Ski Holidays in Les Gets, France

Les Gets is an ideal ski weekend destination, only 50kms from Geneva or 20kms from Cluses for travel by the TGV.

Les Gets is part of the Portes du Soleil ski area , which includes the ski resorts of Abondance, Avoriaz, Chatel, Champery, Torgan and Les Gets’ neighbouring resort, Morzine. Les Gets is a popular French resort especially for a family skiing holiday, due to its good children’s facilities and reasonable price. Tucked away in the French Alps, ski holidays in les Gets offer a typical French ambience with a few bars and restaurants, however, for a more lively nightlife you will need to visit the ski resort of Morzine.

Les Gets has more pistes than any of the other resorts in the Portes du Soleil circuit, with a local ski pass covering les Gets, Nyon and Le Pleney. For a week ski holiday it's worth considering only taking the local pass as Les Gets is not ideally situated for access to the rest of Portes du Soleil.

Les Gets is compact and charming with most activities happening along the two streets running up to the pretty church. Nearly all ski accommodation is convenient for the skiing. At the end of the day the shops, bars and tea rooms are packed but night life is more subdued. It’s a resort where people return again and again.
Please note: number of lifts and runs for Portes du Soleil ski area.

Les Gets was great! A group of 8 of us, aged 25ish, stayed at the Chalet Johmarons with our excellent host Will. We were all boarders and the skill level varied from beginners to experts, but Les Gets accommodated us all. Excellent base for exploring the Portes du Soleil region, we all managed (even the beginners) to board from Avoriaz through Morzine back to Les Gets which was a great experience. Only downside is that there’s not much to do in the village in the evenings, but if there’s a group of you you'll have a great time in the chalets. Also good romantic spot, as I got engaged on Pointe de Chery!!

Les Gets is a charming resort in the vast Portes du Soleil ski area. The lift pass includes the neighbouring resort of Morzine, which opens up a good number of (mostly beginner/intermediate) blue/red ski runs. It's a great resort for families, and is well-served by the ski operators. It's a lovely village resort with a wide range of restaurants from family-friendly to more expensive. Many traditional food options, including the famous tartiflette, a dish of potatoes "au gratin" with reblochon cheese and lardons - yum! Plenty to do for non-skiers and apre-ski. Great ice-rink in the centre of town, and a variety of more 'extreme' winter sports (bob-sleigh, ice-climbing) are available. A good choice if you prefer the more traditional resorts to the concrete jungle!
