Megève

The foundation of Megève dates back to the 13th century, when the monks of Talloires Abbey cleared the land and built the first farms. Megève thus began life as a modest mountain village, with a population mainly made up of farmers and shepherds.

That all changed in the early 20th century, however, when Baroness Noémie de Rothschild, charmed by Megeve's rugged beauty, turned it into a posh ski destination to escape the growing popularity of St. Moritz among high society. Her initiative quickly transformed Megève into a sought-after winter paradise, ushering in a new era for the village.

Today, Megève is synonymous with elegance and refinement, offering visitors an attractive combination of rustic charm and modern luxury. Its medieval town center, traditional chalets and immaculate ski slopes bear witness to its rich and varied heritage.

Megève has managed to preserve its rich history and authenticity while transforming itself into a world-class vacation destination. Visitors are invited to explore its cobbled streets, historic 13th-century church and Megève museum to discover local culture and history.
