Buying in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc: an ideal location

Situated at the gateway to the Évasion Mont-Blanc region, the resort of Saint-Gervais enjoys an exceptional location. It offers the most direct access to the peaks of Western Europe, which you can discover thanks to the Mont Blanc tramway - unless you prefer to take off to the skies in a hot air balloon or paraglider.

Saint-Gervais-les-Bains has been welcoming spa-goers since 1806. Visitors from all walks of life come here to combine well-being with immersion in nature. The result is a very special architecture and atmosphere. 

The alpine resort has many other assets! Thanks to its all-seasons activity programme, it appeals to families as well as groups who want to share intense experiences at the foot of the glaciers. In winter, you can choose between downhill or cross-country skiing, snowshoeing through snow-covered conifer forests, or mountaineering. More experienced climbers can attempt an ascent of Mont Blanc. As soon as the snow melts, Saint-Gervais is the starting point for many hiking routes. On foot, by bike or on horseback, discover the Alps as you have never seen them before! You can also try climbing or via ferrata, tennis, swimming in the local pool. Are you a thrill-seeker? Treat yourself to a bungee jump from the Saint-Gervais bridge: a 65m free fall surrounded by mountains!
