Saint Gervais Mont-Blanc Reviews & Ratings

Me and my friend booked a last minute trip quite spontaneously. We wanted somewhere cheap but that was still going to be fun and that’s exactly what we got! We booked through Heidi which was super easy from start to finish. I’d recommend to anyone wanting a short getaway for a relatively small price. The slopes were not too busy and there was still plenty of snow. Lots of fun scenic routes to go down. We are already planning our trip for next year!

We went to Gervais in February half term as it was the only time we could get away from work. We stayed right at the bottom of the mountain and got the gondola by the train station up to the top. Although it was not the snow covered town or villages, we may have stayed before, it kept to our budget and the hotel was still fantastic and had everything we needed.

We are both beginner to intermediate skiers enjoying blues and reds. As we went in February half term at times some of the lifts were busy but nowhere near as busy as we had expected, which was good there was a really good mix of runs and choice of routes. We have only been to flaine and Borovets previous and this was really
Big compared to them. There was a high avalanche risk when we went, so we kept to main pistes so I haven’t given a rating to any off
Piste areas but it looked like it was good.

One of the days we went over to the other side of the mountain and escaped the busy areas skiing some really Nice quiet tree lines. Overall it was a fantastic break. It would have been nice to have a ski in ski out hotel but also good that we found one within budget but still with very easy links to the top. We stayed out all day anyway and only returned to our hotel in the evening. One of the nights we used the hotel swimming pool but to be honest, we were both shattered and often just got an early night to get up to the first lift up in the morning. We also chose this place as it was only around an hour from the airport in the transfer, whereas some of them were very far.

First time to Saint Gervais, visited during peak season in Feb school holidays but wasn’t too busy compared to other resorts.
Found there to be distinct lack of groomed runs which didn’t realise before booking.
Apres ski is non existent and also a lack of restaurants, spent first night wandering place to place to find somewhere to eat. The following evenings we kept booking in advance.

Vast ski domaine. Beautiful place. We were unfortunate with the weather (foggy, snowy most days). Busy because it was half term, but well managed considering the crowds. Pistes were well groomed.

Great stay booked through Heidi really efficient transfer from Geneva. Lovely resort and loads of ski runs. Quite pricey to eat and drink though.

Fantastic resort.. really accessible with efficient lifts and great tree lined runs. Brilliant time as well over the far side of megeve which was really quiet and had some amazing runs. Fantastic views over to Mont Blanc. Definitely be back!

Always drive over, takes 12 hours drop door. Stunning pretty family resort, excellent facilities and loved every minute highly recommended.

Went skiing over Christmas, town was beautiful and lovely restaurants. Short train from chamonix. Apres is really good, big ski down after

Great array of slopes, loads to choose from, plenty of mountain restaurants for lunch, lovely town to stay at. Will come again!

First time snowboarding since i was 12 has been a holiday of a lifetime will definitely be back. Slopes are well maintained tho they do get busy as the day goes on.

For a beginner skier the resort was fantastic, great long green runs, instructors were brilliant and the slopes were fairly quiet too. Suited for all ski capabilities with plenty of options from green - black runs all over the resort.

Hidden gem !! Quite ski resort, linked to Megeve. Extensive other local areas by car. Fun, affordable skiing!!

Just got back from Saint-Gervais and it’s actually such a good option if you don’t want to spend a fortune. Probably one of the cheaper ski trips I’ve done, but still really decent skiing. Slopes were way quieter than I expected too, which was a nice surprise.

That being said, it’s definitely more on the chilled side. If you’re going for more of a fun, party atmosphere you’d probably be better off in one of the bigger resorts. There was a Folie Douce that was easy access but a little far if you’re skiing back to Saint Gervais town which I wouldn’t recommend.

It was also hard to just walk into places for food in the town without a booking. We got caught out a couple of times, so I’d recommend booking ahead if you can.

Overall though, it’s a really nice spot, especially for families or if you just want something a bit more relaxed.

Lovely place with epic views and great runs. Very close to Chamonix if you want more big mountain options.

Great place, with plenty to do on and off the slopes, A great bonus was the spa with free gondola to it

Amazing place cant wait to go back next year..family friendly. Excellent slopes something for everybody.

We stayed in an all inclusive hotel in st Gervais. The gondola up to the ski area was easy and only busy on the weekend.
The ski area was vast, with some absolutely gorgeous runs and so much variety (perfect for a nervous skier like myself). The runs were quiet (even on the weekend), and the greens and blues down through the trees were heavenly - I even managed a couple of red slopes.

We had some fantastic piste side meals, and many happy hours on the quiet slopes. The views were incredible and the range of pistes and distance you could travel has left us with more to explore.

The only downside is the altitude - we were lucky that there had been a big dump the weekend before we arrived so snow quality was good. I imagine it could become very patchy, especially on the sunny facing slopes.

Saint Gervais is reasonably quiet on weekdays, plenty of long runs of various difficulty. A lot of the black runs are mogul fields!

Loved the resort. Very big resort and quiet slopes when we went. Lots of options for accomodation which werent over priced and we stayed in a lower area but gondolas up to the slopes were efficient and well linked

Average resort, too many runs aren’t groomed or maintained properly. The town of Saint Gervais doesn’t have enough restaurants to support the tourist population, struggle to find a table anywhere.
