Love - Megève

this activity. Other than the traditional technique called “classic”
where you progress in parallel grooves or tracks cut into the snow,
you can also opt for “skate skiing”, where the skis are in a v
position. Not forgetting Biathlon, a combination of skiing and rifle
shooting. In Megève all the different versions of cross-country
skiing are possible, and on 50 km of trails. The favourite site is
still the livraz, which benefits from a good snow-cover and a wide
variety of trails. Optimum conditions for embarking on exercise
with family or friends!

since the french biathlon team’s victories in bursts in the
vancouver Winter games last year, biathlon has the wind in
its stern. a very complete sport, it is a combination of
physical effort, skill and extreme concentration. moreover,
it is still open to everyone, even children from 7 years. There
are so many reasons to discover this rather atypical sport.
besides, the megève Esf is one of the rare ski schools in france
to have two shooting ranges (10 meters and 50 meters) on
the livraz site. Initiation lessons are proposed throughout
the winter and even during the summer by experienced Esf
instructors and the megève cross-country skiing club, where
there are lessons for both beginners and the more
experienced.

Iso 14001
Megève a breeding ground
for environmental high quality
having obtained, since 2007, the
Iso 14001 certification, megève
Tourisme created the event. megève’s
structure can, in effect, boast for
becoming the first certified office.
zoom into the «environmental service»
standard. published in 1996, the standard
Iso 14001 is an international standard
applied to all types of organisations
whatever their size or activity.
The concept of this Iso 14001 standard
lays on the continued improvements of
the environmental performances.
The certification includes notably an
understanding of environmental activities,
the definition of an ecological policy
and controlled procedures. These
criterias are drastic, but on the other
hand, the Iso 14001 standard adds
a strong credibility to our partners,
accommodation owners and shop
keepers. In the offices of megève
Tourisme, everyone is already aware
of the environmental impact issues.
The Iso 14001 standard was firstly
felt like a company project and a
challenge for all. a reduction in water
and energy consumption, ecological
light bulbs and insulating doors,
possibility of downloading the
«megève magazine» on usb keys,
reducing printing, recycled paper
for all documents... there is no limit to
ecological procedures.
