Megeve is not the snowboarder’s ideal resort: it’s a little too sophisticated and middle-aged. On a more practical level, there are still quite a few boarder-unfriendly drag lifts in the area. However there is a Fun Park with a half-pipe on Mont Joux and a boarder-cross course at Rochebrune. For beginners and early intermediate boarders there are plenty of broad, gentle slopes that make learning fairly easy. For more sophisticated riders there are some very good off-piste powder possibilities after a fresh snowfall, especially through the trees.
