The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
The Haute(high) Savoie department of the Rhone Alps region boasts some of the most stunning mountain scenery to be seen anywhere in Europe, having the added advantage of being very close to Switzerland and Italy with easy access to both. The altitude and geology of the area provide visitors with a range of terrains from which to choose for their particular interests, whether it be a summer or a winter activity. The area is steeped in history and local traditions, adding to a truly memorable experience in all respects. The climate is such that there are defined seasons which provide excellent conditions throughout the year.
St Gervais Les Bains area
St Gervais is a small spa town situated at 850m above sea level and located some 15 minutes drive from vibrant Chamonix on one side and cosmopolitan Megeve on the other. The town boasts a very grand past thanks to the Mont Blanc railway ( France's highest) which runs through the town up towards the foot of Mont Blanc where it terminates at the breathtaking Bionnassay Glacier. There is also a Gorge running through the town which has provided St Gervais with the Parc Thermal which people have visited for the qualities of the spa water and treatments that can be obtained there,since 1806. St Gervais has retained its beautiful Alpine character, whilst managing to adapt to meet its growing popularity amongst those seeking the best of the great outdoors all year round. Throughout the summer season and into autumn St Gervais hosts a number of outdoor events, ranging from fetes to music festivals. Alongside this one can enjoy the floral displays in the village and the greenery of the mountains whilst either relaxing at a bar or restaurant or by the pool or enjoying many outdoor activities available in the mountains. For the keen walker or mountain bike enthusiast or climber there are endless opportunities available to enjoy these activities whether alone or guided. During the winter season St Gervais falls within the vast Evasion Mont Blanc ski area offering over 400km of skiing not forgetting the snow park. If this is not enough there are other resorts just a short drive away. With the onset of the winter season and through to the new year there are a number of firework displays to mark various key dates and celebrations. The list of activities goes on and on. Whatever the outdoor enthusiast seeks it can be found whether it be paragliding, canyoning, climbing or ice skating in the local ice rink where St Gervais' premier league team are based. St Gervais has a range of shops, bars and restaurants which cater for all tastes and budgets.

Further details indoors: We cannot understate the spacious feeling of the chalet which is quite capable and fitted out to sleep a maximum of 8 adults though we prefer group sizes of up to 6 and a baby, as we feel it is more suited to such groups. We can offer various sleeping configurations to accommodate groups up to this size, including the provision of a high quality cot, if required, at no extra charge, without any compromise to enjoyment of the property. We set out to give you as complete a pictorial perspective of our accommodation as we can so you can envisage the level of comfort you will enjoy and have no doubts. Even so, you will still find that on arrival you will be pleasantly surprised at how spacious the accommodation is, as the pictures have been taken with just a normal lense camera, and do not show the extent of the full height living area and mezzanine.
Further details outdoors: The chalet is set in it's own extensive grounds. In winter snow clearance is provided to maintain access at all times. In summer the gardens are tended to regularly to maintain high standards. The chalet will be fully prepared for your arrival .You will be greeted by the owners. We will give you a full explanation of how things work, and answer any questions you have about the chalet or the area, skiing, restaurants etc.
