Ski-in/ski-out

Saint-Gervais is a real working spa town, so most stays are in-town rather than slope-side; the lifts at Le Bettex and the Mont d'Arbois gondola are a short ride away.

Get to know the resort

Saint-Gervais-les-Bains is that rare thing in the Alps, a proper town with shops, thermal baths and year-round life, set on a balcony beneath Mont Blanc. Its slopes at Le Bettex feed straight into the 400 km Évasion Mont-Blanc domain shared with Megève, mostly gentle, tree-lined and beautifully scenic. The famous rack railway, the Tramway du Mont-Blanc, climbs from town toward the Bionnassay glacier, a reminder that this is mountaineering country as much as a ski resort.
