In Megève, Christmas is not just a winter interlude: it's a way of life, a unique atmosphere that envelops the entire village. From the end of November, the narrow streets light up and the snow becomes the natural backdrop for a living painting.

Megève Christmas tree on the square

The Messika Christmas tree

In the village square, the Christmas tree sparkles like an unmissable winter landmark in Megève. A true local tradition, its lighting brings together residents and visitors every early December in a festive and convivial atmosphere. For the past two years, this iconic event has been illuminated in partnership with Messika, the celebration's sponsor. Throughout the season, a sound and light show animates each evening, enhancing the tree and transforming the village square into a magical place.

Gourmet moments in the heart of Megève

In Megève, the gourmet break becomes a true winter ritual. When the snow covers the roofs and the air becomes crisper, we like to linger in the cozy tea rooms or pastry shops of the village, where the aromas of chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon linger.

It's a moment of comfort, a sweet interlude between two walks or on the way back from the slopes, where you share a steaming hot chocolate, a homemade pie or some local sweets.
