Horse-drawn carriage ride
Megève sightseeing the wonderfully slow way!
Unique to Megève, the delightful tradition of horse-drawn taxis lives on in modern Megève! It’s a great way to see Megève at any time of year.
You’ll find the horses and carriages gathered around the central square by the Baroque-style church. A little ride out is the perfect antidote for tired legs after a hard day’s skiing or hiking and ideal for getting a lift back home after you’ve over-indulged on an evening out.
Shopping in style in Megeve
Make sure you have a look around the exquisite Allard department store. It’s in the heart of the cobbled village square near the church and it’s the epitome of elegance. There’s even a doorman to open the door and welcome you.
Owned by a long-established Megevan family, you will find a huge variety of clothing and accessories, this boutique opened in 1935!
Party at Folie Douce
Do the ‘altitude apres-ski’ party thing at the famous Folie Douce, at the summit of the Mont Joux chairlift. Although technically in neighbouring St Gervais, this place is certainly a favourite with the skiers from Megève.
Dance on the tables at 1958m until your ski boots can’t take any more and then very carefully ski back down as the lifts are closing. Surely THE place to be seen!
