Megève and Saint-Gervais share 263 kilometres of piste and 232 runs, dropping 1,503 metres from the 2,353-metre high point to an 850-metre valley floor. The grading is 37% beginner, 51% intermediate and 12% advanced, with nothing rated expert. Skiing falls into three main sectors: Rochebrune with Côte 2000, Mont d'Arbois running across to Saint-Gervais, and Le Jaillet towards Combloux. Long, groomed reds through the trees are the staple here. Gondolas and six-seaters carry the main traffic, while T-bars, 42 of them, serve the outer slopes.

Mont d'Arbois is the largest and most varied sector, with long reds looking across to Mont Blanc and blacks such as Princesse. The higher pitches on Mont Joly above Saint-Gervais are longer and steeper, and the Chamois black is the sharper test. Off-piste lines run through open fields and between the trees from Mont Joly towards Saint-Nicolas, best skied with a guide. From Jaillet, a six-seat chair to Christomet opens the link to La Giettaz. This is intermediate mileage country, good for families, while advanced skiers will find few pistes to challenge them and lower slopes lean on snowmaking.

The 2025-26 season runs from 6 December 2025 (partial opening Côte 2000 and Mont d'Arbois) to 6 April 2026 for Megève sectors, with Rochebrune and Mont d'Arbois closing simultaneously. Saint-Gervais operates the same window, though upper lifts may extend through Easter depending on cover. Typical seasons span mid-December to early April, with Côte 2000's higher elevation occasionally holding snow into late April. Full terrain opening typically occurs by Christmas week.

Annual snowfall averages 321 to 331 centimetres, supplemented by 650 snow cannons covering approximately 15 per cent of marked runs. Base elevations between 850 and 1,113 metres make the domain vulnerable during warm spells, particularly March onwards when lower runs require artificial support. Summit zones above 2,000 metres maintain more consistent coverage. January and February deliver the most reliable natural accumulation.

Peak powder months run January through mid-February, avoiding February half-term crowds (8 to 22 February typically). Early December offers uncrowded slopes but limited terrain access. March provides spring conditions with extended daylight and warmer temperatures, though base runs often close by afternoon. Post-Easter skiing concentrates on Côte 2000 north-facing aspects.

The calendar includes traditional markets each Friday in Megève village. Night skiing operates periodically on select runs. Folie Douce après-ski runs daily from 14:00 atop Mont Joux. No major competitions anchor the season. Horse-drawn sleighs transport skiers between Megève centre and Jaillet base during daylight hours.
