Think the French Alps are only for winter? Think again.
As summer draws to a close, there is still time to experience a different side of the French Alps. In Megève, green alpine meadows, mountain trails, cycling routes and long lunches replace the winter slopes, a season filled with adventure, relaxation and the unmistakable charm of Haute-Savoie.
Adventure in the Mountains
Summer in Megève is made for exploring. Hike through alpine landscapes with views towards Mont Blanc, discover the mountains by e-bike, or take things up a notch with tandem paragliding, via ferrata or canyoning.
Travelling with family? Mountain biking, horse riding, adventure courses and a four-season luge offer plenty of ways for younger travellers to enjoy the Alps too.
Slow Down and Savour Megève
Not every day needs to be an adventure. Spend the afternoon at a spa, wander through the village, enjoy a leisurely lunch or settle down for an Alpine apéritif. From local cheeses and traditional Savoyard specialities to refined mountain dining, gastronomy is just as much a part of the Megève experience as the mountains themselves.
The beauty of summer here is the balance: adventure when you want it, relaxation when you need it.
Your Alpine Retreat: Chalet Black Mountain
After a day exploring Megève, having somewhere special to return to makes the experience even better. Chalet Black Mountain offers a comfortable and elegant retreat for families and groups, with four bedrooms, including a family bunk room, ideal for those travelling with children.
It is the perfect place to unwind after a day outdoors, gather over dinner and enjoy the quieter side of Alpine living.
Make the Most of Summer
Summer in Megève is about more than activities. It is about mountain mornings, long lunches, beautiful scenery and unhurried evenings. Whether your perfect day means paragliding above the valley, cycling through the mountains, exploring alpine trails or simply enjoying a meal with a view, Megève offers a summer escape that feels both adventurous and effortlessly refined.
Summer won’t last forever. Make Megève your last call for summer, and let ALPÉON arrange your perfect Alpine retreat.
