Skiing & snowboarding

The Evasion ski domain includes St Gervais, Mégève, Les Contamines, Cote 2000, La Giettaz, Jaillet, Combloux and provides a massive 450 km of pistes! Everywhere you look you'll be rewarded with stunning views of Europe's highest and most dramatic peaks, including the Mont Blanc itself.

St Gervais has a fun park and half pipe. Extensive snow making facilities ensure that lower runs stay open late into the season.

Just two minutes up the road from St Gervais is the village and ski resort of Les Contamines, also covered on the Evasion ski domain pass. The ski area here consists of 3 massive bowls linked together to provide a diverse and interesting set of runs. Snowboarders in particular will enjoy the efficient lift system that enables you to access just about everywhere with a chairlift.

Whatever your standard, you'll enjoy skiing the Evasion ski domain and appreciate the short lift queues and empty runs.

From St Gervais it's also possible to access the Les Houches ski area in the Chamonix Valley. And with Chamonix itself being only half an hour away there is also the opportunity to ski the renowned Vallee Blanche down Europe’s longest glacier, the Mer de Glace.
