The baths of Saint-Gervais are situated at the foot of Mont-Blanc, in the heart of a wonderful park of 10 hectares, crossed by a blusterous river of Bonnant.This peaceful bay with comfortable facilities is an ideal place to explore the unique nature of the Alps.
The valley of the baths park welcomes some important summer events in Saint-Gervais, the highest village of Europe. For example, in July there is a famous holiday of Baths, and in August the mountain guides gather around to celebrate their event.
The baths Park with its symbol, a monumental deer in bronze, is a real paradise for all ages! It concentrates a lot of facilities for leisure and relaxation: natural rocks for escalade, an acrobatic path, tennis courts, a gym, a swimming pool, pétanque, a playground for kids. The enormous territory of the park is also inviting to evade, offering many paths for walking. For example there is a way to reach the centre of Saint-Gervais in a 15 min bucolique walk in the woods.
Pains, fatigue, stress! We do have a solution: a rehabilitation, well-being cure or a course of physical activity adapted for the thermal water with a fitness coach. As our age advances, our organism gradually loses in vitality and dynamism. So the baths of Saint-Gervais were conceived to answer our needs of well-being of everybody, and in all ages.
A charming restaurant, opened all year, just prolongs your relaxation and is related dietically with the bath complex.
Weather permitted, a small touristic train helps you to explore very comfortably the valley.
