Megève's centre is pedestrianised — cobbled medieval streets, no through traffic. Your driver can access the village and come close to most accommodation, but the precise drop-off point depends on where you're staying. Confirm the full address when you book. The village spreads across several distinct areas beyond the historic centre. Mont d'Arbois sits above the village on the plateau, with its own character and direct access to the ski area. The Rochebrune sector has accommodation scattered across the hillside. Some chalets in the outlying hamlets sit on private tracks that require specific directions. If your host has given you arrival instructions, pass them on — in a resort of this size and character, the right address matters.
Brides-les-Bains connects to Méribel by the Olympic gondola — built for the 1992 Games, around 25 minutes to the top. It runs during ski season and makes Brides a genuine base for skiers who want lower accommodation costs and don't mind the morning commute up. The town is easy to navigate and sits low enough that winter road conditions are rarely a factor. We drop off at your hotel or apartment entrance. One practical note: the gondola has fixed operating hours and stops in the evening. If you're arriving late and planning to head up to Méribel the same night, check the last departure before you travel — it's the kind of detail that's easy to miss when you're planning from home.
