Local knowledge

Request the split-level or mezzanine rooms if traveling with children; kids love the 'nest' sleeping areas and separate zones provide privacy for parents.
Book dinner at Le Simon restaurant in advance during peak seasons; ask Salvatore or Jean-Marc for wine pairings from the 40,000-bottle cellar.
Use the complimentary shuttle service to Megève center rather than arranging your own transport; staff coordinate pickups seamlessly.
