Saint-Gervais
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, a spa village at the foot of Mont-Blanc, brings together great skiing, thermal waters and mountain heritage.
Overview
Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc
The only French commune at the foot of Mont-Blanc, Saint-Gervais has a dual identity: a resort linked to the vast Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, and a spa village whose waters have been healing since the 19th century. From the Baroque centre to Le Bettex, by way of the Tramway du Mont-Blanc, it offers authentic mountains, alive in every season.
