Set in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, Megève is a beautiful and traditional winter sports resort that has been popular with artists and holidaymakers for more than a century. The traffic-free, cobbled medieval centre features an abundance of artisan shops, galleries, and an impressive array of four-and-five-star hotels, as well as no less than three Michelin-starred restaurants.
But Megève is also becoming increasing popular with British holidaymakers seeking luxury on the slopes without the price tag, thanks to a growing number of chic and affordable accommodation and dining options. Beyond traditional skiing and snowboarding, there are a number of truly transformative experiences available to those staying in Megève.
Holidaymakers can opt for traditional sleigh-rides through the village centre, a night in an igloo or a spectacular light aircraft flight over the Mont Blanc glaciers. For those seeking high-octane activities, think gliding across the snow on a fat bike, Great Northern dog sledding or an evening on the slopes on a snowmobile.
A seven-night stay at the charming Résidence de l’Ours (which is less than a three-minute walk from the ski lift), on a self-catering basis, arriving 8 January 2022, is priced from £795 pp (was £845 pp, saving £50 pp) based on four people sharing and includes return flights to Geneva from the UK.
