Dog sledding runs through the valley. Children feed reindeer at Domaine le Coulairon, a herding farm in the snowy peaks above Megève.

On clear evenings, a heated teepee hosts fondue suppers reached by snowshoe. In summer, the alpine garden blooms around the chalets.

Gastronomy

Le Restaurant des Fermes sits at the heart of the main chalet. The kitchen follows the market, cooking simple and authentic products that change with the season. Mountain cuisine here means direct flavours, not elaborate technique.

Six more venues surround it. Le Carnotzet is a wood-and-tile cheese room built for fondue and raclette devotees. L'Alpage des Fermes serves summer table d'hote meals in the mountain pastures, preserving the soul of traditional Savoyard alpine life. Le Vieux Megeve is an institution in the village centre. Le Relais Mont-Blanc, on Place du Clocher, brings the cuisines of Italy, Savoy, and Switzerland onto one plate. Le Beef Lodge fills its dining room with wood, warm hangings, and trophy mounts. On winter evenings, a heated teepee hosts Savoyard fondue, diots, and homemade desserts.

Wellness

The Beauty Farm opened in 1990, one year after Les Fermes de Marie created the first mountain spa in the French Alps. That founding vision still defines the space. Five natural elements, woods, water, fire, stone, and plants, shape every treatment and every room.

An underground passage leads from private chalets to the spa level. Guests surface into a swimming corridor, dry sauna, wet sauna, hammam, and hot and cold Japanese water baths. Indoor and outdoor jacuzzis face the mountain skyline. An outdoor sauna sits in alpine air. Named treatments include Snow White, Energetique des Alpes ritual massage, and Bol d'Air Pur. Pure Altitude, the hotel's own cosmetic brand, uses alpine botanical ingredients across every protocol. Private chalets hold their own jacuzzi, sauna, and massage table.

Sustainability at Les Fermes de Marie

Les Fermes de Marie roots its identity in the alpine landscape of Megève. The Sibuet family built the estate from reclaimed Savoyard farmhouse timber, preserving the working character of mountain structures that might otherwise have disappeared. This material stewardship reflects a deep connection to place rather than a certification framework.

Pure Altitude, the in-house cosmetic line, sources botanical ingredients from the surrounding Alps. The estate's alpine garden supports seasonal planting, and kitchen sourcing follows the market, reducing transport distances. Detailed environmental data is not publicly available.
