Four Seasons Megève – Golf with Spectacular Views

Posted on by

Seasonal Offerings until November 1 this year, reopens May 2027. Enjoy direct access from the luxury resort to France’s oldest mountain golf course. Play 18 scenic holes at 4,330 feet with stunning views.

One of the most beautiful Four Seasons resorts, I’ve stayed in early summer at Megève on the slopes of Mont d’Arbois in the French Alps. It’s a mere 75 minutes from Geneva Airport. Four Seasons Resort Megève is a luxury resort with direct ski-in, ski-out access in one of France’s most prestigious mountain destinations. Awarded the coveted Palace distinction and inspired by the legacy of the Edmond de Rothschild family, the 55-room-and-suite resort offers year-round Alpine adventures, from skiing and snowboarding in winter to golf, hiking and outdoor pursuits in summer. Unwind at the region’s largest spa and enjoy gourmet dining, from French cuisine at Benjamin to Japanese Nikkei flavors at Kaito, with panoramic views of the Alps.

Open from May to October, the Mont d’Arbois Golf Course (Golf du Mont d’Arbois), was designed in 1964 by three-time British Open champion Sir Henry Cotton, making it one of the oldest and finest, alpine golf courses in the world. The 18-hole course is on a south-facing plateau at an average altitude of 4,331 feet. However, its uniform gradient makes it feel as though you’re playing on a flatland course. The gentle slope means you can focus full attention on your game, if you can take your eyes off the mesmerizing views! The course is situated on a south-facing plateau overlooking the village, offering unique panoramic views of the Mont Joly and Aravis mountain ranges. It features eco-friendly design principles, rolling greens, and tolerant roughs, with a gentle slope that makes it accessible to various skill levels.

Guests can enjoy on-site golf lessons with professional instructors, access to a driving range, and specialized golf packages that often include spa treatments and dining. The property serves as a year-round destination, transitioning from ski-in/ski-out access in winter to golf-in/golf-out convenience in the summer months.

Mark your schedule for next summer in the French Alps! The resort offers priority access to the nearby Mont d’Arbois Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course renowned as one of the finest in the Alps. Located just 3 kilometers from the hotel, the resort facilitates a seamless alpine golf experience!

The Reblochon of Savoy Farm Visit Megève

Posted on by

Stay at the Four Seasons Megève –  visit the Cheese farm, milk the cows, make Cheese, eat Cheese!

Reblochon of Savoy – AOC 1958 – AOP The Reblochon of Savoy is produced in Haute Savoie. Its name, the Rebloche, appeared in the 13th century, comes from a fraud that practiced the farmers not to pay too much rent. The second treats were thus subtracted from the general farmers. Much richer, this milk was better suited to the production of cheese. Before buying, check the color of the tablet. Because there are two kinds of Reblochon. The farmer Reblochon has a green pellet attached to his cheese. It is made with milk from a single farm just after milking. Only 133 farms produce them. Reblochon cheese is made in a cheese dairy with milk from several farms.

5:45 pm At the end of milking, the renett is added to the warm milk. After 40 minutes, the milk has been rendered into a semi-solid mass called the curd.

6:30 pm Using a slicing-curd, the farmer will cut the curd into small pieces the size of a grain of rice to a grain of corn.The Reblochon mussels are arranged and formed and covered with a linen cloth to allow a more homogenous dripping and to prepare the beautiful Reblochons crust.

7:30 pm A weight is then placed to each Reblochon, to aid in the shape and help them drip through the night.

5:30 am The Reblochon will be unmolded and placed in a salt water brine.
