Few mountain resorts in Europe have maintained their identity as deliberately as Megève. While other ski destinations expanded aggressively through the latter half of the twentieth century, Megève chose restraint. The result is a village that still feels like a village: low-rise, walkable, and built around a medieval church square rather than a lift station. For the traveler arriving in a luxury hotel suite here, that coherence is immediately legible. You are not in a purpose-built resort. You are in a place with a century of considered taste embedded in its stones.
