Built for elegance before ski lifts existed, Megève's medieval centre does horse-drawn sleighs, art galleries and patisserie counters like nowhere else in the Alps. Fifty kilometres of groomed winter footpaths wind through larch forest with Mont Blanc peeking between branches. Ride the Mont d'Arbois gondola up for lunch on a sun terrace and descend without a single moment of peril.
