St-Gervais-Les-Bains is an 11-minute drive from the St Gervais Train Station via the D902. Unlike other mountain resort towns, this one is occupied year-round and is full of history and traditional French charm. In the winter, snow sports are the main draw: skiing, snowboarding, cross-country, and more. Many companies cater entirely to ski vacations.
In the summer months, other alpine activities like mountain biking and hiking are popular. One of the more famous walks starts in Combloux and ends in Les Contamines, taking you to Baroque chapels and churches along the way. St-Gervais-Les-Bains is also home to a year-round thermal spa, which is situated inside the Parc Thermal in the lower village of Le Fayet. It’s world famous and sees many visitors each year.
Take the tramway towards Voza Pass, which sits at an altitude of 1,653m and boasts stunning views of Mont Blanc in the background. You can also see the Bionnassay glacier from here.
