Skiing in the Saint-Gervais Megève ski area
Connected to the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, the Saint-Gervais Megève resort offers over 400 km of slopes for all skill levels. Here, skiing takes you through pine forests, alpine meadows, and spectacular views of Mont Blanc. You can glide from the morning sun until the final light of the evening, enjoying reliable snow cover and perfectly groomed runs. From the Refuge, access is direct: strap on your skis, head out to explore the slopes, and then return to the warmth of the Chez la Tante restaurant for a lunch by the fire in a friendly, alpine atmosphere.
Destination Saint-Gervais
Between nature and well-being, Saint-Gervais captivates with its authenticity. As a historic spa town, it offers a soothing setting facing Mont Blanc. Its picturesque village, galleries, thermal baths, and forests make it a prime destination for rejuvenation. Saint-Gervais provides direct access to the Refuge du Mont d’Arbois via a gondola that rises gently above the snow-covered pines. Up there, the landscape opens onto ridges and slopes, and the spirit of the Refuge truly comes to life: calm, vast horizons, and shared moments. An ideal stopover to discover a mountain experience that is both sincere and vibrant.
The chic hideaway experience
Light wood, wool, felt and antique objects make up a cozy decor where everything invites you to let go. The Refuge Chez la Tante is not a hotel: it is a separate place to live, a confidential refuge that combines authenticity and alpine elegance. Discreet spa, indoor pool, bowling, panoramic bar... everything is there, without ostentation. We come here to breathe, to find each other, to slow down. And leave with this precious impression of having touched, for a moment, the essentials.
A table at the top
The high-altitude restaurant Chez la Tante celebrates contemporary mountain cuisine, centered on the embers and the sincerity of the product. At noon, skiers linger there, attracted by the scents of wood fire; in the evening, only the guests of the Refuge share this privileged moment, in the newfound calm of the peaks. White tablecloths, attentive service, view of the Aravis mountains: here, each meal becomes an experience, between generosity and accuracy.
The art of cutting yourself off from the world
At an altitude of 1,800 meters, Le Refuge Chez la Tante cultivates the rare art of disconnection. Accessible only by cable car, this alpine cocoon is revealed as a timeless break. Here, the mountain invites itself into every window, silence replaces the noise of the world, and we find a taste for simple things. An address for initiates, designed for those who love the mountains in their purest version, between discreet elegance, wood fire and an endless horizon.
