Les Gets Ski Resort Guide
Les Gets Ski Resort Guide
Les Gets is a small, friendly resort that offers a good mix of slopes in its own right. However, Les Gets is part of the Portes du Soleil ski area (in the Haute Savoie region) which is huge. This will keep everyone happy and you can village hop for lunch. In total, there are over 650 km of piste to explore. However, it must be noted that this area lies on the fringe of the Alps at a lower elevation than most resorts. As a consequence, snow cannot be guaranteed and the season is somewhat shorter. The town is partly car free and traditional in style. There are plenty of places to eat and drink and the party can continue late into the night, if desired. Les Gets has 66 groomed trails that can be accessed by using the 52 lifts; 5 of these are gondolas. There is a terrain park at Les Gets and cross country skiing over 12 kms.

Visitor Reviews of Les Gets
Reuben Bradshaw from United Kingdom writes:
January 2012. Were a party of 8 (half of us returning a 2nd time). Although not ski in-ski out, private chalets haven't disappointed (chalet Celine 2012). There's something for everyday: spectacular views, good blue, red & blacks, a park at Mont Chery and some great foodie places on and off piste, shopping with free shuttle buses and the local attitude (if you try your best to speak French) adds to the general goodwill shown by the locals.
If you're reading this and considering going for the 1st time (from any destination) Les Gets is a great village and resort.
