Skiing in Saint Gervais les Bains

Nestled in a narrow gorge beneath the towering Mont Blanc Massif, St Gervais is part of the vast Evasion Mont Blanc ski area – linked to Megève over Mont d’Arbois.

The mostly tree-lined ski area covers 263 km of slopes, which extends to over 400 km 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.
