An old spa town that has been around since Roman Times, St. Gervais is also an historic ski resort, operating as such since before World War One. Many of the current buildings date from the last century but parts of the lift infrastructure are very modern, including the 20-person high speed to Le Bettex (1400m) a newer slope side development better suited to those wanting doorstep skiing and night-life by lift, rather than vice versa.

St Gervais is part of a lift-linked 300km ski region shared with Megeve and is ideally located in the centre of the huge part-linked Pays Du Mont Blanc pass area. This area covers 13 resorts including legendary Chamonix and Courmayeur in Italy, offering access to 700 km of terrain. St. Gervais' main mountain is Mont d'Arbois from where it's possible to ski down to Megeve.
Not a place for raucous nightlife, there is still a wide selection of bars, restaurants and one night club (La Nuit des Temps). There are two cinemas and an Olympic size ice rink.
