Saint Gervais is a 19th century spa resort situated at the foot of Mont-Blanc. It is 70km from Geneva, 24km from Chamonix, 11km from Megeve, 10km from Sallanches and 4km from Le Fayet. It offers all the beauty of a small Savoyard town with traditional buildings, pedestrian areas and, being a year round lived in village it is full of life with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Market on Thursday morning, on the square, with free indoor car park, 300 spaces, next to the Tourist Office.
Le Fayet
is at the entrance to the resort and it is here you will find the Spa
that has benefited from the Mont-Blanc waters since 1806. There is also
a new Casino with a games room for your enjoyment. Market on Wednesday
morning on the Post Office car park. It is also in Le Fayet where you
will find the Mont-Blanc tramway (station also in St Gervais), France's
highest rack and pinion railway. It transports you through wooded glades,
mountain meadows and tunnels before reaching the glaciers just below Mont-Blanc
(in summer only). In winter the train terminates on the Bellevue plateau
allowing skiers and walkers to take advantage of the Les Houches ski area.
Le Bettex caters for all levels of skiers with 137 slopes, 24 green, 42 blue, 52 red, 19 black and 247 snow cannons. Although being part of such a huge ski domain, it is a resort that has yet to be discovered, you might easily find you have the slopes to yourselves. (Out of school holidays of course!).
People who have discovered this area do not then want to ski anywhere else. In the summer there are a great number of activities for all the family. The months of May June and September are a hikers paradise with good weather and few people about. July and August are more for families, with white water rafting, adventure parks in the trees, paragliding, swimming, tennis, golf, mountain biking and horseriding and much more.
Megeve is linked to St-Gervais via Mont d'Arbois cablecar. It is a 13th century traditional town with a beautiful medieval centre. The village heart is built around the medieval church and restored buildings set in a traffic free pedestrianised main square where brightly painted sleigh taxis can be hired and driven by local farmers. The four streets branching off the main square are lined with designer boutiques which attract non-skiers and there are many upmarket restaurants and bars. There is a market on Friday mornings. Free buses link the middle of town with the lifts and coaches run to other nearby resorts covered on the Evasion Mont Blanc ski pass.
