Saint-Gervais, Megeve and the Ski Evasion Mont Blanc Area
Saint-Gervais / Megeve
Nestled in a narrow gorge beneath the towering Mont Blanc Massif, St Gervais is part of the vast Evasion Mont Blanc ski area – linked to Megève over Mont d’Arbois.
The mostly tree-lined ski area covers 263km of slopes, which extends to over 400km when the resorts of Les Contamines and Les Houches are included. The terrain suits beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders, there are some great challenges for more those with more experience – especially at Mont Joly and within the trees following fresh snowfall.
Ski Megeve
The skiing area is extensive and best suits skiers who want miles of easy cruising on well groomed pistes.
After a fresh snowfall, the off-piste is delightful because most of Megève’s pampered clientele stick to the pistes (or have a day off the slopes if they see snow rather than sun in the sky).
Mountain restaurants are abundant in both numbers and variety. They are a real highlight of the area – whether you want a long gourmet lunch or a quick snack.The scenery is magnificent too, with stunning views of Mont Blanc from much of the ski area.
Megeve Village
The resort’s core is a beautiful, traffic-free medieval centre which is now bordered by sprawling suburbs. But it remains a charming and delightful place to stroll around with cobbled streets, a central open air ice rink, a splendid church (prettily lit at night), horse-drawn sleighs and lots of galleries and shops selling smart clothes, watches and jewellery to look around. Although there are plenty of glittering five-star hotels and Michelin starred restaurants catering to the affluent, there are places that are much more affordable to stay and eat in too.
A fabulous new sports centre – Le Palais – opened in 2016, with separate indoor pools for adults and children, saunas, a steam room, indoor hot tubs, an Olympic standard indoor ice rink, indoor tennis, gym and more.
