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.
A classic on-the-slopes mountain restaurant, Le Cœur d'Or is perched at 1,525 metres at the top of the Beauregard gondola, equally beloved by skiers in winter and hikers in summer. The rustic chalet serves generous Savoyard comfort dishes – including fondue, tartiflette, croûtes and pela – best enjoyed on the sunny terrace before carving back down. In the evening, it transforms into a cosy alpine experience reached by snowmobile, with set dinners and a magical descent under the stars.
