Experiences in Megève
It doesn’t get better than Megève. Surrounded by immaculate mountain peaks, equally beautiful in the summer and winter, this alpine village will be sure to take your breath away from the moment you arrive.
Bespoke experiences
For all its sense of blissful isolation, Ultima Megève is just 10 minutes’ drive from the heart of Megève and the ski slopes. Whenever you, or anyone in your party, wishes to hit the slopes, take a guided tour of historic Megève or simply browse the boutiques and galleries of the sophisticated town, a chauffeur-driven vehicle will be ready to go.
And our team can get you right to the heart of the action with a raft of bespoke experiences, from a gourmet tour of the weekly farmer’s market in Mottaz Gardens with our chef, to a day’s reindeer herding with the children or white-water rafting along the glacier-fed Arve River in the summer months. We’re here to help create moments you’ll never forget.
