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 the fire in the air, the time has come for a wonderful family winter sports escape.

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 sharpens their thirst for adventure. Dog sledding, snowshoe outings or discovering cross-country skiing: so many ways to experience winter sports to the full, wrapped up in a mountain padded with snow. Surrounded by landscapes of rare beauty, our guide reveals the wild side of the Alps, on routes laden with powder.

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

Your family stay, tailor-made

Your Chalet Manager takes care of every detail so the whole family can make the most of it:

• advance booking of your ski lessons and lift passes;
• indulgent afternoon teas to refuel after a day outdoors;
• a dog-sledding outing with a Far North feel;
• a dream dinner thanks to our exclusive catering service.

At teatime, step through the door of the “Le Georges” tea room at the Hôtel Mont-Blanc. A chic, indulgent spot just steps from the Place de l’Église, where time seems to stand still.

Exceptional pastries and rare teas

Here you share incredible pastries: the legendary Mont-Blanc with its delicious chestnut cream, blueberry tart, coffee éclair and religieuse, served with a selection of the rarest teas and hot chocolates made the old-fashioned way. A gourmet interlude in the spirit of the great houses.

A break in one of Megève’s most beautiful settings

Settled in a cosy armchair, facing the fireplace or the windows overlooking the comings and goings of horse-drawn carriages, you savour the hushed atmosphere of the Hôtel Mont-Blanc. Afternoon tea becomes a true ceremony, to enjoy as a couple, with family or with friends.
