The Skiers' Guide to Saint Gervais Mont-Blanc

Good choice of slopes for the whole family! Plenty of longer runs too. Mountain food and apres very good! Would definitely visit again. Well linked via mont blonc snow tram for visiting other areas on the exclusive ski pass!

Stayed in Saint Gervais Le Fayet (quiet, few bars, some restaurants) and took Le Valleen up the hill to Les Bains each day = 5 mins and excellent. Hire from Skiloc, Bettex = best skis I have ever hired - waxed and good edges. Slopes excellent; many were half to a full notch higher in difficulty, conversely some were easier than colour coding. Skied all of the Saint Gervais, Megeve and Cote 2000 - the latter our favourite. Awesome place, awesome views of Mont Blanc..Tip: do your research and book restaurants in the evening!

Great quite resort beautiful village a few small but lovley bars, great choice of slopes, quick ski lifts so can cover a large area in a day.

Amazing! I had such a wonderful experience - there were slopes for everyone, beginner or advanced. The views were immense and value for money was unreal!

Near other resorts if you want to do multiple places. low altitude so conditions are dependent on recent snowfall. Family friendly resort, not for younger people looking for full apres

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.

Managed to escape for a long weekend with a friend, we had a few private lessons via BASS, and the instructor was amazing, made sense and provided the confidence I lack as a middle aged women learning the ski.
The greens are at the top of the resort so you are not stuck at the bottom, and you can take them all the way down to Megeve, then back on some lovely blues,
The resort is also possible to reach by train if you do not want to hire a car, and it is has a top rated thermal spa - which is well worth a visit.

Beautiful village, modern lifts, friendly people. Lots of runs for different abilities. I ski blues but my family can ski red and black next to me and meet me at the bottom.

Overall, great groomed runs. It can get crowded during high season but otherwise, it's still a good experience. Ski/snowboard school is good, really depends on the instructor you get (mine was excellent, others, not so great). Apres ski was good also.

We have been visiting St Gervais for year. This year has been the best for snow meaning lots of off piste and powder options. The new revamped gondola to Le Bettex is great, makes it much easier to get from La Fayette to the base. The town is amazing for a good beer and nice fondue but also there is La Folie deuce up the hill as well. An all round good resort with a lot of options and ski pass that includes other mountain ranges. Only 1 hour from Geneva so easy to get to as well!

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!
