CHILDREN

Megève has the advantage of being a holder of the “Family Plus Montagne” label, the only national quality label recognised by the Ministry of Tourism that promotes resorts providing special facilities and events for families and children.
Entertainment suitable for all ages, prices adapted for all budgets, activities for everyone, whatever their age, to enjoy together or individually, a close at hand medical assistance for those little ‘aches and pains’ and ‘cuts and bruises’, children pampered by our professionals…so many different services, with one sole ambition, to look after the well-being of all the family.
To help us improve our offer and so that Megève comes up to your highest expectations, please answer the ‘satisfaction questionnaire’, which can be obtained from the Tourist office welcome desk.
