About Demi Quartier

Demi-Quartier is a commune in Haute-Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, bordering the prestigious stations of Megève in the south and Combloux in the north. Its name could originate from the shape of its territory which evokes a crescent moon or more simply to remember that it was a part of a seigneury. 

With a population of about 1,000 inhabitants, part of which is settled in hamlets, Demi-Quartier took advantage of the rise in the interwar period of Megève, which has become one of the most prestigious ski resorts in France. This is why it hosts numerous hotel establishments on its territory, whereas the main activities related to skiing are located in the territory of Megève.

All suit good intermediates and there’s so much choice there’s no chance of getting bored. The resort still has some old, slow lifts but the mileage hungry can plan their day around the fast lifts. Experts won’t be disappointed in Demi Quartier now that 20 runs are left ungroomed after a large snowfall. There should be plenty of fresh powder to play about in as the majority of skiers prefer the gentler slopes – and the powder remains for several days. From Mt Arbois you can make your way over to the Mt Joly and Mt Joux sectors where you’ll find the steepest slopes in the ski resort plus some serious off-piste terrain down the back. A popular descent is the Epaule red on Mt Joly down to the village of St Nicolas de Veroce – don’t forget to stop and gaze at the breath-taking view of Mont Blanc on the way.
