Margériaz The realm of natural snow

Sheltered by a cirque-shaped landscape and benefiting from a north-facing aspect, the Margériaz ski area (Aillons-Margériaz 1400) preserves its snow like a treasure. Thanks to the care taken by the snow groomers and the vigilance of the piste patrol, the runs remain beautiful and well-groomed, even when other resorts are starting to run out of snow.
When we show people the photos, we’re often asked:“Is that really where you live?” Yes, it really is. And the snow is still there when you can no longer ski elsewhere at the same altitude.

We had a brilliant day yesterday skiing at Margériaz. Thank you to the teams on site for all their hard work, which means we can enjoy a lovely snow-covered area so close to home! Don’t change a thing – or better still, make it even better!
