General information about Megève

Location and history of the resort.

The town of Megève was founded at the beginning of the 20th century and is considered one of the youngest towns in France. The history of Megève is closely linked to the Rothschild family, who transformed a remote, almost nameless settlement, practically just a station, into a fashionable resort.

In 1921, a luxurious hotel was built here, becoming a worthy competitor to the finest European resorts. Since then, Megève’s reputation as a ski destination has only continued to grow.

To understand where Megève is located, take a look at the map. The national border is very close, so you can easily visit Switzerland or Italy. As in other EU countries, the currency of France is the euro (EUR), and payments by Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted.
