This apartment in Saint Gervais les Bains is a perfect base from which to explore the mountains, whether skiing, walking or cycling. The accommodation is very comfortable, well laid out with all the quality mod cons you need. The lack of WiFi was, in our opinion, a bonus, as it meant quality family time both on and off the slopes. There is 3G signal in the apartment if you need to catch up with emails. Bedding and towels were supplied for our visit and there is plenty of hot water for baths and showers after a hard day on the slopes. Mr and Madame Ferstl were very helpful on arrival, but do not speak English. It is a simple 200m walk to the gondola to get up on to the mountain and storage for skis down in the garage at the base of the block. Saint Gervais has some excellent places to eat; we particularly liked the Apres Ski Tapas menu at the Pur Bar. If skiing, it is worth heading over to Les Contamines for the day and also spending some time in Megeve, which both have excellent skiing. All in all, an excellent place to stay.
