The French ski resort of Megève will this year join the Mont Blanc Unlimited Ski Pass

The French ski resort of Megève will this year join the Mont Blanc Unlimited Ski Pass — giving skiers and snowboarders access to nearly 1,000km of skiing in three different countries.

The Mont Blanc Unlimited Ski Pass covers 998km of skiing in Chamonix (unlimited), Verbier (50% off the price of one day pass each week), Courmayeur (unlimited), Les Contamines and St Gervais (both unlimted), as well as many different excursions and activities within the resorts — such as a visit to the cinema in Chamonix.

The pass costs €293 (£210) for six days for adults, reduced to €249.10 (£179) for children aged four to 15 and adults between 65 and 74. Veteran passes (for over 75s) cost €146.50 (£105) for six days, and a family pass for two adults and one child cost €835.10 (£600).

The collaboration has come about after Compagnie du Mont-Blanc, which owns and operates the lift system in Chamonix, bought a majority stake in the Megève lift system.

Compagnie du Mont Blanc stated in a press release: “[We are] proud to announce officially the acquisition of a majority shareholding in the company managing the Megève – Mont d’Arbois ski lift system (SRMM). Megève town council and the Rothschild group, both historic partners in the latter company, remain as important shareholders.”
