Saint Gervais is a very charming alpine village neatly tucked against Mont Blanc on the northern side between the Chamonix valley and megeve. It has easy access by train and road. The village has lot of ambience and is home to music festivals and sports weeks including a mountain bike week. There are lots of restaurants to choose from with a weekly market selling local produce including cheeses, meats and wines.There is an array of shops for clothes and a few supermarkets for the self-caterer.
The old Mont Blanc tram passes through the village where you can ride up to start the well none trek to the summit of mont blanc via 'tete rousse' and 'aiguille du gouter' . It also offers miles of walking and biking trails, golfing in the nearby village of Megeve, climbing, paragliding, horse riding etc.
During the winter St-Gervais has a vast ski area for all levels and is connected to megeve and St Nicholas providing over 400km of pistes. The more adventurous can travel to Chamonix.
