St Gervais Les Bains area

Skiing Information:
Le Grattague is a small holiday hamlet which has very easy access to the St Gervais - Megeve ski area providing over 350kms of pistes. It is a very peaceful area at an elevation of about 1300m and although it is easily accessible, a car is essential.

There is a large telecabine, two chairlifts and tows at Le Bettex which is 1.5km away. The ski bus stops approx 100m from the chalet. Slightly closer is a ski tow at Les Communailles which is approximately 1 km away although practically Le Bettex is easier. The skiing is suitable for all abilities with a number of green and blue runs and some more challenging reds and blacks for the more experienced skiers. Excellent skiing can also be found at Les Contamines or Les Houches/Chamonix using the Mont-Blanc ski pass.

There are 2 ski schools and local shops at Le Bettex (1.5 Kms). St Gervais, which is 10 minutes by car, has a full range of shops, bars and cafes. Cross country skiing and ice skating are also available.

In the summer this is an excellent area for walking and mountain biking. There are many attractions in the area such as the Tramway Mont Blanc and the telepherique to Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix , a town which has multiple attractions and hiking possibilities.

There is golf in nearby Megeve and Chamonix and there are bathing lakes at Sallanches.

The local telecabine at Le Bettex operates in summer months and gives access to Mont Joly and some beautiful local walks. Or, simply walk straight from the chalet door to many locations including St Nicolas de Veroce where there is a renowned Baroque Church.
