Overview
Description
Three minutes walk from the centre of the delightful 19th Century spa village of Saint Gervais les Bains is this 30 year old detached chalet which has been fully renovated to provide a contemporary but comfortable home.The chalet which uses much traditional wood to provide the Alpine ‘feel’ also benefits from modern communication systems such as Wireless Broadband and modern audio visual entertainment throughout. The satellite television provides access to the usual UK satellite channels. Swimming pool in summer and clear mountain air combine to provide the tonic you need. 50 minutes from Geneva Airport, 7 minutes from ski lifts to Megeve-Saint Gervais ski domain, 15 minutes from Chamonix. 1 minute walk from Tramway du Mont Blanc providing direct access to Les Houches, Mont Blanc mountaineering, Tour du Mont Blanc and paragliding take off sites.
Notes on accommodation: The chalet has underfloor heating which is very effective. Because the chalet is laid out over four floors and has balconies and a swimming pool it is best suited to adults and older children. Our young nephews and nieces have had a super time here summer and winter but the under 5's obviously required more supervision from adults. Outside, Summer: The outside living space is fantastic. A patio with decking surrounds the pool and has fabulous views of the Aravis chain of mountains on the other side of the valley. Barbeque'ing is very special and at night the patio is lit with outdoor lighting. The pool is about 30 feet long and is heated in Summer to in excess of 26 degrees Celsius. There are outdoor tables, chairs and sun loungers. There is parking for up to three cars to the side of the drive.

Leave ReviewWonderful chalet for skiing
By Megan W on 03-Jan-2026We all enjoyed our week at the chalet, the location is great for skiing with the bus stop right outside and only a 5 minute walk into town. Everything was perfect for us from the comfortable beds to the stunning view, the well equipped kitchen, plenty of hanging space for ski gear, and the sauna to relax in. St Gervais is a lovely town and the Thursday market has some great fresh produce. Melanie was quick to respond to messages and friendly and helpful throughout.

Skiing / Christmas holiday
By Tony William Porter on 20-Dec-2025A beautiful well equipped chalet, with stunning views across the valley. Excellent location, just 5 minutes walk into the center of the village. and for skiers the free ski bus stops just outside of the chalet. The kitchen was especially well equipped with all modern utensils and the bedrooms were nicely furnished with comfortable beds. The Sonos sound system is a modern touch to this traditional chalet., This chalet gives you all you need (and more) to be able to explore and enjoy this beautiful part of the world. . Thanks to Melanie and Chris for all the help and information they gave us. 10/10.
Glorious Saint Gervais
By melissa Emson on 02-Aug-2025My husband and I, along with our 2 children aged 11 & 13 yrs finished our 2 week holiday at this beautiful chalet, nestled in the town of Saint Gervais. A comfortable, spacious and perfectly equipped chalet with mountain views that will take your breath away. Mornings, lazy afternoons and evenings watching the sunset were simply exquisite. While the boys enjoyed the pool which is bathed in sunshine, we settled into the comfortable sun loungers to read a good book ( that's if you can take your eyes off the scenery) Saint Gervais has much to offer including lovely walks/runs, road and mountain bike routes, a local indoor and outdoor swimming pool, crazy golf, a tennis club, spas, an array of super restaurants and shops and this is all within a few mins walk from the chalet. The chalet has plenty of storage space for bicycles/ skis etc and off road parking for 3 cars!! Melanie has equipped it, so if you have forgotten anything, don't worry she probably has it there and can tell you exactly where to find it. Everything was just perfect! Thankyou
Lovely place to stay for a ski holiday
By David & family - skiers on 12-Jan-2025St Gervais is a great place to base yourself for a ski holiday and this is a really lovely chalet. Walk 5 mins into the town for bars and restaurants and catch a bus or drive 3 mins to the lift station (plenty of parking outside of the most busy periods). Highly recommeded. Thanks Melanie.
