After some time off from our ski session that happened back in March 2022, the family decided to go to the town for a visit. I will be loading several photos on this post. By the way, I am using a crappy phone so my photos are not that amazing. I have a DSLR Nikon D5100 camera but never got the chance to use it since it is bulky and I have some kids to look after. The easiest camera I can handle is my phone.
This is the view of Mont Blanc from our chalet.
Based on Wikipedia:
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains is a French commune located in the department of Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is located in the Val Montjoie, in the upper valley of the Arve, in the historic province of Faucigny, and which is called the country of Mont-Blanc.

This is a chalet near us so it looks the same as our chalet.
This is the chalet of our neighbor.
This is the view of the road while my husband was driving the car.
This is the town of Saint Gervais Les Bains outside of the rental ski
You can buy different fromages and sauccisons here at Leon d'la Savoie.
My son wanted to walk alone

This is the church of Saint Gervais les Bains and the two photos below are the views behind the church.
Here is a monument behind the church.
Another view of the town
We only spent an hour of the town as we needed the kids to get out of the house. My 2-year old son loved to walk around and my daughter who was about 9 months old was in her trolley.
My son wanted to go the park but my mother-in-law had a dog which dogs were not allowed to go inside the park.
Actually, it wasn't easy to walk around with the kids as the baby girl wanted to be in my arms. And the toddler boy wanted to run around. It was just a quick walk around of the town.
We just went out so that we can buy the saucissons and fromages as a souvenir we can give to our neighbor and family friend.

Thanks @hivebuzz !
That's great @itravelrox! We're excited to see your commitment to Hive! Keep it up!
I'm looking forward to seeing more beautiful places in your area 😊.. Are you still into traveling now?
This is just one of our holiday yearly destinations and the main activity we do is skiing. We just got back from a holiday, so right now, back to stay-at-home-mom. Hehe!
the chalet looks great and such a nice tour of this charming area
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
indeed, the chalet always looks charming. It always reminds me of a song, The Sound of Music. hehe!
👍🙂👍
That chalet looks awesome! I can’t imagine how it looks inside, must be something extravagant? 😉
It's actually comfy inside, just like home. Looks cozy and warm. With proper bedrooms, bath, kitchen, and living room.
Oohh with many rooms? Fireplace? Hahaha I guess I’ve watched too many films
Our first Airbnb has 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, with a view of Mont Blanc, but no fireplace. Although our current house in the countryside has a fireplace. Hehe!
It must be nice to spend a holiday in a chalet in the French Alps. Too bad you didn't have much time to explore the village, but I understand it must be a big challenge sometimes to go out with two so young children;)
Yeah, it's always a challenge to go out with the kids. Although we never had much time to explore the village, my husband and I spent our time skiing for 5 days. Wake up, have breakfast, ski, go back home.
