A chic ski resort nestled at the foot of the Mont Blanc massif, Megève has lost none of its splendor or authenticity. Thanks to its passage through Emily in ParisIt is transforming into a festive and epicurean resort. Here are five addresses to prove it.
The Lodge Park Hotel
An iconic Megève resort, it invites you to relax and enjoy spending time with family and friends. Owned by the Sibuet family, who also run Les Fermes de Marie and the Hôtel Mont-Blanc, this hotel underwent a complete renovation this winter and earned its fifth star in the process. "Thirty years after its opening, it seemed important to us to create new suites and an 800-square-meter spa without compromising the original trapper spirit ," explains Marie Sibuet, who, along with her brother Nicolas, heads the Maisons & Hôtels Sibuet group. Gazelle horn chandeliers, antler light fixtures, armchairs upholstered in kilim rugs, trophies adorning the walls, leopard-print carpeting, and a fireplace clad in river stones... the décor is a blend of inspirations from the Far North and the African savannah. Upstairs, the number of rooms has been reduced from 49 to 35, including 30 spacious suites—ranging from 50 to 80 square meters—dressed in Ralph Lauren houndstooth woolens, leather bolster headboards, and bedspreads with Native American motifs. But the highlight remains the spa, with its 12-meter indoor pool, Kneipp bath, saunas (including an infrared sauna), fitness room, and five treatment rooms, one of which is a double.
The Beefbar in the Heart of Megève
After Monaco, Paris, St. Tropez, São Paulo, Mexico City, and Hong Kong, the meat-focused chain has opened a location in Megève, within the renowned Hôtel Cœur de Megève, designed by Sybille de Margerie. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Thierry Paludetto, the menu features a variety of meats from exceptional farms, such as Kobe beef imported from Japan and Black Angus from Australia, served in mini-shawarma, small kebabs, and exquisite Bolognese sauces. A flavorful and internationally inspired dining experience that will delight lovers of exceptional meats!

Following in the footsteps of Henry Jacques Le Même
Renowned for shaping the identity of this village, this French architect revolutionized mountain living by designing over 200 chalets in Megève, including those of Noémie de Rothschild in 1925 and Marcel Dassault. If you are interested in the work of this figure, whose aesthetic vocabulary is recognizable by its graphic and geometric lines, a Savoie Mont-Blanc heritage guide can reveal the history of these houses, including that of Henry Jacques Le Même.

The Grand Cru Fondues at M de Megève
Located within the Hôtel M in Megève, the restaurant of the same name, with its typically Savoyard cuisine, invites you to an exclusive gastronomic experience centered around cheese. Historically attributed to our Swiss friends, fondue here regains its prestige thanks to the inventiveness of chef Thomas Lecomte, who offers a selection of fine cheeses (Comté, Beaufort, Abondance, Vacherin, Etivaz, etc.), ranging from fruity to very fruity and aged – from 6 to 38 months – and a variety of condiments, breads, and accompaniments that allow you to personalize this recipe with carefully sourced products.
An aperitif in an igloo
Two mountain enthusiasts from the region, Michael and Alban, have built an igloo by hand in the unspoiled Leutaz valley and invite hikers to a gourmet aperitif featuring local products: sausages, cheeses from the Arly valley, and a loaf of bread accompanied by mulled wine after a snowshoe hike. An unforgettable outing that ends under the stars. Reservations required.
