Ski:
The St Gervais Evasion Mont Blanc ski area is a linked resort with 125 ski lifts & cable cars covering 500km of piste from 1000 to 2353m in altitude. The area has some challenging runs, but is better known for its mid-level (blue and red) runs through woodland and natural snow basins. There is a snow park for snowboarders and there are ice rinks in Megève and St Gervais. The hotel is right next to the nursery slope and drag lift in Le Bettex, at 1400m, and is about 5 minutes' walk from the main cable car and ski schools. In Le Bettex itself, there is a creche, run by the ski school, and several shops and restaurant-cafés. The hotel has a small and lively bar, and for serious après ski, Chamonix and Megève are within half an hour's drive. For those who need a break from skiing, picturesque St Gervais provides an authentic taste of the Savoie region, with a weekly market and plenty of local produce on sale.
