Situated under the majestic back-drop of Mont Blanc, yet only 50 mins drive from Geneva International airport, this beautiful small alpine market town with its Baroque church and pedestrianised areas, offers amazing scenery and an excellent selection of interesting local food shops and cosy bars and restaurants. There is a good local market every Thursday and amongst its other attractions, the town of Saint-Gervais offers a theatre and an ice skating rink. It is the only resort in the French Alps to combine the pleasures of skiing and other mountain activities with those of health and beauty spa treatments.

Saint-Gervais offers a host of summer activities as well. A trip up the mountain on the Mont-Blanc tramway, one of the last rack and pinion trains in France, is not to be missed. You could paraglide around the mountains or enjoy a leisurely round of golf at Megeve.
