Ideally located on the Place du Clocher in the heart of Megève, Hôtel Mont-Blanc's elegant decor is both extravagant and hushed. From the outset, you'll be enveloped by the softness of its lounges and suites, where a wildly chic sixties breeze blows in, and won over by the many and varied gourmet offerings.
10:00 am: Waking up in the heart of Megève Village
I enjoy my suite's refined, arty decor with a sense of privilege. Through the window, I watch the snow fall, covering the tinned copper scales of the bell tower and the huge fir tree, beautifully adorned as it is every year.
11h00: Stroll through the narrow streets of Megève
I'm off to stroll through Megève's charming cobbled streets, along the old bridge or the random squares, and lose myself in its elegant boutiques and trendy pop-up stores.
1:00 pm: Savoyard lunch at Relais Mont-Blanc
I return, delighted to curl up in a soft shepherd's hutch in front of the big fire, with a beautiful new book. Then I go next door to lunch at Le Relais. In the warm, restful atmosphere of patinated blond wood, I enjoy a mountain croque and a crème brûlée to die for.
3:00 pm: Relax at the Spa Pure Altitude
I head for the spa. An almost polar-like softness instantly envelops me, as do its white walls adorned with fur. I decide on the Beauté Glacée anti-aging treatment, Lift 4810, a nod to the summit of Mont Blanc, which combines a lifting facial massage with a body scrub and wrap... I pick up the phone.
5:00 pm: Taste Megève's best hot chocolate
I'm delighted to be back in the hotel's cosy lounges, with my own ready for après-ski. It's time to sample the in-house pastries for which the hotel is famous: mont blanc with grand cru hot chocolate for some, coffee éclair, lemon tartlet and signature tea for others.
7:30 pm: Sip vintage Champagne at Bar Les Enfants Terribles
I sip a vintage champagne, a Dom Ruinart 2009, at the counter of Bar Les Enfants Terribles. The lounges, with their mix of artists' pieces and vintage, are as lively as ever. Outside, the horse-drawn carriages continue to parade and the snowflakes to dance.

8:30 p.m.: Succumb to Savoyard cuisine again
This evening, I decided to succumb to a dish I'd spotted at lunchtime: a beef cheek braised for 8 hours in Arbin Mondeuse wine with creamy polenta. Knowing that a tour of the Mont Blanc and its cheeses and the simply irresistible dessert buffet await me afterwards.
