Though we don't often find ourselves shopping when we're on a ski holiday, we always make an exception for ByMahe. This little boutique has a fab selection of fun, chic women's clothing.

One of the oldest jazz clubs outside Paris, Club les 5 rues is a Megève classic. Pop in and become part of festive local nightlife.

This temple of alpine gastronomy compiles the best of French, Italian and of course Savoyard produce. Including a game pâté with porcini mushrooms, a mixture of fondue from Maître Boujon or a fish soup from the Alpine lakes.

Victoire at the Arcades du Mont-Blanc is a long-time Megève favourite, curated by Carole Pozzallo – who brought her vision from Paris to the Alps with a singular rule: exclusivity. Her instinct-led selection spans men’s and women’s collections, from the house’s own line of perfectly cut holiday-leaning essentials to an unexpected mix of often-Italian designers chosen for their love of craft and style.
