The spa lift

Posted on: June 5, 2025
On 3 August 2024, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains inaugurated the Ascenseur des Thermes, a unique innovation in France. This vertical transport system connects the Fayet thermal park to the town centre.

What sets this lift apart is its eco-friendly operation: it uses wastewater as ballast to generate movement, without consuming fossil fuels. Capable of carrying up to 16 passengers, it is accessible free of charge every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The Ascenseur des Thermes is much more than just a means of transport; it embodies Saint-Gervais' commitment to responsible mobility and a greener future.
