Worth knowing. The lowest altitude of anywhere at this price.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank

Is it worth it from Manchester?
A week here works out 21% above the median for the 94 resorts we rank from Manchester, and it comes 83th on value.
At 4.9 hours each way this is short enough to be worth doing over a weekend, not just as a full week — which is unusual and is most of the reason to pick it over somewhere further.
For what it is worth, Megève is cheapest to reach from Zurich, at about £1,163 — roughly £228 less than from Manchester.
