Hotel Les Fermes de Marie, Megeve

Description

One thing is certain about this luxury ski hotel in Megève in the Mont-Blanc region of Haute-Savoie. You’ll feel right at home amongst the luxe surroundings, five star standards and service and dreamy Alpine views.

Hotel Les Fermes de Marie has an intriguing history too. The luxury hotel rooms, suites and chalets high up in the hills of the French Alps are made up of authentic former alpine farmhouses. They were taken apart beam by beam, numbered and then painstakingly put back together piece by piece in a picturesque three acre park.

Relaxing on your own private balcony, gazing out at the snow topped mountains, you get a real feel for life as it once was for the farming families who made their homes here in the Alps. Although, naturally, your own experience will be no less than five star at all times on your luxury ski holiday here, with copious glasses of bubbly, gourmet meals courtesy of three top class hotel restaurants and luxury en-suite bathrooms!

Rustic woods frame those stunning aged beams and luxurious décor, whilst fabrics and tones set the scene for total relaxation at this luxury ski hotel in the French Alps.

But, wait, there’s more. Grab a robe and slippers and pad down to the Pure Altitude Spa. It offers a fitness room, hair salon, extensive treatment rooms, two indoor swimming pools indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, sauna and steam room.

Guests can enjoy cooking classes in the Atelier. There are three excellent hotel restaurants and an exclusive remote mountain dining experience offered at L’Alpage in milder months.

Megève itself offers classic Alpine charm, with winding streets, pretty shop fronts and Instagram-worthy Savoyard architecture. But we wouldn’t judge you for never setting foot outside your personal Alpine hideaway during your luxury ski holiday.
