Four Seasons Megève – Golf with Spectacular Views

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!

I’m obsessed with the Venice Simplon experiences.  Be wined and dined in meticulously restored 1920s dining cars, before raising sparkling toasts in iconic Bar Car ‘3674’. Between plush cabins and profound history, an astonishing journey awaits. The iconic train recently unveiled a new class of cabin called Suites. Eight suites built on two original train carriages from the 1920’s and 1930, with four suites in each car. Each have a private marble bathroom and lounge. Twenty-four-hour butler service enhances your Journey. Navigate through the opulent carriages to discover the enchantment that await aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
