Went to Les Gets and stayed at hotel La Chinfrey last year. Hotel bit out of the way.

Went to Les Gets with 10 friends first week of Febuary, and were greeted by a massive downpour of powder from the night before we arrived. Woke up the next morning with blue skies, and took to the slopes which weren't too busy even being a Sunday. Had a fantastic week skiing and snowboarding, and thought there were plenty of runs for me and my friends; some of us had not snowboarded before where as others had quite a lot of experience and still found the slopes good enough! Mont Chery was good as it had the Snowpark Lesgets up there, but also a few good runs off the back side of the mountain. Night-life was ok, but quite quiet to the bigger built up resorts. But being the beautiful Alpine village that it is, what more could you ask for! Made a little vid whilst out there. Check it out on YouTube. Shots from some of our favourite runs on the Les Gets side and footage from the Snowpark on Mont Chery. Can view the video by searching "Snowboarding Les Gets 2010 part 1"

Went to Les Gets last year, in February, for my first ever skiing experience and it was truly amazing. So many different places to go and to visit. Not too busy, although at around midday, the queues were massive for some of the chair lifts at the bottom of the mountain. The great thing is, you can avoid these kinds of things because of all the different options available. For example, the Ranfolly (<sp) bowl, which has a great slection of blacks and reds, had a few lessons, and despite having to be moved up about 6 times, we found a nice group with a funny instructor who took us off-piste and generally knew all the best places to go, which was ace. Nightlife at Les Gets was average, but fair. It all depends on what you want!! The town has 2 main nightclubs if you can call them that! The Igloo is one to be avoided in my opinion as it's very busy, very expensive to get in and for drinks, and they played 9in my opinion) rubbish music. if you're after a drink in a bar however, the bush bar is very lively and not too expensive. If you're after something quieter but don't mind playing more, the Black Bear is also very, very nice. The town itself is beautiful with a lovely little bakery which we ate lunch in everyday. We stayed in the Bluebell Challet, which was also very, very good, with friendly staff, good facilities (sauna, internet, movies) very good food (3 course dinner with bottle of red and white every night and bacon and eggs in the morning) and a minibar offering beer, wine, spirits etc if you didn't fancy a night out. They (the British owners of the challet) also guided us on the slopes and off-piste which was excellent, as they obviously knew the very best places to go. All in all, Les Gets was a very pleasent experience for my first time skiing. Sorry if my spelling is really bad!!

We had a self-catering holiday for the first time in Les Gets last winter with Hamish at Alpine Inspirations and are we are going again this winter. They had a great choice of chalets and they have even more now, so check them out. It is a charming village and, with all its lights, is like fairyland. The skiing at Les Gets for beginners and intermediates was just excellent. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the latest snowfalls continue and are so excited - we can't wait! The Bar Bush and Canadian bar are good hangouts for apres-ski, and we recommend L'Outa as the best restaurant in the village. The Grand Ourse on Mont Chery and the Vaffieu at the top of the Les Folliets chairlift are the best mountain restaurants, we think. Not cheap, but a change from spag bol.

Wow, what a resort Les Gets is. I came at Xmas for my first visit to Les Gets. There was perfect snow on and off-piste which was fab. I'm back for my third time this season staying with mrski cally mally; a great laugh with great food and wonderful staff. Les Gets has great restaurants and bars; the Dublin Inn is rocking with live bands. I've already booked to spend another two weeks at Les Gets.

Morzine-Les Gets is a great ski area for families with plenty of varied slopes for all abilities. The experts might get a little bored and they can always head over to Avoriaz and beyond (over to Morzine and cross the town on le petit train). Mont Chery on the other side of town is quiet and has enjoyable reds with a few blacks and probably the restaurant with the best food in the Portes du Soleil, namely La Grande Ourse. Service is idiosyncratic at times but the meals are unlike anything else served on the slopes - lobster tartiflette, Cornish sausages (I know, I know) etc. Les Lhottys at the top of the Nauchets lift out of the Ranfoilly bowl is often busy and serves standard fare but the staff are jolly and welcoming even during the half-term scrum; not always the case in all restaurants. Les Gets or Morzine - both excellent.

We have been going to Les Gets for 6 years now and it is the most friendly and picturesque resort we have skied in France. The people are fantastic, the skiing beautiful and there is lots to do in the town for the children. There are some excellent chalets to rent. I can highly recommend this accommodation for two families of up to 10 people. The ski instruction at 360 is great as well. Enjoy.

I have stayed in Les Gets many times over the last 14 years. It's a great family resort with fab skiing at any time of the season, Although Les Gets is not a high resort the snow is always good. They look after the skiing and pistes and there is an easy access to higher resort of Avoriaz. We always stay with Ski Blue Ridge at Jane and Robs who are fabulous hosts. They always have a fab chef, show people the best skiing and collect you from the airport and take all the stress of the holiday away from you. All you have to do is get on a plane or turn up they do the rest. Look them up.

Les Gets is truly magical. Plenty of skiing on gorgeous tree-lined pistes. It's full of friendly people and extremely welcoming to families. It's only 1 hour from Geneva. For accommodation, you can choose from a wide variety of hotels and chalets. There are heaps of restaurants and bars but to my mind, the best for multi-cultural 'craic' is Le Pub Irlandais in the main street. Here, you'll meet Irish, British, French & Dutch who, like you, are there to have a great holiday!

Les Gets - we love it! Have been going for many years now. Started off as an adult group and loved the apres-ski events and the relaxed atmosphere in the bars - not too busy or crowded! Now have kids and it is even better! It has superb childcare options and the Chavannes mid-station can't be beaten for a superb family meeting place. Lunch at the YETI followed by sledging for the little ones and some great skiing for Mum and Dad too! We stayed in Chalet Gentiane (alpinenavigations.com) which has been superbly renovated. Stunning alpine chalet right in the centre of the village and they looked after us so well we can't wait to go back. Lets hope it is a snowy winter !!!
