The Alps the Rothschilds built. Cobblestones and couture.
Megève was dreamed up by the Rothschilds as France’s answer to St. Moritz, and it still feels like it — horse-drawn sleighs on cobblestones, log fires, gentle tree-lined skiing, and some of the best food in the Alps. Less about the vertical, more about the very good life.
Three linked massifs of pretty, tree-lined cruising, none of it intimidating, all of it pointed at a long lunch. In Megève the skiing is the appetiser and the table is the main course.
A car-light medieval square, golf and hiking in the foothills, and Mont Blanc on the horizon. Savoie at its most charming.
Horse-drawn calèches still carry you across the old town to dinner. The most romantic commute in the Alps.
A clutch of starred kitchens and a fireside cellar dinner — Megève eats as well as anywhere in the mountains.
Gentle tree-lined skiing, a sleigh ride to a starred dinner, and a medieval village built for pleasure — Megève is the good life with a Mont Blanc view. We hold the keys to the chalets, the calèche transfers, the tables that matter. Bring your group. Once it’s set, you travel free.
