Évasion Mont-Blanc

Évasion Mont-Blanc is a lift-linked ski area on the south side of the Mont Blanc massif in the Haute-Savoie, joining Megève, Saint-Gervais, Combloux, and Les Contamines (along with several smaller bases). 445 km of pistes from a base of 1,000 m to 2,350 m at Mont Joux/Mont d'Arbois. Views of the Mont Blanc massif from the upper lifts are the area's best-known asset; terrain favours strong intermediates and is gentler than Espace Killy or the Tarentaise majors.
