Megève began as a farm village many centuries ago and developed into a luxury destination in the 1920s when the Baron de Rothschild fell in love with the area. Perched at 1,100 meters in the heart of the Mont Blanc region and only one hour’s drive from Geneva (and 30 minutes from Chamonix), Megève has stunning views of Mont Blanc, excellent skiing and a busy night life with live music, cabaret and après-ski on the main square. The pedestrian village center and its medieval architecture are best appreciated from one of Megève’s horse drawn carriages. There are so many accommodations to choose from- from luxury chalets to 4 & 5* hotels, Megève has something to offer to everyone.
The resort is also synonymous with Alpine gastronomy. There are 80 restaurants that serve delicious mountain cuisine using the finest ingredients. Of course, there are Michelin-starred restaurants waiting to be tasted!
Although many may think of the French Alps as purely a winter destination, that could not be further from the truth! Megève is a year-round destination, with plenty to offer! Its forests and crystal clear mountain streams are home to a variety of Alpine flora and fauna. Megève offers a large range of outdoor activities including hiking, paragliding, mountain biking, horse riding, rock climbing and golf. Of course, there are spas for those who want to kick back and relax, enjoying the beautiful scenery. If you are interested in the Alps in the spring, summer or fall, we suggest pairing a few days in Megève with some time in Annecy and Lyon.
