A WEEKEND IN...THE FRENCH ALPS

WHY GO?

Anyone who appreciates the spectacle of a good mountain range will be familiar with awe-inspiring Mont Blanc. Famed for its dramatic shape, the peak has been drawing adventurers, nature lovers and die-hard climbing fans for centuries, but of course, you don't need to be a climber to fall in love with this epic mountain. Close to the Swiss border, Megève is the perfect base for your very own alpine adventure. This quaint village provides everything you need for an idyllic winter escape. It's the perfect introduction to the awe-inspiring French Alps.

WHAT TO DO

Megève delights with cobbled streets, fountains, Christmas decorations and a central square filled with designer shops, as well as plenty of stores selling hand-crafted pieces. Once you've picked up a few last-minute Christmas gifts, take a horse-drawn carriage out of the village for incredible Mont Blanc views - the scenery is breathtaking with pretty wooden chalets punctuating snow-dusted fields.
