SKI ST GERVAIS, MEGEVE, ST NICOLAS DE VEROCE, COMBLOUX,  LES CONTAMINES, LA GIETTAZ AND LES HOUCHES FROM OUR CHALET. NOW OVER 450 KMS OF PISTES WITH 113 LIFTS, all accessible on one lift pass. Ski all day with the Mont Blanc towering over you.

This is a huge domain, but is very far from being a mass-tourism resort; this is definitely an area that has yet to be 'discovered'. Out of high season, (school holidays!), you can skiing holidays Franceeasily 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.

The St.Gervais-Bettex ski area is linked to Megève Mont D'Arbois slopes and thus offers a huge skiing domain. (Ski Megève without the queues to and from the lifts through the centre of Megève.) Beginners are well catered for with many blue and green trails.  Good skiers will find many challenging runs, including one of the most daunting black runs in the Alps, the famous 'Chamois' off the shoulder of the Mont Joly.

skiing in FranceCombloux: classic skiing through pine forests on well groomed slopes- a superb day away from the crowds
St Nicolas-de-Véroce: well worth the detour to ski down to this charming Alpine village with it's Baroque church and stupendous view of Mont Blanc
Les Contamines at the top of the valley: more excellent  skiing with its north facing slopes

Be original, take the Tramway du Mont Blanc from the centre of St. Gervais up to the Col du Voza and ski Les Houches.

We have had guests who have tried to ski the whole Evasion Mont Blanc domain in a week and have not succeeded!

We will organise a guide to take you to the world famous Vallée Blanche. From the Aiguille du Midi at 3842 metres altitude, the highest cable car in Europe, down the Mer de Glace glacier to Chamonix. Take in the sights and the incredible beauty of the high mountains. Pick your way through the massive ice towers of the seracs. A day to remember for the rest of your life.

  • Your "Evasion Mont Blanc" ski pass can be pre-booked and paid for on the internet - please ask us for details.
  • Ski and boot hire can be organised in advance and our specialist gives discount prices to all our guests.
  • In January and March we accept mid-week to mid-week bookings. Take advantage of those really cheap flights!

  Other Winter Activities  


skiing holidays in FranceOne tends to forget that skiing is not the only activity in winter. St Gervais Mont Blanc is a fabulous site for the rapidly growing sport of snowshoeing with many safe trails in and above the tree line.

For the more adventurous, we can arrange guides to take you off the beaten track. The same applies for cross country skiing. There is also an ice skating ring in St. Gervais.

Hire a snowmobile on the Mont d'Arbois. Take a tandem paragliding flight with a teacher from Mont-Joux.

And why not treat yourself to an "après-ski" rejuvenating spa session. The possibilities are endless. If you can't manage it all in one week, come for two; our rates are even better.
