Discover Megève
Megève is one of the smartest and most famous ski resorts in the world. A village with a long history, it was remodelled in the 1920’s by the Rothschilds. Medieval cobbled streets around the pedestrianised village centre, chic chalets, designer boutiques and upmarket hotels – Megève continues to retain its upmarket status and its sophisticated charm attracts a chic clientele drawn by its dual-season charms.
Megève has a certain cachet and combines sophistication and glamour with a 13th century twist. Here you will find luxury hotels, restaurants boasting a total of six Michelin Stars as well as designer shops and boutiques and world renowned après ski. Combine this with a lift pass that includes Chamonix and the surrounding ski resorts and it adds up to a truly unique and special resort.
The summer season brings walking and cycling trails leading through forests and meadows. Megève is more than a ski resort – we categorise it as a lifestyle destination like few others.
