Your Hosts:
Jeremy and Marie own « La Vieille Ferme » and are dedicated to meeting the needs and requirements of their guests. Marie is French and Jeremy is English, which combination we think gives us an openness to cultures and ideas (except during France/England Grand Slam Rugby matches), that makes the ambience convivial and welcoming. Jeremy is a great walking enthusiast and photographer and loves to share his knowledge of this area which he has been walking for more than twenty years. Marie has known the valley all her life, is an excellent cook and a very good skier.
Our Skiing Season:
We are here to make sure that you have a skiing holiday sans souci (worry free). We pre-organise all your equipment hire, get all necessary ski lessons IN ENGLISH booked, help you buy your ski pass before you get here, pick you up at Geneva airport (transfer time 50 mins.!) if you choose not to drive, and generally make sure that you spend the maximum amount of time on the slopes enjoying yourselves. Personal service is what we are all about!
Our Summer Season:
Perhaps even more active than our winter season, there are a myriad of activities for all the family. Walkers will find some of the best trails in Europe, as well as views you can only dream about. In May, June and September this is a hikers paradise; very few people about , generally excellent weather and loads of mountain animals to see. July and August are more family orientated months, with white water rafting, adventure parks in the trees, summer toboggan, para gliding, swimming, tennis, golf, mountain biking and much, much more.
We specialise in hosted long weekend walking holidays during the summer months. Our prices include Geneva airport transfers, transport to and from local walks, half board accommodation, and a picnic lunch to take on your walks. Jeremy's local knowledge is invaluable in helping you discover this walkers paradise over a long weekend!
Ski:
St Gervais Mont Blanc is part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski area, with over 430 km of pistes on the one Evasion pass. This is a huge domain, but is very far from being a mass-tourism resort; it is definitely an area that has yet to be 'discovered'. Out of high season, (school holidays!), you can easily find you have the slopes and the lifts practically to yourselves- the pistes have been beautifully groomed just for you! The lift staff, mostly drawn from the local village communities, are friendly and helpful, making this, all in all, a very special place to ski. People who have discovered this area do not then want to go and ski anywhere else. This is traditional skiing at it's best.
Other Activities:
Summer tobogan, tree adventure parks, glacier walking
