WINTER
TIME
Children
are
well
catered
for
here
and
little
ones
as
young
as
2½ years
old
can
participate
in
ski
school.
Ski
passes
are
free

years

SUMMER
TIME
During
the
summer,
for
older
children
there
is
the
St
Gervais
activity
centre,
where
they
can
participate
in
games,
camping,
ice
skating,
rambles,
swimming
and
mini
golf,
or
courses
such
as
painting,
sculpting,
pottery
and
even
a
circus
school.
Some
courses
can
be
booked
for
the
week
or
some
are
short,
one
day
courses,
that
can
be
booked
once
you
are
here.
A
one
day
course
costs
in
the
region
of
20
Euros.
Nearby
there
are
a
number
of
adventure
parks
with
Tyrolienne
zip-wire
rides
and
adventure
obstacle
courses.
There
is
also
pony-trekking
and
a
summer
luge
run
as
well
as
mountain
bike
hire,
tennis
and
mini-golf.
To
incentivise
them
to
go
walking,
why
not
hire
a
donkey
to
take
with
you.
For
swimmers,
St
Gervais
has
a
superb
outdoor
pool.
There
are
several
indoor
pools
nearby
as
well
as
lakes
with
designated
swimming
areas
and
boat
and
pedalo
hire.
Kids
also
love
the
"grown
up"
outings
such
as
the
rack
and
pinion
railway
from
St
Gervais
to
the
Col
de
Voza
and
Nid
d'Aigle
or
the
Montenvers
railway
that
takes
you
to
the
Mer
de
Glace
glacier.
