To welcome you home after a hard day on the slopes will be an afternoon tea - homemade cakes, biscuits, bread, jams, tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

The resort began in the 1800s with the opening of it’s now refurbished natural spa. St Gervais forms part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski area – France’s 4th largest ski area with over 107 lifts, 220 actual ski runs which cover 445kms. This doesn’t include Les Houches which can be accessed by the Mont Blanc Tramway. The Sk iing ST GERVAIS “Brilliant for beginners and Chamonix is close for the advanced” St Gervais is within Evasion Mont Blanc ski area where107 ski lifts connect 445kms of piste and three main resorts St Gervais, Megeve and Les Contamines. You can also ski Les Houches by taking the Mont Blanc Tramway directly from the centre of the village. The whole ski area is uncrowded and queues even in the height of the season are rare. The skiing is fabulous and the ski area of choice for many Chamonix high mountain guides on their day off! The ski day begins by taking the gondola 28 A B SO L U TE L Y SNO W | Tel: 01248712567 Your ski pass also covers Les Contamines – a true alpine Gem. Just a few minutes by minibus (we run a free shuttle from the chalet), Les Contamines is somewhere you should spend at least a day exploring. Advanced from just outside the village (served by free ski bus and our own minibus shuttle service) which climbs up to Bettex with stunning views from the gondola over the Mont Blanc massive. Begi nners There are couple of ski schools. The ESF St Gervais has a specially designed beginners and childrens area with it’s own covered ‘magic carpet’! After a day or so beginners will soon venture further up the mountain tackling some of the glorious green and blue runs that meander down through the forest. By day 4 or 5 most beginners will be able to make their way over to Megeve and back! Intermedi ates The Evasion Mont Blanc is a dream for intermediates – long, cruising blues and reds rack up the miles of piste. The slopes are beautifully prepared – after all the area does include Megeve- France’s original chic resort! Evasion Mont Blanc is an area that doesn’t really appear on many advanced skiers radar – maybe it’s because the area is so close to Chamonix that it becomes overlooked. However, the area is fabulous – miles of piste, different areas to explore and also fresh tracks to be had many days after a snowfall 25 minutes from St Gervais by our free shuttle bus is Chamonix – hire a guide for a day to ski the stunning Vallee Blanche; head up to the Grands Montets high above Argentiere for some big steep mountain skiing; or cruise around Brevant and Flegere.

Grandvalira is Andorra’s biggest ski region and incorporates the resorts of Soldeu el Tarter, Pas de la Casa/Grau Roig, Encamp, and Canillo. The area offers 173 pistes in total with skiing between 1710 and 2640 metres altitude and a maximum vertical of 930 metres. ANDORRA “The undiscovered gem that great fun on and off the slopes” 38 A B SO L U TE L Y SNO W | Tel: 01248712567 catered for with the opportunity for advanced skiers to ski off-piste between the trees. Snow cannons cover 170km of 210m of the ski area and with Soldeu and most villages in Grandvalira at an altitude above 1,700m and the skiing mostly between 2,000 -2,680m the area is extremely snow sure. EL TARTER Pas de la casa This lively resort (referred to locally as Pas) is situated just a few hundred metres from the French border in the parish of Encamp. The resort sits at an altitude of 2050m with the highest lift at 2640m making Pas the highest resort in the Pyrenees. Due to its superb location (and heavy investment in artificial snow making) Pas enjoys an excellent snow record complimented by plenty of blue skies and sunshine. CANILLO Canillo is a traditional Andorran mountain village of pretty stone clad buildings set in the valley at 1500m. The bubble lift rises from the centre of the resort up to El Forn at 2000m where a seris of chair lifts opens up the whole of the Grandvalira ski area. Canillo has a wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants as well as a large sports centre with ice rink and swimming pool. If you are looking for a refined resort with access to some wonderful skiing then Canillo ticks all the boxes! SOLDEU Set on a steep hillside and at a base altitude of 1,800m Soldeu is a charming village and vibrant ski resort. Soldeu is the ski capital of Andorra and boasts a lively après ski scene and an excellent and chic reputation. With 18 green slopes, 38 blue, 32 red and 22 black runs all categories of on-piste skier are El Tarter has grown over recent years to the point where it now seems no smaller than Soldeu. The main local slopes are on open mountainsides above the woods, though there are runs in the woods back to all of the resort lift bases. This is a good resort for beginners. It is relatively snowsure but the snowmaking is expanding each year. The Espiolets beginner area and playground has recently been upgraded with new rope tows. The ACG Snowpark, caters for freestylers with instructors on hand to offer advice on how you can better your tricks and jumps and a dedicated maintenance team is in charge daily throughout the season. The ski school has an excellent reputation for standards of English, quality of tuition and friendliness. Children aged three to ten can attend a non-ski beginner. Children’s ski school starts from six years old. w w w . a b s o l u t e l y s n o w . c o m | i n f o @ a b s o l u t e l y s n o w . c o m | A B SO L U TE L Y SNO W 39 Himalaia Pas & Cal Ruiz Pas DE LA CASA , ANDORRA Ski Plaza & Font d’Argent Canillo, ANDORRA Himalaia Pas Ski Plaza The H imalai a Pas i s in a w o nd er fu l lo ca tion for ski i ng – sk i to and f r o m 80m o f the hote l, the n ear es t s k i l i ft i s jus t a 350m ski away.
