Haute-Savoie: The ultimate luxury ski destination
Arriving in Haute-Savoie from the UK or elsewhere in Europe is easy – simply book yourself a flight to Geneva airport in Switzerland, and from there, you can head on to the French Alps.
There are numerous ski resorts to be found in the region for enthusiasts of the sport, but when it comes to sophistication and opulence, Megève is the place to be. Here, can settle into one of the beautiful chalets at Fée Pour Vous Luxury Properties before heading directly to the ski slopes – and with a private chauffeur on hand to ferry you around and provided as part of the deal, there’s no need to waste a minute of your precious holiday time.
Why Megève?
If you are looking for the prettiest ski resort in France, Megève is most certainly it. While there’s plenty to offer the experienced skier, it also provides some more laid-back runs for amateurs and those simply looking for a more chilled out experience. So, if you’d prefer to put the adrenaline on ice this time around and simply enjoy the breath-taking scenery that surrounds the resort and its slopes, then look no further.
A charming village that is home to more than 3,000 residents year-round, there’s also plenty to do when you’re not on the slopes, so if you’re travelling with family and friends of varying levels of enthusiasm for the sport, then it’s the ideal pick. From dog sledding to ice skating and curling, entertainment opportunities abound, and even just wandering the quaint, cobbled streets of Megève and soaking up the vibe of its many cafés and shops is a pleasurable way to while away an afternoon.
And of course, it’s a haven for foodies. Megève is home to some of the very best restaurants in all of Haute-Savoie, with the largest selection to choose from of all the resorts – so if memorable dining experiences are on your list of ingredients for the perfect holiday, then you’re in luck.

If you’re too tired to head back out to eat at one of Megève’s many great restaurants after a long day on the slopes, you’ll also have a private chef available to prepare you a special meal – whether it’s a particular dish you’ve been craving, or an impressive culinary experience to impress your guests. You can remain at the table for hours, catching up on each other’s lives, while eating delicate French food and sipping on a fine Grand Cru – and in the morning, you’ll wake up to the perfect cup of espresso and a delicious buffet of baguettes, croissants and pastries, as well as anything else you’d like to request.
And of course, you can enjoy it all at your leisure, sitting in front of your chalet’s open fire as you watch snowflakes tumble slowly down towards the ground and prepare yourself for another day of freedom on the mountain. What could be more perfect than that?
When you return après-ski, your muscles aching from all that exertion on the slopes, why not head to the massage parlour to enjoy an indulgent massage and allow the soreness, as well as any stresses and strains, to just melt away? After all, holidays are all about relaxation, even for adventurous types – and there’s an inviting hot tub and heated swimming pool to continue the experience afterwards.
Want to relax and catch one of the latest flicks? Make your way to your chalet’s private cinema to enjoy your very own movie night, complete with popcorn and drinks.
To put it simply, it’s an unrivalled winter holiday experience that every snow-loving traveller should treat themselves to at least once, and with autumn now just around the corner, there’s no better time to book.
