Charging stations

Green vehicles are welcome in Megève! Committed to preserving the environment, Megève has three charging stations for electric vehicles.
Charging stations are available at the Casino car park, on the national road (at the skate park, near the Palais roundabout), on Impasse Molettaz and on Rue de la Poste. Electric bikes are also available 24/7 and can be charged at these stations.

Mandatory equipment on snow

Since November 1, 2021, chains or winter tires are mandatory to travel to mountainous areas. Thus, all vehicles wishing to travel to Megève from November 1 to March 31 must be equipped with chains, snow tires or four-season tires. This obligation concerns light and commercial vehicles, motorhomes, heavy goods vehicles and coaches traveling in the mountainous areas predefined by the prefects. As such, all drivers must have removable non-slip devices in their trunk (metal or textile chains, also called "snow socks"), thus making it possible to equip at least two drive wheels or to be equipped with four winter tires. .
