Megève (Auvergne Rhône Alpes)

Located in the Haute-Savoie department, Megève is an authentic Alpine village and a prestigious ski resort offering 400 km of pistes. Surrounded by three mountain ranges, unspoilt forests and high-altitude lakes, this mountain village offers an unrivalled natural setting.

It was in the 1920s that the village began its meteoric rise, thanks to the impetus of Noémie de Rothschild, who wanted to turn it into a French “Saint-Moritz”. For decades, the family invested in the ski resort, attracting large numbers of people who also contributed to its prosperity.

A harmonious blend of traditional-style buildings, luxury chalets designed by architect Le Même and farmhouses, Megève is appreciated for its unique architectural landscape. For decades, the ski resort has also been a popular meeting place for celebrities from all walks of life. It's not unusual to meet an entertainment celebrity or a well-known businessman.

In Megève, the mountains are king, allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of skiing in winter and hiking in summer. With alpine lakes and rivers in the vicinity, there's also plenty to do in the water, as well as relaxing on natural beaches. In addition, this 4-season resort attracts visitors for its lively downtown atmosphere, with hundreds of boutiques, a wide range of restaurants (3 of which are Michelin-starred), museums and art galleries.

The region and its real estate market

In Megève, the most sought-after area for prestige real estate investments is the center, for its village connections and the convenience of getting around on foot. Those looking for a secluded corner of mountain nature are more likely to choose the Mont d'Arbois district at the foot of the slopes, the Jaillet district with its superb view of Mont d'Arbois, or the Demi-quartier district with its panoramic view of Mont Blanc.

In general, buyers approach real estate agencies to purchase a luxury chalet or luxury apartment to enjoy for a few weeks or months a year. They also want to rent out their property during unoccupied periods. Prestige chalets from Sotheby's International Realty are the most popular, thanks to their often superior level of luxury and elegance: warm wood decor, spa, grounds, nature connections, etc.
