Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your project

Why is Megève more expensive than the Vosges?

International renown (historic Rothschild clientele), Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area (445 km of pistes), quick connection to Geneva (1 hour by car). Also: scarce land (very strict local planning regulations to preserve village character).

Is skiing secure in Megève over the next 30 years?

The Mont d’Arbois domain peaks at 2,350 m. The season is shorter than Chamonix (4 reliable months vs 5-6 months). The resort invests €12M/year in snowmaking. Long term: moderate risk.

What is the difference compared to Courchevel?

Megève is more discreet, more family-oriented, more authentic village. Courchevel is more international, more visible (Russian, Middle East), more focused on intensive skiing. Values per square metre are similar but buyer profiles differ.

Is there a summer market in Megève?

Yes, with strong growth. Short-term summer rentals (July-August): €18K-€35K/week for prestige chalets. Polo season, Jazz Festival, Mont-Blanc 4810. Our Alps concierge service manages this.
