Designed in a contemporary style and fitted with modern furniture creating an ideal harmony with the wooden ceilings and walls, the spacious living room and adjacent dining room on the ground floor boasts plenty of space for families or a group of friends. A play with contrasts, the charming design is a well done mixture of different materials from wood to silk, slate to woolens, parquet floors to satin and gold threads.

Infos/Activities
More than a ski resort, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in France, embodies the art of Alpine living. Finest Holidays has a selection of luxury ski chalets to rent in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains - available are luxury catered chalets and self-catered chalets.
The territory to explore is vast. Also known as Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc the holiday ski resort is the heart of four villages: Le Fayet at 590m altitude, Saint Gervais at 850m, Saint-Nicolas de Véroce at 1,150m and Le Bettex, which lies at an altitude of 1,400m above sea level. The difference in altitude in the district of Saint Gervais, from 590m (Le Fayet) to 4,807m (summit of Mont-Blanc) is unique among the communities within France.
The quaint 19th century spa town of St Gervais is linked by gondola to the 110-lift skiing terrain of its better known neighbour Megève, sharing 325km of pistes. In addition, when changing mountainsides, St Gervais is directly connected to the ski area of Les Houches in the Vallée de Chamonix via the legendary Tramway du Mont-Blanc (TMB). France's highest cog railway - located on the historical mountaineering route to the summit of Mont-Blanc - takes holidaymakers up to the Nid d'Aigle (Eagle's Nest) at 2,372m.
All of the four villages benefit of access to two ski areas: the huge ski area of Évasion Mont-Blanc, the third largest skiing area in France with around 445km of slopes and a variety of ski touring routes, snowshoeing paths and cross-country ski trails. The second is the Les Houches/Saint-Gervais skiing terrain, accessible via the Bellevue cable car or the Prarion cable car from the village of Les Houches or the TMB from Saint-Gervais, offering 55km of pistes. Highly popular due to its well-oriented ski area and extremely good quality snow, the pleasant slopes of Les Houches-Saint Gervais are appreciated by skiers of every level of skill - the area is a true paradise for family skiing surrounded by nature.
