Saint-Gervais Spa: let the waters of the Mont Blanc transform you
The Pays du Mont-Blanc owes its reputation with its bracing, vivifying, climate and the quality of its waters which flow from the glaciers and from the hot springs discovered in 1806 close to the Bonnant, the wild torrent which runs through Saint Gervais.
The Pays du Mont-Blanc has the extraordinary luck to be located in the heart of a mountain range where rocks and glaciers constitute a natural reservoir of mineral-bearing water rich in trace elements. Saint Gervais thermal spa, which became famous in the 19th century, derives its virtues from this geology. The water filters through the mountain to the catchment zone 1,870 meters below and it picks up all its properties on the way down. A buried treasure which led to tourism here and boosted the development of the Pays du Mont-Blanc in general. It was a natural step to add fitness and wellness centres to the therapeutic virtues of the spa waters. Water is a source of many pleasures - the first of which is relaxation. After skiing and lungfuls of fresh mountain air, soaking in a bath of natural essences or having a hot stone massage is magic. And the whole Pays du Mont-Blanc benefits from the quiet and reassuring presence of this Fountain of Youth which gives your winter holidays the little "extra" you will find nowhere else!
