Indie Mountain
Indie Mountain is the predecessor of the famous Indie Beach formed from Vincent Luftman, Raphaël Blanc and Tobias Chaix who spent their childhood, together, rocked by the Mediterranean sweetness and effervescence of Saint-Tropez. A project "against the tide" of show off addresses, the three natives want to carry by the desire to "break the codes" by proposing a "new approach to restoration". Successful bet for Indie Group, the three thirty-year-olds who re-eed the experience - after having invested the beach of Pampelonne with Indie Beach - in the mountains this time.
The interior boasts aspects of the traditional chalet style with a wooden, comfortable but highly festive setting, welcoming their guests day & night. You will tartan tapestries on which attachments are exposed to the assumed kitsherieIt.
Sit there with friends to taste the mountain specialties concocted by the young media chef Diego Alary, such as his puff soup with morels or his twisted tartiflette. A friendly and gourmet vision of alpine dishes, all carried by a benevolent staff and a sharp sound signature - orchestrated by the musical label of the Indie House Records restaurant - that invites you to the party! "A few good pieces" associated with a tasty menu: this is the recipe of the trio that makes summits the rallying point of cool, beautiful and good.

Walk around Megeve town, hopping in and out of shops, restaurants and wine bars.
Go to any of the restaurants, grab a coffee and people watch – it’s so cozy!
Take the cable car to the top of Rocheburn (even if you don’t ski). It’s about €20, but worth every penny. The view is phenomenal and I think experiencing the apres ski culture in these towns is just necessary.
In terms of shopping, I was truly blown away by Megeve’s offerings. It’s a luxury shopping haven.
Spa day – Les Fermes de Marie has an excellent spa.
