Car parks at Megeve, closest to the lifts first

Distances are in a straight line to the nearest lift base, not by road. Spaces, price and type are those recorded in OpenStreetMap; where there is no data, we say so.

Is there free parking at Megeve?

Yes: OpenStreetMap marks these as free: Car park by Ascenseur des Thermes, Car park by Rocharbois, Car park by Le Valléen, Car park by Chef-Lieu, Car park by Plateau. Whether a car park is free can change from one season to the next; if there is a barrier or a pay machine, the sign wins.

How much does parking cost at Megeve?

We do not publish tariffs: no open source keeps them up to date, and a figure from memory is exactly the one that is wrong on the day you drive up. In OpenStreetMap none of the 18 car parks at Megeve is marked as paid (12 free, 6 with no data). If they charge, the price is on the resort’s or the town’s website.

How many parking spaces are there at Megeve?

At least 383: that is the sum of the 6 car parks with a recorded capacity in OpenStreetMap. The other 12 have none, so the real total is higher.

Tips for parking at Megeve

• On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays the car parks by the main lifts fill up early: arrive before the lifts open or use the outer car parks and ride the shuttle or gondola.
• If you park at the foot of the slopes, leave the car facing downhill with the handbrake on lightly: in a hard frost the brakes can freeze on.
• Carry snow chains or fit winter tyres: in snow the access road can be closed to cars without them.
• Motorhome and coach parks are separate: overnight stays in car parks are not allowed unless signposted.
• In France, the Loi Montagne requires winter tyres or chains in the boot from 1 November to 31 March in signposted mountain municipalities.

What about going without a car?
