In Megève, summer is lived to the rhythm of the ringing of bells and the lapping of crystal-clear waters. While the song of the birds heralds the return of hot summer days, the alleys come alive, the terraces fill up and the marked trails are taken. Because throughout the summer, Megève offers you a thousand and one activities to make the most of these beautiful sunny days.
Smell…
The smells of summer are everywhere. They are in nature, the plates, the alleys of the village. Here you can breathe the pure mountain air, there the characteristic scent of cut hay, wild grass where children roll around with delight.
While the vegetation has reached its full maturity, the trees produce fruits and the flowers unique scents. Exacerbated by the heat and the wind, these smells bring all kinds of scents, immediately immersing you in an incredible summer atmosphere.
More than a season, summer is a bouquet of scents that delicately caress our nostrils where, upon contact, memories of childhood or adolescence resurface. Because in Megève, scents hold the strange power to make us travel in time.
Touch…
Pick up, touch, smell, brush, caress, feel… In Megève, summer offers a bouquet of unique sensations and unusual textures where your skin is like a border between you and nature. The grass of our green pastures that we like to graze with a wandering hand or in which we like to walk with our feet free. The glacial water of our streams that we love to enter with a chilly foot or in which we want to immerse ourselves. The tickling created by tall grass or the unexpected visit of a slightly too adventurous caterpillar. In Megève, touch is not just one sense, but several. He assures that you are not dreaming although you are in paradise.
Admire…
In summer, in a palette of lively shades, the landscapes explode with life. While the deep blue of the sky contrasts with the flamboyant green of the mountain pastures, the grandiose panoramas are colored with wild flowers, the marked paths are enriched with happy walkers and nature, luminous and teeming with life, appears as the most beautiful seasons. Such a marvelous season where the light floods, the scents pour out, the stars blaze, the heat crushes, the wind sweeps, the colors burst, the waves dance, the bodies turn brown, the eyes sparkle, the children play, the spirits relax, loves are born...
Taste…
In the sunny orchard, in the shade of the leaves, green apples adorn the branches of the trees. A few meters further on, the strawberries are playing hide and seek with the raspberries. Next door, the cherries blush at the sight of the tomatoes swarming in the vegetable patch. If spring is the season of flowers, summer is the season of fruits and vegetables. Although planted a few months ago, some are still waiting patiently while the most urgent are already delighting the taste buds of gourmets. Nature, within it, is also composed of many treasures. Aromatic herbs, medicinal plants or miraculous flowers, nature invites you to discover new flavors, some very old, admirably appreciated in the kitchen for their fragrant flavors and in medicine for their benefits. Just like our gastronomy, Megève's nature has not finished thrilling your taste buds.
Listen…
Summer looks at itself, but before that, it listens to itself. Sometimes all it takes is one sound to immediately immerse yourself in a summer mood. Sounds that marked your childhood, which revive memories, which tell stories or bring new ones to life. Listen. Listening to your own breath to begin with. Then listening to noises and sounds around you. Let yourself be surprised by the buzzing of bees gathering pollen from luminous flowers or by the song of birds reminding you that nature is at your fingertips. Let yourself be enchanted by the ringing of bells, the wind that makes the leaves whisper or by the laughter of hikers, who have come to enjoy the noisy silence. Because if you listen carefully, you will always hear a joyful summer melody in Megève.
