Chamonix and Megève, though separated by just 35 kilometres of alpine roads, embody two complementary visions of the French mountains. Chamonix is the domain of mountaineers and extreme skiers, with its glaciers, towering granite walls and the imposing shadow of Mont-Blanc. Megève, by contrast, cultivates refined alpine living since the Baroness de Rothschild made it an elegant alternative to St. Moritz in the 1920s. The village retains authentic charm with its wooden chalets, Savoyard bell tower and pedestrian streets lined with luxury boutiques. Its Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area offers 445 kilometres of pistes, while gourmet tables including Emmanuel Renaut's three-Michelin-star Flocons de Sel elevate the dining scene. The taxi ride between these two legendary resorts is one of the shortest and most picturesque in the region, crossing pastoral Mont-Blanc country landscapes.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Chamonix → Megève route
The D1205 between Saint-Gervais and Megève is a mountain road with hairpin bends that can be snowy and icy in winter. Our vehicles are always fitted with winter tyres and carry snow chains, and our drivers are experienced alpine road users. In high season (Christmas, February, Easter), Megève centre is pedestrianised and traffic is heavily regulated — taxis are the most practical way to get there as drivers have access permits. Parking in Megève is expensive and scarce in season — the taxi frees you from this entirely.
