Set between the famous mountain resort towns of Chamonix and Megève, the lovely town of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains offers a taste of traditional French Alpine living. Known for its strong french character — this is a historic community, rather than a purpose-built resort — it has been a popular holiday destination for over a century. Accommodation options reflect this sense of authenticity, with the best places to stay in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains being small, intimate and inviting.
Winter visitors will be thrilled to explore the third-largest ski area in France, with more than 450 kilometres of pistes (and linked to Megeve and Les Contamines). Hone your skiing and snowboarding skills, or try your hand at paragliding, snowshoeing and sledging with the whole family. Come summer, you’ll find scenic trails for mountain bikers, climbers and hikers. Keen rafters can navigate the rivers, whilst spa enthusiasts can enjoy long soaks in the area’s revitalising thermal waters.
Don’t miss taking the historic Mont Blanc Tramway from Le Fayet to Nid d’Aigle station — at an altitude of 2373m — for mesmerising views. Day trips to Chamonix and Megève also come highly recommended. In the evenings, pop into shops, cafés, bars and eateries aplenty in town, before putting your feet up at one of the best places to stay in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
