The Skiers' Guide to Saint Gervais Mont-Blanc

A fantastic resort with a sizeable ski area, which is only 1hr 15mins from Geneva airport. The Mont Blanc Evasion ski pass also covers additional areas which can be accessed by local bus. The Clotes 2000 ski area was well worth the visit. There are plenty of on piste restaurants offering quick snacks to traditional plates. The lift systems are very good except the single button coming back from Clotes 2000, however there appears to be plans to install a chair lift there in the near future. Apres ski is a little on the quiet side, but the Super Yo-yo bar has some great beers on offer and a dart board to throw some arrows. The Taj Mahal Indian restaurant is well worth a visit, and has plenty of options for the avid curry fan.
All in all my son and I had a brilliant time in Saint Gervais even though we were only there for 3 nights and would highly recommend it to anyone even if they can only manage a long weekend, however if you have more time there are plenty of other activities available like the thermal spa and ice skating all pretty central to the town.

Great resort large area to ski, great mix of runs for all levels. Only busy gondola was the first from saint gervais to the summit....only disappointment was this gondola didnt open before 9am

Fab resort , old school but amazing slopes, great local food and a fabulous outdoor spa to relax after.

The resort is honestly a new world you never want to leave moment I step foot it was like it was my home the luxury is amazing

We love Saint Gervais, have been skiing here since 2010 and the town and ski area has improved hugely over this time. The new telecabine is fantastic - no queues at all in the mornings even on new year week. Restaurants in town and on the mountain are great, loads of choice. Book ahead for busy weeks! It’s a real town with a lovely community and a great place to stay all year round.

Had a great dump of snow, even though first few days were low visibility, there was a decent amount still open and accessible. Powder was great! Blue sky days for the last few of our trip, so pistey beasties could do there thing and the groomed slopes have been fantastic! Not too crowded, not had to wait too long for lifts. Enough options of different graded slopes too.

Great resort and value for money when you buy the evasion ski pass with access to megeve, combloux and contimines as well! Lovely ski area and really quite runs outside school holidays!

I think this resort is perfect for beginners looking to gain skills I’m varied slopes. For a higher level skier the ski area in Saint Gervais is small. However the connections with megeve were great and opened up the piste options. There were also some great restaurants and bars this way, although perhaps a bit more expensive.

Great resort for groups of all abilities. Not a lot of snow yet so not everything open but still had a great time.

Love saint gervais!! Great value for money. First ski trip to France and already booked again for 2026. Great start to the season. Stayed 7 nights for around £640 and the transfer from geneva was beautiful!! We stayed in chalet les grets and found that it was pretty easy to get to the lifts from where we were HOWEVER i think it'd be better with a car. For January, there was a really good amount of snow and it wasn't too busy. Small queue for the lifts. Didn't take any lessons but they were around 100 euro per hour. Some of the lifts were a little outdated but overall great resort!!

Great place for skiing & boarding with a wide range of pistes, quiet night life but great atmosphere!

good fun, only there couple days but worth going if bit cheaper and with family and wanna eat out. nice town at the bottom asw

Love skiing here. Quiet slopes, clean and well kept. Beautiful slopes. Lovely bars and restaurants. All around lovely.

It was amazing! My family have a place there, quiet, got a folie do, night life not great but skiing is amazing

Lift system to get up to the slopes is very efficient following the upgrade. St Gervais is a pretty town with lots of restaurant and bar options but book ahead as they’re popular. Pistes are great for beginners and intermediate’s, well connected, connection to Megeve is also great and they have some fabulous tree lined runs over there, you can easily get over there,ski most of it and get back in the course of a day. Some nice slope side restaurants but quite expensive.

Great place. Go there regularly snd always enjoy it. A little less known than the more "boutique" resorts which is excellent! Would recommend.

Spent a long weekend in St Gervais with friends. Most of the accommodation is in town with the very efficient and recently refurbished cable car taking people to Bettex. You have a range of options from here to take you across the mountain. Theres the option to head over to Megève, with some great runs there too.

Accommodation choice in town is great and good value. Some great options for eating with some really high quality cuisine. You may need to book in advance on the evenings though. Its not dance on the tables busy, but you can find some lively spots if you look around. Nordique bar and 3 Musquetons were good fun.

Within 1.5 hours from Geneva, St Gervais is a great option for shorter breaks or families wanting good value.

Great ski resort with a variety of runs and terrain for everyone. Low altitude ski resort, not really ski in and out. Very friendly vibe on the slope and village. Not a party town but great if you like nice restaurants and a few beers in the local bars. Stunning views up the mountain.

Saint gervais is a hidden gem. A pretty functioning town rather than a resort. Enough ski terrain to keep most people entertained. Lifts are never that busy. Take a short bus ride up the valley to Les Contamines. You won't be disappointed

One hour drive from Geneva
Great unpretentious village.
Gondola rises right out of village.
Reasonable lodging.
