The destination
Attracting aristocrats from Paris year after year, the town of Megève is one of the most fashionable ski resorts in the French Alps. Steeped in chic and charm, it boasts a friendly elegance and a very traditional atmosphere. Horse-drawn carriages ply the streets with passengers and pedestrians alike donning fur coats to stave off the cold. The town’s boutiques and restaurants are comparable to those found in the exclusive resort of Courchevel. One of the best times to visit is Christmas when the air turns to magic and families crowd around the ice rink in the centre of town.
Accommodation mostly consists of privately-owned chalets and small, boutique hotels. Warm timber interiors welcome guests and add to the comfort of their stay while here. Megève boasts some beautiful tree-lined slopes which are perfect for intermediate skiers. There are also a number of cross-country trails for those seeking something further afield. In fact, there are more than 27 miles of alpine routes to explore. Since the town is an hour’s drive from Geneva Airport, all of this is easily accessible by travellers from all origins.
