Visitor Reviews of Saint Gervais

Graeme Dunbar from United Kingdom writes:

Just had our first week skiing this area (Saint Gervais) at February half-term and we had a great time. The snow was admittedly fantastic, which always makes a big difference, but I loved the breathtaking beauty of the place, with lovely and varied tree-lined runs coupled with stunning views of Mont-Blanc and surrounding peaks. There are many nice huts to eat in on the mountain; we liked the Mont Joux and the 2 places in Les Communailles, particularly. That said, as in almost every French resort, food and drink are a tad expensive.

Would agree that Saint Gervais is mainly an intermediate's ski area, but with over 400km of available pistes to aim for, all but the best of experts will stay interested (that being said there are loads of off-piste possibilities). Although not all sectors are lift or piste linked, transport is easy (especially with a car), so exploring the various sectors is relatively easy.

We thought ESF were excellent at Le Bettex; well organised and catered well for non-french pupils. I would avoid Sport Evasion in Saint Gervais for ski hire, as quality and quantity of equipment was poor, as was their customer service (there are lots of other better ski hire options both in town or in Le Bettex).

Would agree that some of the lifts are painfully slow (esp the Mont Rosset and Chattrix chairs), and the gondolas get a bit busy, but not bad considering it was the busiest week of the season (waited no more than 15 minutes for any lift and that was rare). There is tons of free parking at the gondola station in Saint Gervais, so relatively unstressful in the mornings.

Saint Gervais is a real (and beautiful) town with a year-round life, extending much beyond skiing. There are several good places to eat; would recommend the 4 Epices, L'Eterle (great pizzas) and the Royal, particularly. The local people are very friendly and welcoming, and they have cracking sports facilities, including ice rink, tennis, mini-golf and (in the summer) a great outdoor municipal swimming pool.

Despite skiing solidly for a week we have only scratched the surface of the ski area. There is so much still to go at, so we are going back to Saint Gervais for 2 weeks at New Year. Can't wait.
