A cold bell of alpine air meets you on the village square: slate rooftops silvered with frost, a horse-drawn carriage winding past stone shops, and a private host already mapping the day. The concierge leads you through narrow cobbled lanes, pointing out carved wooden balconies and the church spire that has watched over Megève for centuries.

Plan for altitude
Megève sits around 1,000–1,850 m; stay hydrated and allow time to acclimatize before intense exertion.
