Very attractive and comfortable apartment facing south and east with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The residence 'Les Jardins Alpins' was built as recently as 1994 in a luxurious traditional style. It is situated in a quiet residential area of St. Gervais ideally situated close to the telecabin lift, which is literally 2 minutes walk away and very convenient for skiers. The village centre with its shops and restaurants is only a short 10 minutes walk away. The apartment is in superb 'as new' condition and tastefully pine clad, giving a chalet appearance internally. It has 36.5 sq. metres of accommodation and the furniture is in matching pine of high quality. The apartment is on the 4th floor accessed by an efficient lift or stairs.
It has two bedrooms with a double bed in...

We keep coming back
We have rented this apartment for three years running and are booked to go back again already next season. The apartment has all you need for a skiing holiday and is ideally located, both for the telecabin and the village amenities.

Our grateful thanks for your continued support.

Fabulous location, cosy place, had a great time
Lovely apartment in a fantastic location in Saint Gervais - one of our favourite ski areas . Have nothing bad to say about it at all but if I was really pushed I would say that the excessive dried flower arrangements need to be reviewed - they cover every free surface. Also, it is very difficult to store food in the kitchen area as all of the cupboards are filled with excessively complicated kitchen gadgets. A bit more free cupboard space would be good. Once we found the garage (directions were great for flat but not good for garage location) we realised that a Golf would fit in it but our 4x4 had no chance.
Great holiday - would book again

Ideal
Have been for 3 (maybe 4?) times now.
Ideal for skiing.
The apartment has everything you need and no more.
Neat, compact, clean and well equipped.
Ski lockers and underground garage.
Walking distance from the Telecabine, the Les Houches rack railway and the town.
Megeve and Les Contamines only a few minutes drive.
St Gervais is a real town, shops, bars, ski hire and even a weekly market with no tacky 'après-ski'.
You may have guessed, all I need is a small lottery win and I'd be there.

Thanks very much for your kind and positive review, which is much appreciated. Having stayed with us a number of times, our client knows the area and all the facilities of St. Gervais very well and it is heart-warming to know that he wishes to return for yet another holiday. St. Gervais really is a great place to ski as well as enjoying the beauty of the mountains for walking in the summer.

Super Ski Apartment
This is a lovely little apartment, perfectly situated close to the main Bettex telecabine. Also very handy for a bakers across the road and an easy stroll into St Gervais itself for supermarkets, cafes, etc. The apartment is clean, warm and cosy and a lovely haven to return to after a day in the mountains. Loads of hot water too. Would imagine it would also be great in the summer as it has a lovely balcony.Would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending. Owner was very helpful throughout booking process as was the agent who arranged access.

Brilliant location and great skiing
Cosy flat brilliantly located a minute from the telecabin. Shops and bars a few minutes walk, everything you need for a winter break. St Gervais is a well appointed town with bags of character and interest rather than a hi-level resort. However, there is serious skiing for those with the legs, and pleanty of well connected ski areas. Well worth exploring and getting to know better.

superbe appartement bien situé
un appartement très agréable , propre et très bien situé .
Le propriétaire est très agréable , ainsi que la personne sur place pour nous accueillir.
S'il faut trouver quelque chose pour améliorer je dirais juste qu'il manque un micro onde mais cela n'est pas du tout était gênant pour nous .
A refaire ....!!!!! ;)

Ottima posizione
Piccolo appartamento in stile alpino al 4 piano di un bell'immobile in ottima posizione. Piccolo parcheggio di pertinenza del palazzo a lato e grande parcheggio libero, degli impianti di risalita del Bettex, giusto di fronte. In prossimità boulangerie e pizzeria. Il centro del paese è a pochi minuti a piedi.
La casa ha una cucina ben equipaggiata ed è ben tenuta, malgrado non sia nuovissima. Il proprietario Brian è stato molto gentile e prodigo di informazioni, così come monsieur Jeremy, che lo rappresenta in loco.
C'è tutto quel che serve per una bella vacanza nella bella Saint Gervais.

About the neighborhood
St. Gervais is a delightful old original town at an altitude of about 800 metres above the valley below. The mountains in the St. Gervais area have an excellent record for reliable snow conditions in the winter. The whole area has so much to offer with the widest range of activities imaginable in both summer and winter, for the young and the 'not so young'. The wooded mountains and views are magnificent and are an absolute paradise for skiers or mountain walkers. While you explore or ski, young children can be looked after at the crèche or kindergarten at Le Bettex, where there are also activity clubs for older children. In summer you can walk for miles on marked paths, in meadows or high altitude, including the well loved 'balcony walks' along the Chamonix valley. Megève, the beautiful town well known by the rich and famous, can be easily reached by car within about 10 minutes or more leisurely with spectacular views via the very efficient mountain lift system. Chamonix, immediately at the foot of Mont Blanc (4807m), can be reached by car within 25-30 minutes and a visit by cable car up to the Aiguille du Midi (3804m high) near the summit of Mont Blanc is absolutely breathtaking.<BR><BR>SEASONAL ACTIVITIES: <BR>WINTER: ski, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, snow shoe walking (snow hikes over special routes), snow park (for special snow activities), ski entertainment area for young children, crèche facility & kindergarten at Le Bettex (next village up the mountain from St. Gervais). <BR>SUMMER: tennis, walking, fishing, horse riding, golf (also championship courses at Megève and Chamonix), mini-golf, cycling, mountain biking on marked trails, canoeing, white water rafting, canyoning, kayaking, rock climbing, hot-air ballooning (discovery flight), water sports lake with beach (20 mins), summer tobogganing at Megève and Chamonix, summer skiing on Mont Blanc. <BR>SUMMER & WINTER: ice-skating, ice dancing & ice hockey (Olympic ice rink), swimming, paragliding, hang-gliding, thermal baths, mountain railway (St. Gervais to Mont Blanc), activity clubs for children (Le Bettex), sports centre (Megève), mountaineering at Chamonix (with professional guide).<BR><BR>SKIING INFORMATION<BR>The skiing area is integrated into the Megève domain with 360kms of pistes and over 100 lifts and is ideal for mixed ability groups. The pistes themselves vary from pretty tree-lined runs amongst the evergreen forests to large open areas, catering for skiers of all standards, beginners, intermediates and the really advanced. There are snowmaking machines on many runs during the winter for guaranteed skiing. Some areas are specifically allocated for snowboarding and there are large areas for safe off-piste skiing. The mountains included in the lift pass are Mont d'Arbois (1833m), Mont Joux (1958m), Mont Joly (2525m), Rochebrune (1754m), Cote 2000 (2014m) and Jaillet (1757m). <BR><BR>MOUNTAINEERING<BR>The 4810m summit of Mont Blanc rises on the communal territory of Saint Gervais. From the resort, mountaineers can follow the famous 'Voie Royale' to Mont Blanc, conquered in 1855 by an Englishman named Hudson. Start with an excursion on the Mont Blanc Tramway before walking towards the Tête Rousse mountain refuge and a stop over near the 'Aiguille de Goûter'. Climb the 'Dôme du Goûter' towards the Vallot mountain refuge and the final ridge to the summit at 4810 metres. It is advisable to hire one of the experienced professional mountain guides, who have offices at St. Gervais.<BR><BR>GOLF INFORMATION<BR>There are championship courses at Megève, only 15 mins (11kms) by car from St. Gervais and also at Chamonix about 30 mins (24kms) away.
