PC74 · Megève
Your English-speaking IT technician in Megève
Megève runs on discretion: beautiful chalets, family offices, hotels where everything must simply work. When the tech doesn't — the WiFi in the far wing, the printer before contracts, the Mac with fifteen years of photos — you want it fixed quietly, competently, and without the machine leaving the house.
I'm PC74, an independent technician based in Cluses, 40 minutes away. I work at your place, explain in English or French as you prefer, and agree the flat rate before starting. No shop counter, no waiting list, no surprises on the invoice.
I serve the whole Megève area — the village, Mont d'Arbois, Rochebrune, Demi-Quartier and up the Jaillet — year-round, including the deep off-season when the house is empty but the tech still needs preparing for winter.

Areas
Where I work in Megève
Village centre
Apartments and businesses around the médiéval square: quick visits, often same-day when I'm doing a Sallanches-Megève round.
Mont d'Arbois & Rochebrune
The chalet slopes — big properties where WiFi has to cross stone walls, spa levels and home cinemas.
Demi-Quartier & Combloux side
Residential areas between Megève and Combloux, lots of year-round families.
Le Jaillet & Odier
Upper chalets with private tracks; managed properties I often visit in coordination with staff.
Streets and places covered
Rue Charles Feige, route Edmond de Rothschild, chemin du Maz, route du Jaillet, route de Rochebrune, Demi-Quartier and the roads towards Combloux and Praz-sur-Arly. House staff, concierge or agency keys are all routine.
Businesses and professionals in Megève
Hotels and their guest networks; restaurants and boutiques with tills that cannot fail in February; property managers running a dozen chalets each; and family offices where the printer, the NAS and the video-conference setup are quietly mission-critical.

Local tip
Prepare the house before the season, not during it
The worst time to discover the chalet WiFi can't handle twelve devices per guest is the 27th of December. The best time is October: I audit the network, the backups and the ageing machines while the house is quiet — one visit, flat rate, and the season runs itself.
Recent jobs in Megève
Chalet manager
Twelve properties, one tech contact
A Megève property manager now sends me one WhatsApp per problem, across all the chalets in her portfolio. Photos, fix, invoice per property — her owners never hear about IT problems, which is exactly the point.
Hotel
Front-desk PC cloned before it died
The reception machine had been 'making noises' for weeks. Cloned to an SSD during the night shift, swapped before breakfast — zero downtime, and the old disk failed for good two weeks later, in a drawer.
Family
The photo library reunited
Fifteen years of family photos scattered over four Macs, two clouds and a broken external drive. Everything gathered, de-duplicated, and set to back itself up automatically. One library, three copies, no more anxiety.

Frequently asked questions in Megève
Can you work with our house staff? +
Of course — most Megève visits are arranged with a house manager, concierge or agency. I fit the household's schedule, document what I did, and invoice however suits the property's accounting.
Do you speak English? +
Yes, and a fair number of my Megève clients prefer it. Diagnosis, explanations and invoices all available in English.
Is our data safe with an outside technician? +
It never leaves your house — that's the whole model. I work in front of you (or your staff), touch only what the repair needs, and I'm happy to sign an NDA for family-office environments.
Can you make WiFi cover a large chalet properly? +
Yes: mesh systems dimensioned for stone walls, spa levels and cinema rooms, with a separate guest network. It's the most-requested job in Megève and it transforms daily life in the house.
What are your rates? +
The same flat rates as everywhere I work — from €60, agreed before starting, travel fee announced upfront. Megève pricing is a thing in many trades; not in mine.
