The Mont d'Arbois "Les Marmottons" beginners' area A beginners' area at the top of the ski area
This area, specially designed for beginners in search of fun and discovery, offers a breathtaking panorama of the majestic Mont-Blanc range. Accessible via the Bettex-Mont d’Arbois gondola, which transports you comfortably to an altitude of 1840 meters, this space promises a progressive, entertaining and memorable skiing experience for the whole family.
For the youngest to discover the joys of skiing in complete safety, there’s nothing like the Espace Débutant du Mont d’Arbois, nicknamed “Les Marmottons”. Here, toddlers are introduced to the thrill of the slopes in an environment specially designed for them. Gentle slopes, conveyor belts and specially adapted facilities guarantee a smooth first experience. Supervised by experienced instructors, your little skiers will develop with confidence and pleasure, while awakening their passion for the mountains.
What makes this beginners’ area unique is, of course, its breathtaking view of Mont Blanc. As young (and not-so-young) skiers gain confidence and explore the slopes, they’ll marvel at the majestic panorama stretching out before them. It’s an invitation to connect with the grandeur of the mountain from their very first steps on the snow.
Fun areas, games and snow activities
Beyond skiing, Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc offers a multitude of play areas for days full of laughter and discovery. Specially designed snow parks invite you to glide in new forms: sledges, buoys, toboggan carpets and other winter pleasures.
Your children become adventurers, exploring fun trails and modules adapted to their desires. Snowy games, sculptures and animations help create a festive and magical environment, where memories are formed as laughter and smiles abound.
An exciting ski-adventure course awaits young skiers eager for new sensations. Ready to discover? Join us for a sequence of banked turns, whoops, jumps, marmot slalom, arches and banging chimes…
Situated in an open, sunny landscape, the Charlotte la Marmotte “spot” becomes the ideal playground for families in search of joy and adventure. Its easy access is a major asset: skiers and pedestrians can reach it with ease from the arrival of the Mont-d’Arbois gondola.
Snow games and inviting picnic areas invite families to have fun and create unique memories. Toboggans await budding little adventurers, while comfortable sofas let you relax while gazing at Mont-Blanc.
Green & Blue Course Trails accessible to all
For families looking to share some fun on the slopes, the green and blue runs offer safe, accessible options. Green runs are ideal for confidence-seeking beginners, with gentle inclines and wide spaces. The blue runs, meanwhile, are the perfect playground for progressing as a family.
You’ll share quality moments while enjoying the alpine scenery. Each at their own pace, you’ll explore the snowy slopes in complete serenity, creating lasting memories of complicity and sharing.
