Uniqueness
L'Ecrin de Megeve holds just 14 rooms and suites inside a chalet of warm wood and quiet proportions. Cobbled streets lead from the front door into the old village. The Jaillet ski lifts sit within reach, connecting to the wider Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area. Every corridor and corner feels scaled to a private mountain home, not a hotel.
The property can be privatised entirely from two nights, turning the whole chalet into a single-party refuge. This is a place built on discreet refinement, where the concierge shapes each stay around alpine adventures and moments of calm. L'Ecrin is experienced to the rhythm of the alpine seasons, from deep snow to summer wildflower trails.
activities at l'écrin de megève
The Jaillet ski lifts give direct access to the Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area. Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing on snowy plateaus, snowshoeing, and dog sleigh rides fill the winter days. When the snow melts, hiking trails cross mountain pastures above the village. Mountain biking, golf, and via ferrata run through the warmer months.
The concierge organises tailor-made itineraries, combining alpine adventures with wellness sessions back at the chalet. Each season reshapes what is possible from the front door.
