Vacation Rental Description
The accommodation in the apartment is very flexible. There are two bedrooms - the master bedroom has two single beds that can be pushed together to make a large double and the 2nd bedroom has two singles which can also be pushed together to make a large double. There are wardrobes in each bedroom so there is no shortage of storage space. There is also a sofa bed in the sitting room/kitchen if a 5th person wants to stay. The kitchen and living room form one good sized room with a table berger which lets down for dining. The side tables double as stools when eating. There is a DVD with a range of films and plenty of books for you to read.
There is also wi-fi in the apartment for your convenience.
The Haute Savoie area of the Rhone Alps has the most stunning mountain scenery and is glorious in winter and summer. The area is close to the borders of Switzerland and Italy with easy access to both and if you just want to stay in one spot you can't get better than the local area with its many amenities. It has many beautiful villages to visit in the summer and Chamonix and Megève are two of the major towns.
There is always something to do in St. Gervais whatever the season - it is a friendly town and has the charm of a traditional ski resort. You can self-cater in the well equipped apartment (slow cooker recommended for a great meal on your return), grab a takeaway pizza or dine out in one of the many restaurants in town. We can supply you with a list of our favourites when we speak. The Patisserie is less than 50m up the road for freshly baked bread, croissant, and quiches to die for!
St. Gervais sits between Chamonix and Megève and the télécabine, which is 2 mins walk from the apartment, takes you straight up into the Megève/St.Gervais ski area. In the winter the télécabine runs a continual service and in summer you can catch a ride every half hour to take you up the hill for magnificent views and various walks. If you still have some energy after skiing or walking then take a stroll over the 'Devil's Bridge' across the gorge and try ice skating. There are frequent ice hockey matches there too and it all gets very exciting if the home team are playing!
For more information about the spa and beauty treatments available a short drive/bus down the hill then go to www.thermes-st-gervais.fr
And finally.........One thing not to be missed is a ride on the Mont Blanc Train, stunningly beautiful in winter and summer. Pick a clear day, pick up the train in St. Gervais and be prepared to have your breath taken away!
