A great place to stay in Saint Gervais!
A friend and I stayed in this property due to the price of accommodation in Chamonix being extortionate over the UTMB period. I'd stayed in Saint Gervais previously (10 years ago) so I had a good idea about what the village had to offer. The place itself is spotlessly clean and well equipped, the only obvious omissions being the lack of any soap in the 3 bathrooms. We also had to supply our own towels. The property is an easy 15-minute walk from the main commercial area, and 5 minutes from the nearest patisserie in the other direction. An added bonus for us was that the Valléen cable car opened the week we were there. It connects Saint Gervais directly to La Fayet station with the journey taking 6 minutes each way. This normally costs €2.50 each way (it's a bus replacement service) but was free for us since it had literarily just opened for public use. We walked down the gorge to climb on the local crag and caught the gondola back up. The top station is 3 minutes walk from the front door. We had hired a car so we used the provided underground parking. Our hosts, who don't speak any English couldn't have been nicer and forced me to subject them to my broken French! The only criticism I would offer is that the two top rooms are relatively close to the main road that runs behind the property and cars and motorbikes seemed loud at nighttime if the windows were open. I had ear plugs with me for use in the mountain refuges which I used but my friend had no such issue. Recommended.
