Check‑in breakfast & quick orientation at M de Megève
Light hotel breakfast, confirm ski‑day timings with concierge, request a late‑afternoon turndown and spa access for two. Calm, elegant start before picking up skis.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the M de Megève concierge to confirm slope access and the fastest lift to Mont d'Arbois so you minimize transfer time after rentals.
- Reserve a quiet corner table for breakfast or request room service if you'd like an intimate start in your suite.
- Tell reception you want a candlelit table for dinner later so they can note it and help with bookings.
Ski rental & premium fitting at Skiconcept
Pick up reserved skis/boots and any extras (helmets, heated inners). Insider fitting saves time and ensures peak comfort for a romantic mountain morning.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve your exact ski model and boot size in advance with Skiconcept to avoid queues—ask for performance or women’s-specific models if preferred.
- Request boot‑warming/insulating footbeds if you get cold easily—small upgrades make a big difference for holding hands on descents.
- Keep passports/IDs handy for rental paperwork; ask them to tag your bags so you can reconvene quickly after lunch.
Short transfer to the Mont d'Arbois / Rochebrune lifts
Quick transfer to the closest lift access (by taxi or hotel shuttle) and a brief warm‑up run before your full morning on the slopes.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the hotel for a short shuttle/taxi to the nearest lift to save time and preserve energy for skiing together.
- Take the scenic route when you step out—the village streets are pretty in the morning light and perfect for a quick photo.
- Store any non‑essentials at the lift station lockers so you can ski light and cozy together.
Full morning ski session on Evasion Mont‑Blanc (until 14:00 skiing as requested)
Enjoy the varied slopes of Mont d'Arbois / Rochebrune—pick mellow blue cruisers and a few scenic viewpoints for shared photo moments. Skiing scheduled to finish at 14:00 per plan.
Tips from local experts:
- Start with a warm, scenic blue run together to build confidence and enjoy the views—Mont d'Arbois has wide, romantic cruisers perfect for couples.
- Pause at a small mountain hut mid‑morning for hot cocoa or vin chaud and an intimate photo with the Alps behind you.
- Keep a small waterproof pouch for your phone to capture moments without risking cold or moisture; swap taking photos so both are in pictures.
Late lunch — entrecôte with fries at Super Megève
A relaxed, leisurely lunch centered on the house entrecôte and classic fries—perfect for refueling after the slopes with a local, convivial atmosphere.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for the entrecôte cooked to your exact preference (medium‑rare recommended for best tenderness) and request fries served piping hot.
- Order a bottle of Southern French or Savoie red (eg. Mondeuse) recommended by the server to complement the steak for a romantic shared bottle.
- Request a cozy table away from the bar area; tell them you’re celebrating your honeymoon—they often oblige with small touches.
Transfer back to M de Megève — quick freshen up
Return to your suite to change out of ski gear, drop skis/bags (valet or ski room) and prepare for a relaxing couples' spa.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the hotel’s ski room/valet so boots and skis are stored and dried while you enjoy the spa—ask concierge to handle the transfer.
- Plan a short hot shower and lightweight layers after skiing to enjoy the spa heat more comfortably together.
- If needed, request late bag collection from Skiconcept to avoid a second trip after dinner.
Couples spa ritual at M de Megève (special moment)
A dedicated couples' spa session: steam, pool, hot tub and a scheduled duo massage if you pre‑book. Intimate, warm and restorative—the highlight romantic moment of the day.
Tips from local experts:
- Pre‑book a duo massage or private spa slot through the hotel—request aromatherapy or a warming alpine oil for extra intimacy.
- Time the spa so you’re showered and relaxed before sunset; ask for a quiet, dimly lit corner of the spa area afterward for a private drink.
- Bring a lightweight robe from your room and keep phones off to fully disconnect and savor the moment together.
Golden‑hour stroll: Church square & village lanes
A gentle post‑spa walk through Megève’s historic center to catch the golden hour; pause at the church square for photos and window‑shopping in artisan boutiques.
Tips from local experts:
- Head to Église Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste plaza for warm, soft light on the church façade—perfect for a romantic photo together.
- Pop into a local chocolatier or pastry window for a small sweet treat to share while you stroll (buy one, share one!).
- Wear shoes with good grip—village cobbles can be icy in January; the walk is short but atmospheric and ideal for intimate conversation.
Pre‑dinner cocktail or wine — intimate hotel bar
Return for a rooftop or hotel bar aperitif (ask for a quiet table) to warm up and set the mood before your candlelit fondue dinner.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the bar to prepare a classic aperitif (Negroni or a local Génépi‑style digestif) and request a quiet corner or window facing the mountains.
- If you picked a specific bottle with lunch, this is a good time to finish it with a small cheese plate — ask sommelier suggestions.
- Keep this moment relaxed—use it to exchange small wedding/gift notes or vows to make the day extra memorable.
Romantic Savoyard fondue dinner (recommendation)
Recommended romantic option: a traditional Savoyard fondue in a cozy, candlelit setting—book a fireside table for two at Les Fermes de Marie for an intimate Alpine experience.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a fireside or corner table when booking at Les Fermes de Marie for ultimate romance; ask them to dim lights and set candles if available.
- Order the traditional cheese fondue (Savoyarde) and pair with a regional white (Roussette or Pinot Gris from Savoie) for a perfect match.
- Share the fondue slowly and pause between courses for photos—ask for a small house palate cleanser (apple or cornichon) to refresh between bites.
Nightcap walk back to M de Megève
A calm after‑dinner stroll back to your suite—enjoy the village lights and a final moment together before bed or a private turndown.
Tips from local experts:
- Take the short scenic route along the gently lit streets for a private moment; many shop windows are beautifully lit in the evening.
- Ask the hotel for a late turndown service (flowers or a small dessert on arrival makes a nice surprise).
- If you prefer, finish with a nightcap at the hotel bar—ask for a warm digestif like Génépi to finish the evening in alpine style.
