MAGIC MEGEVE: A UNIQUE
CHALET RENTAL IN THE ALPS

Chalet Magic Megève is without doubt one of the most exclusive chalets in Megève. It is also the most original of the luxury chalet rentals available in the Alps. You have to see it to believe it and imagine an authentic 18th-century farmhouse, with an annexe and mazot, packed with art, design, technology and comfort.

The Most Artistic and Original Luxury Chalet Rental in the Alps

Nothing on the outside hints at the host of unique immersive experiences on offer at Chalet Magic Megève. While respecting the exterior architecture of this Savoyard farmhouse, the couple behind this unusual project, who are keen on contemporary art and design, have designed each space and room in the chalet to make art accessible to all. By commissioning internationally renowned designers to create the chalet’s structural elements, the floors and walls, and the bedrooms and living areas, they have succeeded in producing a ‘magical’ place as much as a luxury chalet rental. Everything here is a source of wonder, surprise and curiosity. Hundreds of works of art and artistic installations decorate the premises. A wealth of originality and eclecticism that nevertheless combine to create a sense of unity, from the sculptural staircase by Mike Nelson to the hypnotic lighting by Conrad Shawcross, not to mention the sculptures and installations by Antony Gormley and Darren Bader.

Art of Living and Contemporary Art

The conventions of the traditional chalet have been turned on their head here, but the highest standards of luxury and the art of mountain living have been respected. With its ski-in/ski-out location and living room with its cathedral ceiling overlooking the sharp peaks of the Aravis mountains, Chalet Magic Megève is just a few minutes’ drive from the hub of Megève, with its pedestrianised streets, bars and restaurants and excellent après-ski facilities. The 1,100m² surface area can accommodate up to 22 people in the 10 ensuite bedrooms. Each has its own artistic identity. A children’s bedroom with a postcard view, a master bedroom adorned with works by Eva Kotátková, a room designed as a tribute to Jean Cocteau, and so on. There’s something for everyone.

Immersive Experiences and Bespoke Services

The experience is both artistic and sensory. All the facilities at Magic Megève, from the wine cellar with its hundreds of prestigious references to the spa with swimming pool, sauna, steam room, light therapy, cryotherapy and massage room, provide unparalleled sensory experiences. Culinary and gastronomic experiences, of course: a private Italian chef trained in the finest establishments, assisted by his second-in-command, will concoct gourmet meals for you, while a butler, sommelier and bartender are on hand to help you enjoy cocktails and fine wines. You’ll also enjoy wellness experiences like no other, with a massage therapist and a shaman working in the chalet to offer you a wide range of treatments, including Human Tecar physiotherapy, an exclusive first for a private chalet. Last but not least, sporting experiences, with a private ski instructor just waiting for you to set off and discover the ‘Evasion Mont Blanc’ ski area. At the same time, our concierge service can guide you through the multitude of outdoor activities on offer in the charming resort of Megève. At the chalet, the high-tech ski room with its innovative ski clinic and a gym where yoga classes can be organised complete the sporting dimension of the Magic Megève experience.

Another distinctive feature of this decidedly unique venue is that it can also be privatised for one-off events, in both winter and summer. Not far from there, in the same Princesse sector, the more traditional Chalet Magic Megève Bois complements the mountain offering of these ‘Magic Collection Retreats’, which are also available by the sea in Forte dei Marmi and Ibiza, and an urban setting in Milan. The aim is always the same: to offer unique holidays and an approach to hospitality that gives pride of place to art, gastronomy, wine and treatments for body and soul.
