has a slightly different 'flavour', but all enjoy absolutely stunning views of the surrounding forests and mountains,
most notably, Mont Blanc. There is even a layby on the motorway between Geneva and St Gervais, which specifically
offers a view of Mont Blanc - it's always busy! The summer climate is beautifully warm with fresh mountain air.
There are many little cafes and bars, shops and restaurants. As well as several small supermarkets and boulangeries,
just a few minutes drive down the hill takes you to a huge hypermarket which sells everything you may need, and
quite a lot you will never have any use for! Activities on offer include the Mont Blanc tramway - not to be missed!

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS...
'We had a great time. The apartments were great. We would definitely
recommend them. They were modern and well kitted out with plenty of room, much nicer than many we have stayed in.
The lady on reception was friendly and helpful too - didn't make us feel like idiots with our pidgin French! Our
three apartments were right next to each other which was perfect - in effect we were together, but with some privacy
when we wanted it. Lovely bakery about 200m away too - French bread is great! I'm sure we'll be in touch again
- we plan to go again next year. Well - thanks again for your help! It wouldn't surprise me if our friends ask
for your help next time too!'
'Thank you also for organising our accommodation in St Gervais.
It proved to be excellent for us as a group in every regard. It was particularly helpful that we were all on one
floor, which was also probably good for our neighbours too! St Gervais lived up to my memory of it as being suitable
as a family resort for a group with a number of first-timers. Everyone enjoyed the week and we now have a group
of future skiers in our family, which is excellent. Again, thank you for your prompt, friendly and efficient service
- very much appreciated.'
'The apartment was excellent value for money - modern, spacious
and well equipped with wonderful views across the mountains and valley. Great shower with never-ending hot water
and use of the sauna and hot tub were very welcome at the end of the day. It's only a 2 minute drive to the cable
car (some people, fitter than us, walk it) and a very pleasant ten minute stroll into the village. St Gervais village
is incredibly charming and unspoilt by tourism and, we can't wait to go back!'
