If its name is known and recognized throughout the world, the village of Megève is at the same time authentic, unique and timeless, eternally associated with the image of Mont Blanc. Synonymous with quality of life and elegance, Megève is an essential destination for all lovers of the mountains, gastronomy, well-being, but also sporting and cultural events. One of the most popular mountain villages, Megève amazes with its delicate luxury, its authenticity and its natural richness. This Haute Savoie village has preserved the traces of its historical heritage and proudly displays its colors through its squares, its medieval-style town and its cobbled streets. Megève, which takes its name from the Celtic “Mageva” which means “the village in the middle of the waters", was once a place conducive to agriculture. However, it was very quickly coveted by the first tourists, in search of nature, healing and clean air. After the attachment of Savoy to France, the village developed little by little and hosted the first ski competition in 1914. Enhanced by the texts of a journalist, Mathilde Maige-Lefournier, a mountaineer from Chambéry, then by the Rothschild family who came to vacation on Mont d'Arbois in the winter months, Megève became a ski resort in its own right and talk about it around the world. Proud of this history, Megève has been able to boost its image over the years while retaining its authentic charm. It is thus possible to discover it and marvel at it throughout the year, through its landscapes, its heritage, its high gastronomy and its events.
