From the village center to Mont d'Arbois, from Rochebrune to Le Jaillet, from Combloux to Saint-Gervais — the radio that accompanies permanent residents, second-home owners, and regular visitors to Megève. In winter and summer, from the top of the slopes to the village terraces.
Megève is not a ski resort like others. With around 3,600 permanent inhabitants, the Savoyard village has cultivated for a century a singular mountain art de vivre — that of a ski resort developed in the 1920s by the Rothschild family as a French alternative to Saint-Moritz. Today, Megève remains a French reference for quality alpine tourism, rooted in its Savoyard authenticity while welcoming a loyal international clientele.
Three communities cross paths in Megève. Permanent residents — native Megève families settled for generations, tourism, restaurant, hospitality, real estate, and service professionals who keep the village alive year-round. Second-home owners — upper-middle-class Parisian, Lyonnais, Genevois, European families who own a chalet and return regularly, several stays per year. Loyal regular visitors — French and European clientele (Belgian, Swiss, British) who return every winter, and increasingly every summer, to the same hotels or same rental chalets.
This is where RMF makes full sense. For these three communities, RMF is the French radio that accompanies both ski days on Mont d'Arbois and summer hikes in the Val d'Arly — between chalet fireplaces and sun-drenched terraces of the Village Square.
RMF is listened to throughout Megève and its surrounding villages. The main listening areas:
Megève's seasonality sets the rhythm of local life. A 4-season resort, the village offers different listening moments depending on winter, summer, or in-between seasons — but always marked by the same standard of authenticity.
At 7:30am, at 8am, the village prepares for the ski day. Bakery, café in the village, family briefing. RMF accompanies the morning with the éphéméride, horoscope, a morning program that sets up the day — before the first cable car of Mont d'Arbois or Rochebrune.
A break at an altitude restaurant, lunch on a terrace facing the Mont-Blanc, a last pass through the Jaillet snowpark. RMF plays in the background — Un jour dans l'histoire, the éphéméride, the daily columns. Discreet but present.
5pm, 6pm. Back from the slopes, fireplace, mulled wine, raclette being prepared. RMF accompanies — Les reprises qu'on aime at 6pm, Branchouille at 9pm. For family evenings at the chalet, drinks with friends, dinners that stretch on.
Summer in Megève has gained growing importance. Friday market, morning hikes from Rochebrune, golf at Mont d'Arbois. RMF accompanies the summer awakening of the village — for breakfasts on terraces facing the peaks.
Summer in Megève is also the Jazz festival, open-air concerts, terraces coming alive. RMF accompanies these altitude evenings — Branchouille at 9pm, 70's-80's on Friday night, a musical program for dinners at sunset over the Aravis.
At the chalet, driving to Geneva or Lyon, working remotely facing the Mont-Blanc, in remote meetings from Megève — RMF is available live all day. On the web, via the app, on CarPlay, Android Auto.
