The farming village made famous by the Rothschilds

Megève is an idyllic resort located only one hour from Geneva airport. It is the French equivalent of Gstaad or St. Moritz. Megève is many things: a resort with an atmosphere that attracts the jet set, an excellent family holiday destination and a cultural and social centre that retains a very French atmosphere. It is dotted with beautiful chalets, lovely boutiques, and all the trappings of elegance and style.

Megève offers over 300 km of pistes, linked with the neighbouring ski area of St. Gervais. It is an ideal resort for families with many inter-connected slopes (as in the Trois Vallées) and with 75% of slopes either intermediate or beginner. There is also excellent cross-country skiing. For polo enthusiasts, do not miss the January Polo Masters.

Megève is a paradise for window-shoppers and for people who want to enjoy a ski resort without necessarily skiing all day. There are fantastic restaurants both on and off the pistes and there is a lovely outdoor ice-skating rink centrally located in town. Enjoy a horse driven tour of the town or just sit back in your chalet in front of a log fire with your favourite book. Megève is ideally situated for day trips to Geneva, Courmayeur, Martigny and Annecy.
