  • Linked to Megève over Mont d’Arbois.

    The mostly tree-lined ski area covers 263km of slopes, which extends to over 400km when the resorts of Les Contamines and Les Houches are included. The terrain mostly suits beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders, but there are some decent challenges for those with more experience – especially at Mont Joly and within the trees following fresh snowfall. St Gervais itself boasts some fantastic spas – it was built up around its thermal baths in the 19th Century. There is a lively après scene, including the resort’s own La Folie Douce.

    Skiing and Snowboarding

    The ski area is ideal for beginners, despite there being a lack of dedicated nursery slope in the village. This lies up the hill at Le Bettex but is very good and gentle. Long greens then run down either side of Mont d’Arbois to St Gervais itself or over to Megève, offering fantastic progression. Intermediates can explore the entire area using the network of blues and reds to reach the far ends of the linked area and the villages of St Nicholas and La Giettaz.

    More advanced skiers and boarders should head into the woods to find great tree-skiing across the resort, or on sunny days should venture up into the upper bowls – these can hold good powder. A trip to Les Contamines is also recommended and experts of course have Chamonix just around the corner – purchase the full lift pass to access the world’s finest steep terrain.

    St Gervais Resort

    St Gervais is a pretty, 19th-century spa village set along a narrow gorge at the foot of Mont Blanc. It’s an urban but pleasant resort and is a cheaper alternative to nearby Megève and makes for a good base for exploring nearby resorts. There is a good choice of hotels, restaurants, shops, cosy bars and of course the thermal baths around which the town grew up.

    Restaurants are good and in comparison to across the hill in Megève, prices are much more reasonable. Après focuses on La Folie Douce, where the table dancing and live music kicks off as skiers begin to make their way back down the mountain.

    Getting There

    Getting here is very quick and easy, making this an ideal resort to visit for a long weekend. It is only an hour from Geneva by car, or around two hours by train, direct to the town. Chambéry is another option, with the drive taking around an hour and a half.
    • Geneva airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2 hours (by train)
    • Chambéry airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
    • Calais: approximately 10 hours driving (543 miles)
