Saint-Gervais is a true spa town. In Le Fayet, on the valley floor, the Saint-Gervais baths — Les Bains du Mont-Blanc — draw on thermal water rising from the massif, in a Belle Époque park at the foot of the gorges. People come for a cure, but also for a calm wellness break at the foot of Mont Blanc.
What you do
Saint-Gervais’s thermal water is valued for the skin and the respiratory tract: it feeds recognised cures (dermatology, ENT, mucous membranes). Alongside the medical care, a wellness area offers baths, body treatments and relaxation around the thermal water. All in a heritage setting inherited from the golden age of alpine spas. It’s the perfect way to recover after skiing or a day in the mountains.
Booking
Cures and access to the wellness area are booked directly with the thermal establishment, according to the options (day treatment, cure, wellness packages) and seasonal hours. Book treatments ahead in busy periods.
Good to know
When? The wellness area can be enjoyed year-round; recognised cures follow a seasonal calendar.
Who for? Cure patients (by prescription) as well as visitors after relaxation: both uses coexist.
After exercise. A lovely way to recover after a day of skiing, trail running or hiking.
The setting. The Le Fayet thermal park, at the foot of the gorges, is worth the stroll in itself.
