Culture and Sports Events in Megève – A Winter of Traditions and Emotions

Winter in Megève is far more than a season — it’s a way of life. Between world-class competitions and timeless Alpine traditions, the village perfectly combines sporting excellence and authentic mountain charm.

Each year, snow lovers gather for major events such as the Freestyle Skicross World Cup, which electrifies the slopes, and the Jumping International, a must-see equestrian show on snow. The daring can also take on the MB Race, known as the world’s toughest mountain bike event, held in an exceptional winter setting.

Beyond the thrill of sports, Megève reveals a deep cultural soul. Strolling through its cobbled streets, visitors can discover baroque churches, mountain chapels, and the Calvaire site, an architectural gem that tells the story of the village’s spiritual and artistic heritage. The old chalets and preserved facades reflect a living history that continues to inspire.

Winter is also the perfect time to enjoy the region’s warm and gourmet traditions. Farm visits, snacks in cozy sheepfolds, horse-drawn carriage rides, or starlit dinners offer authentic moments of sharing close to nature.

Music also plays a key role in Megève’s cultural life. Festivals, concerts, and performances light up the cold season, including the Classicime Festival and other events hosted at the Palais Megève, just steps from Les Loges Blanches 4*.
