Beginners

There are a good choice of nursery slopes in the Evasion domaine - in Megeve at valley level and more snow sured ones at altitude on each of the main mountains. There are also plenty of very easy green runs to progress to - particularly in Combloux.

Intermediates

Good intermediates will enjoy the Evasion ski area. The black runs are perfectly manageable and the runs between Mont d'Arbois and Le Bettex are also interesting. The new link in La Giettaz is expected to mean access to steeper slopes there too. It is a great area for the less confident.
