St. Gervais is a beautiful quaint picturesque village in the French Alps. It sits under Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe and has extensive ski and walking areas.

In the Winter -
Spoilt for choice in Saint Gervais, a week is barely enough time to ski the entire Evasion Mont-Blanc area (3rd largest domain in France) and its 445 kilometres of tree-lined slopes. The Evasion Mont-Blanc domain boasts 219 slopes, 107 ski lifts and 650 artificial snow makers.

in the Summer -
The spa resort of Saint-Gervais with its Baroque church and pedestrian areas has attracted tourists since 1806. Set in a narrow river gorge halfway between Megève and Chamonix, the landscape is impressive wherever you look. This small Savoyard market town offers an excellent selection of interesting food shops, cosy bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Every Thursday morning in Saint-Gervais there is a superb genuine market.

Among Saint Gervais’ attractions are thermal baths with spa treatments, a cinema, casino, and many outdoor activities available such as an Olympic skating rink or unforgettable walks and rambles with over 180km of marked paths and trails, including a Baroque footpath. Finally, an excursion up the mountain on the Mont-Blanc Tramway is not to be missed.

The Mont Blanc Tramway is one of the last rack & pinion trains in France although the locomotives are no longer steam powered. In summer, the Tramway takes you to the foot of the Bionnassay Glacier, the Nid d'Aigle, at an altitude of 2372 metres. From here experienced mountaineers can climb to the Tête Rousse and Goûter mountain huts, and the Mont Blanc.
A host of adrenaline activities take place in Saint Gervais and nearby Chamonix (home of adrenaline sports in France) - from bungy jumping and mountain biking to swimming in beautiful mountain lakes and orienteering, this place has something for everyone.

THE CHALET
Chalet Stanford is a modern chalet with a newly replaced electric circuit and plumbing.

The chalet has views of the mountains on three sides and a large, south facing terrace with barbeque. Located on a quiet road about 2 kilometres from the ski lift to which there is free bus service 50m away. All local amenities within walking distance.

Bedroom 1 has double bed and small en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom 2 has 3 single beds
Bedroom 3 has a double bed.
Bedroom 4 has 2 single beds.

The kitchen is fully equipped with gas hob, electric oven, large fridge/freezer, small fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, raclette set, slow cooker, blender, pressure cooker and a complete range of pans, casseroles, glasses, crockery and cutlery.

The sitting/dining room is open plan giving a space in which 20 of us have sat down for dinner. The two dining tables may be arranged as a square or as a refectory. A hi-fi system is on the sideboard. Three sofas and two easy chairs face the beautiful corner fireplace.

This is our home and well loved and we welcome friends and families and others to enjoy such a wonderful alpine experience.

Additional information:
Although this is my home, we actually live in London and my father lives between the chalet in France and our house in London so it is a cross between our home and a second home.
About Home Exchange Owners :
We are a family with 2 young children aged 3 and 6 although the chalet inFrance does not house many of our toys and games as they remain in London most of the time. We are both working parents, my husband works in the City and I work in Event Production and travel regularly. We are well travelled and very much enjoying taking the family everywhere to enjoy new experiences. We are homely and relaxed and love our sport and outdoor life.
