Saint Gervais Mont-Blanc Reviews & Ratings

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.

I ski, my wife does not. We have been going to Saint Gervais now for 8 years. The pistes are generally well prepared, outside school holidays the queues for lifts are short and the pistes not crowded. For non-skiers there is access to some areas in bubble lifts and walking trails. There is also the Mont Blanc runway. StG is generally chilled with nice atmosphere. It isnt a party resort.

First time skiing. Great ski instructor and i was doing blues by day 2. Really nice chilled vibe and great new Gondola from the town. Can't wait to go back

Great for a novice skier, great ski school and the slopes werent too busy. Looking forward to going back and exploring more!

A mountain where to cme again! Had the best ski lesson with the nicest French team. Nice town and live music at aperiski!

Very quiet town, but cheap considering the access to a good ski area. Car is recommended as it will be needed to access the non connected parts of the area. Not good later in the season due to low altitude.

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.

I really enjoyed skiing at Saint Gervais. It was my second time skiing and I felt quite nervous but we started slowly. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and we ate at a little cafe on the way down which was lovely. Overall really great experience, would come back again.

Small village resort with good links to main cable car (which has now has an extensive revamp for 2024/5!). Village itself is charming with good places to eat and stay. Enough good skiing for a few days.. tree lined skiing and more challenging runs. Good for families. Would recommend as a beginner/intermediate resort. Good connection to Geneva airport by train ..but check taxi/bus links to village if you are arriving late!
