Visitor Reviews of Saint Gervais

Clive Lawton from United Kingdom writes:

Having just returned from Saint Gervais, I can confirm that I have nothing but praise for the resort. However, for advanced skiers there may be several drawbacks.

Good points:
(1) Saint Gervais has an enormous skiing area. In a week I only scratched the surface. I went at half-term week and the sheer size of the ski area absorbed the crowds very easily away from the important lift stations. Out of peak times I'm sure the area would appear almost deserted. With nearby resorts of Combloux and Les Contamines also on the area pass there are at least two hundred miles of ski runs to explore.

(2) Saint Gervais has a huge number of runs that will suit a family group towards the bottom end of the ability range. There are a great number of long greens and blues whilst the reds were relatively unthreatening. Family groups of differing abilities easily met up for lunch on the mountain.

(3) The scenery is extraordinary. Many runs through the trees or with views of trees with Mount Blanc visible from much of the area.

(4) Saint Gervais is an 'all year round' destination for both summer and winter holidays therefore the range of shops and facilities are above the norm for a ski resort.

(5) Everybody on the mountain seemed very relaxed and happy from the lift people to the restaurant workers to the skiers.

(6) Saint Gervais has a great range of accommodation from studios in Saint Gervais town to seven bedroom chalets up at Le Bettex.

Bad points:
(1) The resort is relatively low although Mount Blanc has its own weather system so I'm told. Having said that the snow, when I was there, was more than adequate as much of the area is summer pasture and therefore needs only a relatively small depth of snow to ensure great conditions.

(2) Saint Gervais has some of the slowest lifts I've ever ridden. It wasn't a problem for me as the weather wasn't so cold but if it had been? Also, the lift from Saint Gervais to Le Bettex is really too small to cope with holiday crowds but seemed to move the skiers up the mountain relatively quickly. The Le Bettex lift upwards was also a bit of a scrum but a good natured one. I never waited more than 10 minutes and there are alternatives albeit slow ones.

(3) Skiers of a high calibre may need help in searching out runs to suit their standards at Saint Gervais. Even the off-piste slopes visible from the lifts seemed somewhat gentle.

(4) The collapse of the £ against the euro helped no one. Costs were up on last year but there's a spread of cost options on the mountain and you can budget accordingly.

All in all, Saint Gervais is a great resort with the positives far out weighing the negatives. However, the snow (or potential lack of it) question is a bit worrying. Having said that, would I go again? A resounding 'yes' and I've already booked again for 2010.
