Pistes of France Give Aspen a Run for Its Money

By Linda Tancs

What is France’s best kept secret?  No, it isn’t the location of the best truffle-producing oak tree. Instead, try the tony ski village of Megève in the heart of the French Alps.  Take to the pistes in high style from the comfortable elegance of a chalet at Le Hameau de Mavarin, sporting fabulous views of Mont Blanc.  After you’ve indulged in foie gras and farm pig at Michelin-rated Le Flocon de Sel, walk it off along the narrow cobbled streets in this pedestrian-friendly hamlet.  Aspen’s got nothing on this powdered paradise for skier and non-skier alike.
