St Gervais is also a fantastic ski resort situated in the beating heart of 300 kilometres of pistes (450 kilometres included in the larger ‘Evasion’ ski pass and well over 500 kilometres including Les Houches). It should be a name that tumbles from the tongue of every serious skier. But despite its attractions, perhaps because it is sandwiched between exclusive Megève and the Alps’ unofficial capital city of Chamonix, sleepy Saint Gervais tends to get overlooked; much to the satisfaction of those who have already discovered it. Outside of peak weeks the slopes are usually dreamily empty and lift accessed powder fields lie unravaged for days after those in better known locations have been thoroughly trounced. Saint Gervais has a staggeringly good snow record for its relatively modest altitude because it lies to the west of Mont Blanc (indeed technically the Mont Blanc peak is in the Saint Gervais commune) the direction from which virtually all French snow systems arrive. |
