Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce, Alpine ski resort in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France.
Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce sits on a rocky plateau at 1180 meters beneath Mont-Joly with direct views toward the Mont-Blanc massif. The village connects to wider ski slopes through multiple lifts that serve the larger Evasion Mont-Blanc ski domain.
This settlement traces its roots back to the 9th century, with the earliest church record appearing in 1280. The village later merged into the Saint-Gervais-les-Bains municipality during the 20th century.
The village church displays baroque architectural details that stand out as you walk through the settlement. It forms part of a religious circuit connecting neighboring churches that visitors can explore together.
Winter slopes are accessible for different skill levels while the lift system moves skiers efficiently up the mountain. In summer, marked trails guide hikers through the surrounding landscape with varied terrain.
A former presbytery has housed a Sacred Art Museum since 2010, displaying forty religious artifacts from several centuries. The collection grew from gifts by prosperous local merchants who valued the objects' spiritual significance.
