Luxury ski holidays in Megève
Megève is one of the most refined ski destinations in the French Alps. Elegant rather than flashy, traditional yet highly sophisticated, it combines excellent skiing with outstanding hotels, gastronomy and a village atmosphere that few resorts can match.
Skiing in Megève and the Evasion Mont Blanc area
Megève forms part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski area, offering over 400 kilometres of pistes spread across Megève, Saint-Gervais, Les Contamines and La Giettaz. The terrain is varied and well suited for confident intermediates and advanced skiers, with long cruising runs, tree-lined slopes and wide open alpine sections.
Snow conditions are generally reliable, and grooming standards are excellent. While Megève may not be the steepest resort in the Alps, it is one of the most enjoyable to ski, particularly for those who appreciate flow, scenery and uncrowded pistes rather than extreme gradients.
For families, Megève is exceptionally well organised, with high-quality ski schools, gentle beginner areas and discreet luxury services that make skiing effortless. Alpine scenery and village atmosphere
Set against the Mont Blanc massif, Megève offers breathtaking alpine scenery in every direction. Unlike many purpose-built resorts, Megève is a real village, with a historic centre, pedestrian streets and a calm, authentic rhythm that remains intact even during peak season.
Horse-drawn sleighs, traditional chalets and understated boutiques define the village, while the surrounding mountains offer year-round appeal. Winter days on the slopes naturally flow into relaxed afternoons on sunny terraces or by the fire in one of the many refined bars and lounges. Restaurants in Megève: from mountain lunches to fine dining
Megève is widely regarded as one of the best culinary destinations in the Alps. The village and surrounding slopes are home to an impressive selection of gastronomic restaurants, including Michelin-starred dining, as well as relaxed mountain restaurants known for excellent produce and beautifully located terraces.
Long lunches on the mountain are part of Megève’s DNA. Expect refined Alpine cuisine, attentive service and a clientele that values quality over spectacle.
In the evening, the village offers a broad range of dining options, from discreet fine dining to lively brasseries and elegant wine bars. Luxury hotels in Megève
