WHEN CHANEL COMES TO MEGÈVE. ❄️ Some places n WHEN CHANEL COMES TO MEGÈVE. ❄️ Some places never go out of style. Neither does CHANEL. For its COCO NEIGE 2026/27 campaign, the French fashion House chose Megève as the backdrop for its latest interpretation of Alpine elegance. Think snow-covered chalets, bold winter silhouettes, playful accessories and that unmistakable CHANEL touch. But beyond the fashion, there's something about this setting that feels particularly fitting. With its mountain heritage, timeless architecture and distinctive art de vivre, Megève has long embodied a certain vision of Alpine life — one where tradition and elegance naturally meet. A little mountain magic. A lot of CHANEL. And a beautiful reminder that the Alps continue to inspire some of the world's most iconic fashion Houses. 📷 CHANEL — COCO NEIGE 2026/27 Courtesy of @chanelofficial 🇫🇷 CHANEL PREND DE L'ALTITUDE À MEGÈVE. ❄️ Pour sa campagne COCO NEIGE 2026/27, CHANEL a choisi Megève comme décor de sa nouvelle interprétation de l'élégance alpine. Chalets enneigés, silhouettes hivernales audacieuses, accessoires espiègles et codes emblématiques de la Maison : la montagne se réinvente sous le regard de CHANEL. Un choix qui fait particulièrement écho à l'identité de Megève, où patrimoine montagnard, architecture traditionnelle et art de vivre se rencontrent depuis des générations. Une belle illustration de la manière dont les Alpes continuent d'inspirer les plus grandes Maisons de mode. Et vous, que pensez-vous de cette collection ? Un détail, une silhouette, un coup de cœur ? 🤍 #CHANEL #CocoNeige #Megeve #AlpineStyle #FrenchAlps
This is why I love autumn 🍂❄️🐮 The firs This is why I love autumn 🍂❄️🐮 The first snowfall, cows resting peacefully beneath a tree, and that magical moment when autumn meets winter. I spotted them from the road and just had to stop. If I could have, I would have sat there with them for a while, simply taking in the beauty of this first snowy landscape. There's something so healing about animals and nature. It's hard to explain, but after this little encounter, my heart felt so full. So grateful to have witnessed this first glimpse of winter, right in the middle of a beautiful Alpine autumn. And just like that, the snow is gone, the sunshine is back, and autumn carries on. 🍁 Sometimes, the simplest moments stay with us the longest. 🤎 #snowing #wintervibes #naturelovers #mountainlovers #FrenchAlps

IN THE ALPS, HERITAGE HAS A MANE AND A STORY WORTH IN THE ALPS, HERITAGE HAS A MANE AND A STORY WORTH TELLING. 🐴 In Megève, the bi-annual Concours aux Poulains brings horses, breeders and living mountain traditions together in a celebration of Alpine heritage. Among them is the Cheval de Megève, a local mountain horse traditionally bred in the region. Hardy, sure-footed and well adapted to the Alpine environment, it was once valued for farm work, transport and life on steep mountain paths. Today, it remains a symbol of Megève’s rural identity and the knowledge passed down by local breeders. Here, every braided mane, gentle gaze and proud step reflects a way of life passed down through generations. Far from the ski slopes and glamorous chalets, this is another story of the Alps. One rooted in the land, its people and the traditions they continue to preserve. And one we think is worth sharing 🤎 📍 Megève, French Alps 🇨🇵 À LA RENCONTRE DU CHEVAL DE MEGÈVE 🐴 À Megève, le traditionnel Concours aux Poulains fait vivre une autre facette de l’art de vivre alpin : celle des chevaux, des éleveurs et d’un patrimoine vivant transmis de génération en génération. Parmi eux, le Cheval de Megève, une race locale traditionnellement élevée dans la région. Robuste, sûr de pied et parfaitement adapté à l’environnement alpin, il était autrefois apprécié pour les travaux agricoles, le transport et les déplacements sur les chemins escarpés de montagne. Aujourd’hui, il reste un symbole de l’identité rurale de Megève et des savoir-faire transmis par les éleveurs locaux. Chaque crinière tressée, chaque regard doux et chaque pas fier racontent une tradition profondément ancrée dans la montagne. Une autre histoire des Alpes, tout aussi précieuse. #Horse #Megeve #cheval #FrenchAlps #MountainHeritage
Some places simply feel better in fall. 🍂 And A Some places simply feel better in fall. 🍂 And Auberge de la Maison might be one of them. At the foot of Mont Blanc, autumn in Courmayeur is that brief moment between seasons — when the forests turn gold while the first snow settles high above the valley. Days start outside, somewhere between a walk and absolutely no plan at all. Then come long afternoons by the fire, a swim overlooking the changing trees, dinner in the warmth of the chalet and the feeling that there is really nowhere else you need to be. Perhaps that’s what makes fall here so special. The mountains get quieter. And somehow, you do too. Would you stay here in fall? 📍 @aubergedelamaison · Courmayeur, Italy #Courmayeur #AostaValley #ItalianAlps #MontBlanc #FallMoood
Ever wondered why cows wear flowers when they go d Ever wondered why cows wear flowers when they go down from the alpine pasture? 🌸🐄 Every autumn, after spending the warmer months grazing high in the mountains, cattle make their way back down to the villages. In Austria, this centuries-old tradition is known as the Almabtrieb. But the flowers, ribbons and impressive bells aren't simply there to make the journey home look beautiful. Traditionally, when the summer in the high pastures had passed without serious accident or loss, the herd would return richly decorated — a way of celebrating and giving thanks for bringing both animals and herders safely home. Some cows wear elaborate headdresses made from flowers, fir branches, ribbons and greenery. In parts of Vorarlberg, these decorations are known as a Maja, while the leading cow can receive the most spectacular crown of all. Even the bells carry meaning. Beyond helping locate the animals in the mountains, tradition and folklore attributed a protective power to their sound, believed to keep evil spirits away during the journey down. And if tragedy had struck during the Alpine summer? Traditionally, the festive decorations could be left aside. So those extraordinary flowers tell a much deeper story than they first appear to. 🇫🇷 Pourquoi les vaches portent des fleurs pendant la désalpe ? 🌸🐄 Chaque automne, après plusieurs mois passés dans les alpages, les troupeaux redescendent vers les villages. En Autriche, cette tradition séculaire porte un nom : l’Almabtrieb. Mais fleurs, rubans et imposantes cloches ne sont pas de simples décorations. Traditionnellement, lorsque l’été s’est déroulé sans accident grave, les troupeaux sont richement ornés pour célébrer leur retour — et remercier pour une saison passée en sécurité dans les montagnes. 📍 Schwarzenberg, Bregenzerwald, Austrian Alps 📷 @tmrw.tours via @hotelhirschenschwarzenberg #Authentic #Cows #AustrianAlps #Mountainlovers #AlpineTraditions
