Resort description
Megève is one of the most elegant Alpine resorts in France, located in Haute-Savoie at an altitude of approximately 1,100 metres. In summer, it offers a mild mountain climate, abundant sunshine, and fresh, rarefied air, making it an ideal destination for wellness stays and outdoor recovery.
Les Fermes de Marie is an intimate luxury resort located in the heart of Megève, set within a private 2-hectare park, just 500 metres from a traditional Alpine village with historic mountain chalets. It provides ideal conditions for recovery from chronic fatigue, stress, sleep disorders, and reduced vitality. The mild climate, clean mountain air, moderate physical activity, and programmes at the Pure Altitude spa help gradually restore energy, balance, and overall wellbeing.

Le Spa Pure Altitude Wellness Centre
The wellness centre features 13 treatment rooms, an indoor family pool with a dedicated lap lane, an outdoor jacuzzi, dry and wet saunas, a steam room, Japanese cedar hot baths (ofuro), a birch relaxation room, a Technogym fitness area equipped for cardio, yoga, and Pilates, as well as a beauty salon.
The core philosophy of Pure Altitude is based on signature face and body treatments. All care rituals use natural products derived from Alpine plant extracts and essential oils. These wellness rituals combine remineralising and antioxidant properties from high-altitude botanical active ingredients.
