Perfectly located in the heart of the Alps—and easily accessed via Geneva—Megève is a world-class winter adventureland with nearly 250 miles of slopes. The mountain town is known for some of the best ski slopes in the French Alps, but if you walk a short distance from the gondola lifts near the summit, you’ll also find an observatory. That’s because Megève isn’t just a destination for powder hounds—it’s also a great place to take in the wonders of the night sky. There’s a bit of irony in seeking out a travel destination for something as terrestrial as skiing and then finding yourself drawn to something as celestial as stargazing, but here—perhaps unlike anywhere else in the world—these pursuits complement each other swimmingly. Come for the slopes, and stay for the stars. For more, check our link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸: ⁠ 1-3. fsmegeve⁠ 4. montdarboisastronomie⁠ 5.
