A celebRAtion<br />
in its honouR<br />
The sports club is organising a<br />
great celebration this year to mark<br />
the eightieth anniversary of the<br />
creation of the association. Thus, on<br />
tuesday 20th december the<br />
resort, and in particular the village<br />
square will come alive to a<br />
programme of festivities concocted<br />
by all the club’s members. The aim<br />
of the event is to honour the<br />
managers, coaches, members and<br />
all the top-level sportsmen and<br />
women who have been trained<br />
there. an event that holds many<br />
surprises in store.<br />
is 80!<br />
The birth of the Sports club dates back to the beginning of the 1920s.<br />
At that time, Megève was just starting its development as a great ski and<br />
tourist resort. A handful of keen sportsmen and women decided to create an<br />
organisation called the “Megève Sports club”, gaining membership of the<br />
French Winter Sports and Skiing Federations and therefore able to organise<br />
sporting competitions. Then, on the 17th July 1931, the association made a first<br />
declaration at the sub-prefecture of Bonneville. Its objective was to promote the<br />
practice and development of physical and sports education, and also military<br />
preparation, particularly for Megève’s youngsters. As a coach, competition<br />
organiser and events partner, the Sports club was then to experience a fabulous<br />
development, based around winter and summer sports. This old, local institution<br />
well deserves a beautiful homage.<br />

perhaps you have already run into them on megève’s skiing<br />
area or maybe they have already given you their precious<br />
assistance. They are the ambassadors; a team of 50 volunteers<br />
that was established in 2000, and present in all the resort’s<br />
strategic points. armed with kindness and a sense of<br />
humour they inform, guide and advise skiers about<br />
the quality of the snow cover and the different events and<br />
entertainment that create a certain rhythm, highlighting the<br />
season. attentive to even the slightest details, they help to<br />
make your day’s skiing even more pleasurable.<br />
