Residence les Arolles
Residence les Arolles is a well-kept self-catering residence in the Le Nérey d'en Haut area of St Gervais, sitting around 1300m from the resort centre and roughly the same distance from the Bettex-Mont d'Arbois gondola. It's a calm, residential part of the resort with open views down towards the village - away from the bustle, but close enough to everything you need. Spread across three four-storey Alpine townhouses (each with a lift), the 34 apartments suit couples and families looking for a straightforward, good-value base in the Evasion Mont Blanc ski area.
Apartments at Les Arolles are all about easy comfort - expect cosy mountain touches, handy kitchenettes with everything you need (fridge, microwave, dishwasher, cookware), and private balconies in many of the units for that morning coffee with a view. Whether you're a couple, a family, or a small group, there's a layout to suit, from studios up to apartments sleeping eight. Each place comes with a TV, blackout curtains for those well-earned lie-ins, and you can request a hair dryer if you need one. Just a heads up: beds and towels aren't included as standard, so pop that on your packing or budgeting list.
When it's time to unwind after a day on the slopes, Les Arolles has you covered. There's a sauna for soothing tired legs and a heated outdoor pool that's perfect for a post-ski dip when the weather's right. There's a communal ski rack (for ski storage only, not boots), and if you're driving, covered parking is available for a little extra.
The on-site team is small and friendly, ready to help with check-in and share their tips on what to see and do around the resort. The village centre, with its supermarket, restaurants, and bars, is about a 15-minute stroll or a quick drive away. The Bettex gondola is also around 900m on foot - and if you stash your ski kit at the bottom station overnight, that morning walk is a breeze. Having a car is definitely handy here, especially if you fancy exploring Chamonix or Megève for a day.
St Gervais is a bit of a hidden gem - quieter and easier on the wallet than its glitzy neighbours, but still giving you access to the huge 445km Evasion Mont Blanc ski area. Les Arolles is a comfy, no-fuss base that lets you make the most of it all. Want to see what else is on offer?
