Less flashy than Courchevel and less sporty than Val-d'Isère, Megève cultivates its image as a unique and charming resort. Located two hours from Lyon and one hour from Geneva, it's a destination endowed with an extraordinary heritage. At the heart of the Mont Blanc Country, Megève stands as the ambassador of French and local gastronomy, revisited by starred chefs.
Sporting & cultural events punctuate local life. Megève is also about skiing: 324 hectares of ski area await beginners and experienced skiers alike. In Megève, you can also enjoy:
- Swimming pools, ice rinks, curling
- Casinos, clubs, bars, and pubs
- Spas and relaxation areas
- An altiport
Megève has remained an Alpine village with preserved architecture, full of alleys, horse-drawn carriages, and sunlit terraces: a haven for après-ski, shopping, and relaxation.
A resort that delights the senses
The resort will delight both amateur and expert skiers, with a domain that extends to the Chamonix valley, Switzerland (Verbier), and Italy (Courmayeur), all for 450 km of slopes. If you prefer local, the Megève domain alone comprises 325 km of marked slopes.
It shines with prestigious events, in summer as well as in winter, like the Snow Golf Cup or Snow Polo in winter, or the International Jazz Festival in the summer.
Where to buy in Megève?
Often considered Megève's exclusive area, Mont d'Arbois is home to the resort's most imposing chalets. As the historical location of the Rothschild family, it offers simple and quick access to the ski slopes. The hamlet of la Princesse, located on the western slope of the massif, should be considered for those looking to enjoy quieter lodging with exposure to mountain sunsets.
If you prefer a beautiful apartment with practical placement, the center-station area, around the main square, is a safe bet. However, do not overlook the Rochebrune neighborhood, which offers enough amenities and shops.
A key player in real estate in Megève and its surroundings for several years, the agency Allard Cooke & Associates specializes in the transaction of prestigious properties in the areas of Megève, Combloux, and Demi-Quartier.
