About the neighbourhood

Megève dates back to the 13th century and, with its cobbled streets surrounded by enticing restaurants and boutiques, oozes Gallic ambience. At the foot of the majestic Mont Blanc mountain range, bordering Switzerland and Italy, traversed by two mountain streams, lies a regal resort. Skiing in Megève is a ski destination that was established in 1916 when the pastures of the French Rhone-Alps first caught the attention of the Baroness de Rothschild and flourished under her family’s influence during the roaring 1920s.In the words of Ariane De Rothschild herself: “Megève is like a sleeping beauty”. Today, it remains an exclusive ski destination tailored to the wants of the modern beau monde skier traveller with diverse ski terrain that appeals to all types of skiers. Fresh from the slopes, well-heeled guests have their pick of shopping at designer boutiques, sophisticated après-ski encounters, and an array of Michelin-starred restaurants.
