A mountain restaurant where emotion reigns supreme, Flocons de Sel is the gem of the beautiful hotel in which it's situated. The rooms are cosy and expansive, and the staff is super friendly.

Chalet Lupo is a cosy alpine hideaway just above the village, loved for its warm wood-clad interiors and breathtaking mountain views. Come for elevated Italian comfort dishes – the scialatielli with mullet bottarga and lemon zest or pappardelle with rich ragù are our top picks – best paired with a glass from the thoughtfully curated wine list after a day on the slopes.

If you're in Mégeve outside of the ski season, things can feel quite quiet, but we think that's actually a great thing. When the weather is nice, spend a day splashing about in Lac de Javen. Idyllic!
