St Gervais-Mont-Blanc is a picturesque spa town at the north entrance to the Val Montjoie, on the West side of the Mont Blanc
massif (French Alps). Unlike many other French alpine resorts, this is not a purpose built ski town, but has character spanning
centuries and a year-round community life. There are a variety of restaurants, bars, shops and facilities in the market town and
it's surroundings, offering an enjoyable holiday at any time of the year.
The geographical position of St. Gervais, at the North West corner of the French Alps, and just a few kilometres from the
Autoroute Blanche and the Mont Blanc tunnel and within an hour of Geneva Airport makes this one of the easiest Alpine resorts to
reach and is an ideal weekend destination.
