Megeve is one of world’s iconic ski destinations

Skiing in the French Alps

Megève is one of world’s iconic ski destinations. Created by a Baroness of the famous Rothschild family a century ago as a French answer to St Moritz, it has always been synonymous with the best of everything. Unlike most well known French ski areas, Megève was not built from scratch but was founded upon an original village that dates back to the 13th century.

Enriched by an out of the ordinary history and heritage, the village goes well beyond the image that we may already have of this unique venue. It cultivates the charm of a true radiant village flourishing around its main medieval style square, with old districts, narrow streets and cool little squares brightened up with fountains and wash houses, the village has all the characters of an Alpine architecture.

The amicable ambiance, gastronomy, well being and a sporting spirit have made Megève a major destination. Megève is a Mecca for foodies, it is also home to the only three-Michelin starred chef in the Alps.

Surrounded by three alpine massifs with gentle slopes and green forests, Megève is a land of natural contrasts that is the joy of nature lovers with some of the most scenically attractive in the skiing world.
