Chalet Life

One of the most important figures in Megève's history, Henry Jacques Le Même gave the resort its architectural soul and, what's more, influenced its art of living... There's no doubt about it, the Megève landscape would not be the same if Henry Jacques Le Même hadn't decided to settle here in 1925. Indeed, his singular, well-integrated architecture established the identity of this resort launched by the Rothschild family in the early 1920s.

A Mégevanne institution opened more than 70 years ago, the Roc family grocery store has, since last winter, become the Épicerie des Fermes. What can you find there? A delicious selection of local, artisanal and international products that can only be found here and not elsewhere, carefully chosen by Marie and Nicolas Sibuet. In short, nothing but the very best.

Cheese at Fermes de Marie is a religion!

For the initiated and the gourmets, we meet at the Alpine Restaurant: Le Carnotzet des Fermes, where cheese is king! Discover the incredible fondues selected by master cheese-maker Boujon, and taste the one voted "Best Fondue in Megève" at the Tocquicimes event. You can also try the highly original goat's cheese fondue, a delight, or go for the traditional raclette au couteau or a péla des Aravis. All accompanied by Savoy wines and the sound of the limonaire!

Breakfast can be one of the pleasures of hotel life. Its variety, its freshness, its originality and the pleasure of having it at the time you want, where you want, in bed, on the terrace in the sun, in the shade of the fir trees, facing the mountains, in the lounge, in front of a nice flambée, in the kitchen... Les Maisons Sibuet have made breakfast a truly great moment...

‍

The place to be after a day on the slopes? The Lodge Park Bar of course, in the heart of the village! After some wild descents we meet up with friends under the giant tepee to share a glass of mulled wine or an Apple Spice, the secret of the house, while the DJ remixes classics!

‍

The Lodge Park, with its trendy and cosy atmosphere, looks like a chic Nordic refuge and houses an exceptional steak house. So let yourself be transported to this elegant lodge at the end of the world to savour rare meats, matured and cooked according to the rules of the art.

 In this refined place adorned with wood and warm hangings, enhanced with trophies and skins, we detail, as one would leaf through a travel diary, the map and the butcher's stall which present only exceptional meats. To be more precise? Meat selected from the best farms in the world by Olivier Metzger, butcher (based in Neuilly and Rungis) for four generations and who supplies the finest French tables with his brother Franck, including the Beef Lodge. The meats are then cooked by a passionate chef, Christophe Côte (a predestined name, it seems), then presented and advised by the "bouchelier" (meat adviser) Romain Massiera, who is also in charge of the Beef Lodge.

At Heart

As Olivier Metzger explains: "Exceptional meat is an animal that is well treated, well raised and well slaughtered. It must have three main qualities: tenderness, 'juiciness', with a beautiful red colour, and a good marbling (editor's note: fat microorganisms) to be melting. "And if each terroir has its own specificity, which varies according to the climate, the breed and the food of the animals, in this luxury steak house, the meats selected and matured here are selected above all for their qualities. No specific breed on the menu therefore, as Chef Christophe Cote points out, but exceptional animals. "The breed doesn't have much to do with it, I prefer to work on a product that has been selected by the butcher, then we work with breeders and slaughterhouses. "Moreover, he sometimes even accompanies Olivier Metzger to the breeders' premises or joins him at Rungis, just to see the animals or follow the maturing process. Even if the cutting and cooking work is just as essential. "Christophe is a real meat expert, he has an extraordinary love of the product, like the Sibuet family, who have a real education and an incredible love of products", says Olivier Metzger. So much so that the chef and his teams have followed training courses at the École Nationale Supérieure des Métiers de la Viande with Olivier Metzger and also work at a school in Groisy, in Haute-Savoie, where they teach students how to cut meat in the catering trade.

You don't want the services of a chef but you don't want to cook?

From peaceful Alpine pastures to the elegant vacation destination it is today, the history of Megève, located in the heart of the French Alps, is rich and fascinating.

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.
