Understand the villages and collection areas
Megève
Named rental-search location; confirm the actual collection address.
Locate the residence within the resort plan
A Geneva transfer or a Sallanches railway arrival still needs one more location decision. Establish the residence, intended mountain departure and collection shop together. A local shuttle is useful only when its stop, running dates and final departure fit the actual plan, especially for accommodation away from the centre.
The train station carries the Megève name but remains in Sallanches.
How the arrival fits your chosen base
Compare Geneva Airport transfer with rail to Sallanches and an onward village connection.
Sallanches station is approximately 12 km from Megève village.
- Choose the complete Geneva transfer or rail-to-Sallanches option.
- For rail, add the bus or taxi from Sallanches–Combloux–Megève.
- Use the address to choose the final stop and local Meg-Bus leg.
Choose collection around the first ski day
Use your accommodation neighbourhood and intended mountain departure to narrow the pickup location.
Put the accommodation entrance, lesson meeting point and intended collection shop on one map before paying. A lower equipment price in another village can introduce a special fitting or return journey. Ask the chosen shop about collection hours and return conditions; this guide does not promise those commercial details.
Before committing to transport
A station bearing the Megève name is not a train arrival at the resort residence.
Use a date-specific operator planner for the complete outward and return trips. A published ride time does not include baggage collection, waiting, road delays or the last walk to the building. If the last usable service is too early, compare an organised transfer or an overnight near the gateway before buying a non-refundable connection.

Is a Rochebrune shop necessarily in Megève’s pedestrian centre?
No. Rochebrune and the village centre are separate neighbourhoods in the official guide.
Which railway gateway should I use for Megève?
Sallanches–Combloux–Megève. Sallanches station is approximately 12 km from Megève village.
Should the rental shop be in the same place as my accommodation?
Use your accommodation neighbourhood and intended mountain departure to narrow the pickup location. Compare the real collection and return journey rather than assuming all entries in a ski area are interchangeable.
