Saint-Gervais Church

2KM3 Saint-Gervais contemporary art platform
car park and on the post office wall. Access during opening hours
to view the works at the pool and in the different lift stations.<br/>Urban artists have created a contemporary art circuit within
resort by performing works of art in several unusual places.
The underground car park located in the centre of Saint-Gervais
has been transformed into a monumental and unprecedented
platform dedicated to modern art. The north facing facade
of the post office offers a very different interpretation
of the surrounding summits. Finally, the walls of the gondola
stations in Saint-Gervais, Le Bettex and Mont d’Arbois and those
of the swimming pool in Saint-Gervais, are decorated with
a selection of original works. To complete the picture, discover
the fresco by Francois Durafour: an entire wall painted to celebrate
the 95th anniversary of the landing of the first plane
on the “Col du Dome”

Whether for a family outing or a sporty getaway, there's every reason to take this legendary cogwheel train. Contemplating the panorama will leave you with unforgettable memories.
But that's not the only reason to take this cogwheel train, because along the way it reveals all the diversity and variety of our mountain landscapes.
More than just an excursion, a true exploration!
Mountain bikes are accepted on the TMB only on the 1st train, and on the last three.

Nature Reserve
Take time to enjoy and savour its many different facets (lakes, mountain pastures, cliffs, glaciers). Appreciate its varied fauna and flora: chamois, ibexes and black grouse live among the gentians and rhododendrons.
The natural environment is fragile and animal life is easily disturbed, so please help us by being very careful not to interfere with the natural equilibrium.
Help preserve nature for our own and future generations.
Nature Reserves are part of the very rare areas of Haute-Savoie where nature has remained “unspoiled” by human contact. So enjoy them! Savour the silence and don’t forget that the rules exist to remind us that nature must be respected!
