Megève

A refined Haute-Savoie village of horse-drawn sleighs and old stone, with easy tree-lined skiing and a food scene to rival any resort in France.

Megève and its neighbours — Combloux, Saint-Gervais and the Val d'Arly — offer relaxed, wooded skiing that suits families and intermediates, with Mont Blanc filling the horizon from almost every run.

Properties here favour the traditional: stone-and-timber chalets with gardens, wellness suites and long terraces, set in quiet countryside within a short drive of the village centre.
