Mégevе is not only a commune in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France, but also one of the most popular ski resorts in Europe. Since 1950, this town has been a favourite holiday destination for many tourists who are passionate about winter sports.
Its population is only about 4,000, but every year it welcomes dozens of times more visitors. Unfortunately, there are no museums or monuments here, but there are plenty of ski slopes and runs of varying difficulty.
