Non-skiing activities in Megève
Megève ski resort has designated activities for non-skiers. We will leave you with three non-ski activities at Megève. The first one is snowbiking, which is practiced when the ski area closes. Instructors are there to help you with some tips so you can have a fun and safe experience.
The second suggestion is tobogganing; there are marked runs with three metres of distance. The great thing about it is that you can do night runs as well, where you get to experience a magical moment.
For the third option, we have dog sledding. Before you begin the voyage, the professionals will introduce you to the dogs, which number around ten, and you will be given instructions on how to control them during the journey.
