SLOW TOURISM IN THE ALPS: EXPERIENCE THE GREAT OUTDOORS

A RETREAT AT THE FOOT OF MONT BLANC, A PLACE TO SAVOUR THE MOMENT

There’s a place in Megève where time slows down. 

A hamlet perched at 1,100 metres altitude, home to eleven Megève-style chalets nestled in the snow or bathed in light, depending on the season.

L’Alpaga.
Here, a holiday in the mountains takes on a new meaning. An escape from the hustle and bustle and a return to life’s unhurried rhythms, in an alpine setting inspired by nature. Behind the curtains of a room conceived as sanctuary, sunlight traces its slow arc across a wooden ladder, a sepia photograph of some long-ago skier, an abandoned rucksack from a past ascent.
The makings of a day full of promise.

In the spirit of slow tourism, L’Alpaga offers a refuge for quiet contemplation – a place to reconnect with yourself, the natural environment and the region.
