Hi Shona61
I've been to St Gervais and will be there again this Christmas. I think your hotel would be in the lower area of the valley which would mean catching the base station gondola and then the second gondola to take you to the top of Mt D'Arbois. Why don't you try looking at hotels around Le Bettex area. This is close to the start and finish of the pistes for St. Gervais. I thouroughly enjoyed my skiing the last time I was there. My family and friends don't go out seeking the thrills of blacks all the time and found that the mountains of St Gervais together with Megeve had a good combination of greens, blues and reds to suit each member of the party. The long piste back to Le Bettex from Mt. D'Arbois is a relaxing way to finish the day. The beginning and end of the season could be prone to lack of snow. We had 90% open during the last Christmas holiday, which was enough. Best in France? Very subjective. |

St. Gervias in 62 days - 22/12/1012
Ally There might be a chance of another list developing, albeit a bit more contentious. Who on the list will be taking their children, if any, during school term time? |

That also beats my 282 days till St. Gervais. (note to self) Stop being too sad. I'm sure there must be other things to think about :twisted: |

I'm going to Banff in April so I will tell you about the pricing levels.
We are going for ten days skiing and we are looking around £6,500 for 2 adults and 2 teenagers for everything. Including budgeting for eating out. Crystal ski will have a Club Hotel (Le Brunerie) at Les Deux Alpes in Feb half term, half board, with everthing included, will cost us the same price. I'm giving you these dates as it's all about school hols for the majority of people when booking. So we thought why not treat ourselves and go to Canada. I'll let you know what it's like when I get back. |
