Megève in Winter

Blanketed in snow, the Alps offer a breathtaking spectacle in winter. At the heart of this white wonderland, Megève remains a mountain village of irresistible charm, which for generations has combined chic, glamour, and tradition. Its picturesque lanes, its Christmas tree as grand as the peaks, its sumptuous chalets, its alpine pastures, and its ancient forests, dusted with sparkling snow crystals—it would be hard to find a more enchanting place. With the sweet scent of hot chocolate and the crackle of a fire in the air, the time has come for a wonderful family winter sports getaway.

At the foot of Mont Blanc, children are bursting with energy. Whether hurtling down the slopes or on a wild toboggan run, the mountain air fuels their thirst for adventure. Dog sledding, snowshoeing, or trying cross-country skiing: there are so many ways to experience winter sports to the fullest, wrapped up in a snow-covered mountain landscape. Surrounded by landscapes of rare beauty, our guide reveals the wild side of the Alps, on trails blanketed in powder.

Back at the chalet, the fire is crackling. As soon as you return, it glows with the light of a thousand candles and welcomes you into a world that feels more intimate than ever, where children feel right at home.
