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
John Colmey from France writes:
We came to Les Gets for the last week of March 2012, worried we would find snow, but enjoyed one of the best winter holidays in 11 years of skiing in France. We hired Andy Cavet of LGS for four days to help us find the best snow and improve our technique -- he was fantastic and the children (14 and 15) were leaping on to black slopes by the third day. We rented a chalet in the village from Snowflake chalets which was well outfitted and lovely -- they picked us up at Geneva airport and were helpful throughout. The village is lovely with many cafes and restaurants (try Le Case K2) and bakers, butchers, groceries. Very advanced skiers will want more challenging slopes but for families Les Gets deserves its reputation as a great ski destination. Les Colmeys
