The two-Michelin starred restaurant Le 1920, 18-hole Mont d Arbois Golf Course, and the largest spa and kids’ and teens’ facilities in the region, make this property the ideal destination for families, friends and couples who appreciate premium quality. It is also the only hotel in Megève with its own in-house Ski Valet and Ski Concierge service.
