It might be worth reviewing another's comment that Les Gets 'never fails to disappoint' i.e. It's always rubbish! I think he's trying to say 'it always meets expectations'.

Great place for intermediates/beginners. 3 of us went at half term inc my 15 yr old son. We drove down to save on flight costs and self catered, brought 3 meals with us pre-prepared: all wine and beer, snacks etc, so made saving there as well. Took 14 hours but we stopped Friday night south of Dijon to sleep. Managed to get into Les Gets and on piste by 1pm on the Saturday. Stayed at the Perrriere end of the village to avoid crowds at Chavanne (half term); 2 min walk to lift, which was the best decision ever as we could get into the outback and ski fresh pisted runs in the morning before they got chopped up. It was a 15min walk to town but the bus goes every 15 mins and it was fine. Les Gets is a really nice place and we have been here 3 times now, 2 skiing and one summer. We have though outgrown it in terms of the skiing it offers and will be finding a higher resort for next year. But I would throughly recommend it and if you are looking for a ski holiday on a budget then look into driving; the whole week (6.5 days skiing) inc every single expense cost £3600 which at half term is unbelievable, and we still ate out at nice restaurants for 4 nights. We could have skied the Saturday as well but as the snow was not the best by then we decided to come home.

I have been driving clients to and from Les Gets for over 10 years. This family ski resort never fails to deliver unbeatable surprises, short transfer time, fantastic slopes for all standards and fun place to sample off-piste fun. Plenty of English speaking French, all willing to help you have the ski holiday of a lifetime.

Skied in lots of places but always come back to Les Gets. Great village, runs and access to some steep and deep in Avoriaz, if you need that fix!! For me, nothing bad to say; its all good, good, good.

Have stayed in Les Gets for the past 6 years and it never fails to disappoint. Lovely traditional Alpine village with a nice balance of places to enjoy après-ski. Very family friendly but also some great bars for child free groups to enjoy. Lots of varied runs for all abilities available on the Morzine/Les Gets lift pass and some fantastic mountain restaurants, Pointe De Nyon being a particular favourite. Always stay in the fabulous Chalet Gentiane. Ideally located in the town but only a very short walk to both the main Chavanne and Mont Chery lifts, and the bars!!. Chalet Gentiane is a beautiful luxury catered chalet, the food is always first class and the accommodation is exceptional. Would recommend Les Gets and Chalet Gentiane in particular for a fantastic holiday.

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

We have skied in Les Gets over the past 4 seasons as it is only an hours drive from Geneva. It is a pretty village which is great for families. Although not the highest resort in the region the guys who look after the pistes do a great job. Even in winter of 2010/11 when snow was thin the ground decent skiing was available due to all their hard work. There is a good range of places to eat, in the village and on the slopes. Our favourite for lunch is La Croix Blanche, on the Chavannes side, who do a decent Plat du Jour for around 14€. For light snacks and coffee try Le Yeti, right by where the ski schools meet up with their pupils. Very handy if you are waiting for the kids to come back from a lesson. Amongst the ski schools who meet there are LGS. If you are looking for English speaking instructors I would highly recommend them. They are a group of 4 English guys who are great teachers no matter what your age or ability is. From our experience great with kids and those of us who are rather nervous about getting out on the slopes. If you are looking for somewhere to stay away from the centre of the village I would recommend the chalet accommodation on the Mont Caly side. A bit quieter than other parts but still serviced by a regular free bus which stops at the various ski lifts around the village.

Skied in Les Gets every year now since 2007; has something for everyone being linked into the massive Porte du Soleil area and is a really pretty alpine village. If you are looking for ski schools/one to one private tuition, highly recommend the team at LGS Ski School. They are all British, have years of experience and always manage to find exactly the right style of teaching / use of words that works for you. I and various friends have booked lessons with them numerous times and always find that another piece of the "Great skiing jigsaw" has fitted into place. And they are all great fun to spend 3 hours with too!

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.
