Megeve may be known to most as the go-to luxury ski resort nestled in the shadow of Mont Blanc
The instant feeling on arrival is that Megeve was made for skiing – which it essentially is as part of plans by Noémie de Rothschild to create a new ski resort.
Today, Benjamin and Ariane de Rothschild have transformed Mont d’Arbois into a true hotel group, with an offer of hotels, restaurants and high-altitude leisure activities. Involved personally in the field, they knew how to preserve the authenticity of the site by mobilizing the local craftsmen and by privileging a traditional architecture.
Upon discovering Mont d’Arbois, my grandmother, Noémie de Rothschild had a wonderful intuition. It’s up to us to live his legacy, making sure we always stay one step ahead.

The name Megève itself comes from the Celtic name Mageva which means ‘village on water’ making it the perfect place for farming.
The medieval-style square, narrow cobbled streets, and heritage-hailing family businesses all tell a story of its history.
It is an experience like no other, to get so close to the magnificent mountain named “Mont Blanc” that is the highest peak in western Europe.
There is no denying Megève is the perfect ski destination, but it also has a hearty soul and history that goes well beyond its snowy peaks to provide an equally luxurious summer retreat.
Megeve will leave you with an experience you’ll never forget.
Mike BEAUDET knows the place very well since 1978 when he created Ski Pros Megeve.
He’ll give you the best skiing experience for sure.
