ABOUT MEGÈVE
Megève is a place where French "Art de Vivre" meets alpine tradition. Unlike purpose-built resorts, Megève is a genuine medieval village with a rich history, transformed into a prestigious winter destination by the Rothschild family in the 1920s. Located in the heart of the Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area, it offers over 445 km of diverse terrain. The skiing here is unique: mostly tree-lined runs that offer stunning views of Mont Blanc and provide excellent visibility even on snowy days. But Megève is as much about the village as it is about the slopes. Its pedestrian center, paved with cobblestones and traversed by horse-drawn carriages, is lined with high-end boutiques, art galleries, and some of the best restaurants in the Alps.
Authentic Charm: A preserved medieval village center with a magical, timeless atmosphere.
Scenic Skiing: Explore 445 km of tree-lined pistes with breathtaking views of Mont Blanc.
The Lifestyle: The capital of alpine gastronomy and luxury shopping.
TOP THINGS TO DO IN MEGÈVE
On the Slopes & Nature Megève offers a unique skiing experience within the Evasion Mont-Blanc domain. The tree-lined runs are perfect for all weather conditions. For a magical break, take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage (Calèche) around the village square—it is the signature experience of Megève. Wellness & Activities If you need a break from skiing, head to Le Palais. It is the largest indoor leisure complex in the Alps, featuring thermal pools, climbing walls, and ice rinks. It is the perfect spot for families or for relaxing sore muscles after a day on the mountain. Gastronomy Megève is arguably the gourmet capital of the Alps. For the ultimate culinary journey, book a table at Flocons de Sel, Emmanuel Renaut's legendary 3-Michelin-star restaurant. For something more casual but equally delicious, the village is packed with traditional savoyard bistros serving excellent fondue. Après-Ski & Nightlife The atmosphere here is sophisticated yet lively. You can enjoy jazz music at the famous Club de Jazz Les 5 Rues, or experience the high-energy party atmosphere on the slopes at La Folie Douce (Saint-Gervais/Megève). Whether you want a quiet cocktail by a fireplace or a night of dancing, Megève has it all.
