Swords Travel Lifestyle Magazine Spring / Summer 2025

There’s a certain pace to Megève that’s impossible to ignore. Maybe it’s the sound of horse-drawn carriages gently clopping down the cobbled streets, or the scent of woodsmoke curling up from mountain chalets. Perhaps it’s the way the peaks seem to wrap the village in a quiet embrace, slowing everything down. Whatever it is, I felt it the second I stepped off the shuttle. I was here to explore Hotel L’Alpaga, a five-star hideaway nestled into the hillside. It’s the kind of place that balances rustic charm with modern luxury—warm, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. My Deluxe Room was a gorgeous introduction to the hotel, with natural materials, soft lighting, panoramic views of Mont Blanc, and an atmosphere that surrounds you. From the moment I arrived, it was clear food was going to be a highlight. Dining at La Table de L’Alpaga was a real treat. Each dish was a nod to the mountains—think earthy herbs, delicate flowers, and hints of fir. The award-winning menu plays with the elements—Earth, Water, Fire, and Air—bringing them to life in ways I never thought possible. The flavours were intricate and balanced, but the real magic came from the way each course made you feel like you were tasting the mountains themselves.
