Megève Luxury Travel Guide: Best Neighbourhoods, Chalets & How to Visit

Megève is the Alps at their most graceful. Settled beneath the peaks of the Evasion Mont-Blanc, it is a village built for winter long before skiing became a sport. Lantern-lit streets, boutique-lined promenades, and larchwood chalets alongside decadent apartments form a setting that feels both timeless and stylish. On the mountain, broad, tree-lined pistes invite unhurried laps, while in the village, restaurants glow through the evening and the rhythm shifts from caviar bars to hidden pâtisseries.

Megève: Where Tradition Meets Quiet Glamour

There’s an elegance woven into Megève’s story, not loud but enduring. Born as a winter retreat for European high society, the village still carries that softness as evident in the horse-drawn sleighs drifting past old farmhouses. On the mountain, slopes unfold gently towards long lunches and sunlit terraces. It's a resort where winter feels curated, built for pleasure not for speed.

What to Expect in Megève

Skiing on Megève's Mountains

With 445 km of interconnected slopes across the Evasion Mont-Blanc, Megève offers a fantastic ski experience that has plenty of variety. Rochebrune brings broad, rolling pistes ideal for long laps; Mont d’Arbois opens into wide viewpoints and gentle descents perfect for families; and Le Jaillet offers quieter runs with panoramic views towards the Aravis range.

Intermediates will find endless mileage, while confident skiers can explore steeper reds, blacks, and off-piste routes with a guide. From hidden powder bowls to tree runs that feel worlds away from the village below there's plenty to enjoy. For non-skiers or slower days, Megève’s winter offering extends naturally into snowshoeing, ice skating, dog sledding, or simply embracing the rhythm of the village itself.

Winter in Megève

Megève’s season typically runs from mid-December into April, shaped by sheltered forests and the rolling terrain of the Evasion Mont-Blanc. Temperatures sit between –6°C and 5°C through midwinter, with snowfall that settles beautifully across the rooftops and tree-lined pistes.

Unlike the harsher landscapes of higher-altitude resorts, Megève offers a softer, more cinematic winter offering up an Alpine calm that makes time feel slower.

Shopping in Megève

Beyond the slopes, Megève offers a shopping scene shaped by craftsmanship and quiet luxury. Wander the village and you’ll find everything from design-led boutiques to heritage jewellers. Blu&Berry curates pieces from Dior, Isabel Marant and Loewe. Big Boss stocks Saint Laurent and Fendi. Guilhem, the village’s renowned jeweller and official Rolex retailer, offers exceptional watches and fine pieces crafted with Alpine precision.

Whether you're looking for a last-minute gift, an elegant outfit for dinner, or something timeless to mark your stay, Megève has it.

Megève at a Glance

Ready to find your perfect base? Our guide explores Megève’s distinct neighbourhoods, from the elegance of Mont d’Arbois to the calm of Le Jaillet and the village-centre streets that glow after dark, helping you choose the setting that matches your winter.

Megève Village (Centre-Village)

The heart of Megève, lantern-lit and elegant with everything at your fingertips.

The village centre is Megève at its most enchanting: cobbled streets, old farmhouses turned boutiques, and the sound of church bells drifting over the square. Everything radiates from here: the Chamois gondola, the designer shops, the cafés that glow from late afternoon into the night.

Start your morning with a pastry at Le Prieuré or Pâtisserie Le Monde de Sophie, then wander through the boutiques for an unhurried browse. The village also hides some of Megève’s most atmospheric dining rooms: the wood-panelled warmth of Le Coeur de Megève, the quietly sophisticated La Table de l’Alpaga, and tucked just off the square, the intimate fireside charm of Le Torrent.

For a deeper reset, the Spa du Coeur is one of the most serene in the centre. In winter, the festive season transforms the centre into a storybook scene of Christmas markets, horse-drawn sleighs and soft, glowing façades.

Being here means walking everywhere. It’s ideal for families who want ease, for guests who love evenings in the village, and for anyone who wants Megève’s rhythm right at their doorstep.

Mont d’Arbois

Steeped in heritage, Megève’s most prestigious enclave.

Mont d’Arbois is where Megève’s legacy lives. A place of grand chalets and winter traditions that date back to the Rothschild era. Up here the landscape opens out, with immaculate properties and a sense of stillness slightly removed from the village.

Skiers love Mont d’Arbois for its access. The Mont d’Arbois gondola leads to gentle, sun-soaked terrain and smooth connections across the Evasion Mont-Blanc, making it perfect for long, flowing days. Linger on the terrace at Le Super Megève, or opt for the quieter path to Le Radaz, a more rustic lunch spot locals adore.

The Spa at Four Seasons Megève remains one of the most impressive wellness spaces in the Alps thanks to the soaring views, an outdoor pool framed by snow, and treatments that feel deeply restorative.

Mont d’Arbois is best suited to guests seeking space, serenity and that polished Megève experience.

Rochebrune

Sunlit slopes and effortless access in a warm neighbourhood.

Rochebrune sits close to the village yet offers a quieter, sunnier atmosphere, shaped by traditional Alpine homes and the warmth of a lived-in neighbourhood. It’s loved for the Rochebrune cable car, which delivers skiers onto rolling, open pistes with some of the best early-morning conditions in Megève.

There’s a gentle charm to this area. Stop at La Ferme de Mon Père for modern Savoyard dishes or take the quieter route to Le Refuge du Calvaire, a cosy mountainside spot perfect for a rustic lunch with panoramic views. For a casual evening, L’Alpage du Prariand often hosts lively, uncomplicated dinners with a view.

With ski access without queues and evenings as quiet or lively as you choose, Rochebrune is a picturesque base for your Megève adventure.

Le Jaillet

Megève at its most peaceful.

Le Jaillet is the resort’s best-kept secret: spacious, scenic and designed for guests who want to slow the pace. The slopes face the Aravis mountains, giving this area some of the most beautiful views in the resort. The Jaillet gondola offers calm, panoramic skiing with gentle terrain ideal for long, relaxed days. This part of Megève is perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who prefers space over speed.

Lunch on the slopes at La Table du Trappeur is a highlight, with views stretching across the range, while down in the hamlet. For a hidden gem, visit the tiny Chapelle du Jaillet, a peaceful, snow-framed walk that feels worlds away from the village.

Le Jaillet is a neighbourhood for those who want Megève’s beauty without its bustle, allowing for starlit walks and time spent with your loved ones on quiet terraces with incredible views.
