Saint Gervais Mont-Blanc Reviews & Ratings

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.

We had amazing snow conditions and the overall ski area is very large and we skied every day from first lift to last and never got bored, there are some lovely long runs and it wasn't busy when we were there, we went over to megeve and skier all the way to gettiaz where the lifts were slow but the ski runs were very good, bit of a flat blue to get there which didn't appeal so much to my snowboarding daughter. The ski bus is the village is very efficient and the choice of accommodation is good. The town is a proper year round town and there is a new lift down to the spa at la Fayette which is fabulous. It is easily accessed from Geneva either by train or shared transfer.

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.
