Though it may not be as frequented as some other Alpine destinations, we probably love Megève the most. It is one of the most magical places we know.
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.
Le Piaf brings the exuberant spirit of its Parisian namesake to the Alps in a theatrical chalet imagined by Dion & Arles. Inside, brushed softwoods, embroidered alpine textiles, hanging rugs, vintage chandeliers, and corduroy velvet create a cocooning, mountain-chic setting around the fireplace. Start your evening by the piano bar with cocktails and refined small bites – taramas, mini croque-monsieurs, and smoked salmon – before settling into the restaurant for comforting French classics such as foie gras salad, roast chicken in jus, beef tenderloin with fries and a decadent chocolate mousse.
