Lots of well connected runs, snow wasnt great for the first week of Jan but still plenty of well piste-ed slopes at the top Expensive lunch options but to be expected Great for a mixed ability group, plenty of greens and nice easy blues but also plenty of reds and blacks

If youre looking for a relaxing and family freidly ski resort then saint getvais is the place for you. Boasting a wide range of restaurants on the mountain and in the village you wont be shy of some decent meals. The Folie Douce provides the only Apres Ski entertainment but this is only accessible on the mountain. There arent any places in the village to apres. Saint gervais is more aimed at beginners on the slopes and those that arent huge on the apres scene in the village. Making it perfect for families and couples not necessarily wanting to party. Overall the ski range is very good. The lift pass covers a huge distance and the free shuttle bus service is really good and very reliable. Saint gervais is a charming ski resort and village. If you get the evasion pass you can ski to multiple parts such as Megeve, saint nicolas and much more. As me and my girlfriend are both snowboarders the runs arent best designed for this as they are multiple flats and winding roads. The home run is a massive track down to the gondola.m and is very flat in parts. The other issue is that you have to get 2 gondolas to start your ski day. This can be very frustrating and time consuming. Theres plenty to do once you get up to the top but it does take a bit of time out of your day. Overall its a very good place to come skiing. Its worth trying out.

Brilliant for families as there are lots of ski schools with plenty of easier slopes taking you right across the mountain. Less for the experienced skier although the harder runs there are are good fun. Now always snowsure due to being quite low which means the possibility of skiing back into the main town is often patchy. Lots of good accommodation higher up though which has good access to the main lifts. Also, staying in town and using the main gondola or driving up the mountain make it more affordable as accommodation in town is cheaper. This has the bonus of access to better shops and restaurants etc.
