Megeve

Just proving the point that you need not visit a resort to know that it is expensive 8)

Like everywhere I am sure it has cheaper places and expensive places to do everything. I am yet to visit anywhere in the world like this. It isn't even like Megeve is a ski town like a lot in France without any other options near by (ie, a captive market). Obviously I have not been to Megeve so can't really qualify it but ise has come out and said it and I value his opinion over some random on a review site.

In the past 3 years I have skied on 3 different continents at close to 20 different resorts and am yet to experience somewhere I can just brand 'expensive' or 'cheap'. You need to see a little more of the world and make your own minds up on things instead of believing everything you read on the internet :twisted:

It's still expensive :wink:

As Wickers said earlier, it is all relative. However, if I always avoided places with a reputation for being expensive then I would have missed out on some of the best trips of my life. Make it what you can afford to make it but don't miss out.

Sorry johnski but I agree with ise here, I've never failed to find a restaurant in London that doesn't suit needs. I don't know many places with a wider choice to suit every pocket or palate.


Also, I've gotta give credit where it's due, this is my favourite post ever :lol:

Megeve has more than its fair share of fine restaurants, eight of which have Michelin stars.

Cheers.

Flippin' 'eck, obviously ruffled a few feathers there!!

I was giving an opinion, based on my experience visiting Megeve in March 2003 - so granted its out of date, exchange rates have changed and I didn't eat everywhere! I found it expensive!

[On the London thing, yes it has a fantastically varied restaurant scene, no question - But that subject is not one for a ski board!]

And I agree, Pablo's "7 nights only" post is a classic!
