Les Gets Ski Resort

Les Gets is in the Portes du Soleil, which is a vast ski area with 650km of slopes on both sides of the Frech-Swiss border. Les Gets shares its slopes with the neighbouring resort of Morzine. You can expect lots of tree lined runs, which make skiing here a pleasant experience in all weather conditions.

Most of the terrain around this part of the Portes du Soleil has gentle gradients, so it’s not too intimidating for beginners. However, there is plenty of steep off-piste if you’re willing to work for it. If you book an instructor or guide, they may take you to the tree runs on Mont Chery, the mountain opposite the main part of the resort. Due to its steepness, Mont Chery is more suited to intermediate to experienced skiers and snowboarders.

The lower family-friendly slopes are long, wide and not too steep, perfect for getting to grips with your first turns. The higher slopes offer a mix of blues and reds, with a handful of black runs. If you’re up for an adventure, get up early and complete the whole Portes du Soleil circuit, which takes you around the 12 resorts that make up the area.

Les Gets is one of the more polished resorts in the Portes du Soleil, thanks to its blend of modern but stylish buildings and well-preserved traditional chalets. Its layout makes for an easy ski holiday, especially if you have kids. But there are lots of fun après ski bars, and great restaurants to choose from too. You can expect many traditional-style restaurants, but there are also some fantastic fine dining options and even an Aussie restaurant.

Another way that Les Gets makes life easy is its proximity to Geneva airport. It’s just 81km away, so you can be at your accommodation in an hour and a quarter.

FAQ

Les Gets is a beautiful year-round traditional mountain village with cosy little wood and stone chalets at the foot of the mountains.

It is part of the 2nd largest ski area in the world: Les Portes du Soleil (600km of runs) with 286 slopes (34 green /119 blue / 101 red / 32 black) as well as 30 Snowparks, Skicross and Boardercross!

Les Gets is one of the best family-friendly ski resorts in the French Alps, perfectly suited for beginners with its gentle, flat and cruisy runs and is great for tree skiing.

Beginners! Families looking for gentle cruising runs for beginners and intermediate only.

This ski resort is not ideal for the hardcore skier wanting to shred on some black runs.

Les Gets ski resort is great for those wanting the convenience of being close to Geneva airport and skiing in the second largest ski area in the world – Les Portes du Soleil.

Les Gets is a real authentic French village open all year round, and so appeals to people looking for a traditional mountain village atmosphere with cute little chalets dotted around the foot of the mountain.

There are no wide open bowls here but skiers looking for some beautiful tree skiing will be fulfilled.

Another good thing about a low altitude ski resort is it doesn’t get as cold for the children and allows for skiing in the forest which is perfect on white-out cloudy or windy days.

Les Gets has plenty of winter activities such as ice skating, snowshoeing, paragliding, dog sledding, bowling, tobogganing, snowmobile rides, husky dog sledging, ski joering and even has a mechanical music museum and cinema. Surprisingly for a family-focussed ski resort village, there is a good selection of bars, restaurants and cafes.

Les Gets is 1hour 10min drive by private transfer from Geneva Airport.
It’s a 25min drive from Cluses train station, the closest train station in France to Les Gets.

Next winter, Les Gets Ski Resort is scheduled to open from December 14th 2023 to April 7th 2024.

There are 12 ski resorts in 2 countries (8 ski resorts in France + 4 ski resorts in Switzerland) which are part of Les Portes du Soleil ski area which include: Abondance (FR), Avoriaz 1800 (FR), Champéry (CH), Châtel (FR), La Chapelle d’Abondance (FR), Les Gets (FR), Montriond (FR), Morgins (CH), Morzine-Avoriaz, St Jean d’Aulps (FR), Torgon (CH), Val-dilliez Les Crosets Champoussin (CH).

January 6th to Feb 10th 2024 is the cheapest and best time to go (low season), followed by 9th March until mid-April 2024 (the shoulder season).

For Australians travelling to France to ski during our January summer holidays, we benefit from the cheaper rates on offer in the French ski resorts’ low season.  This happens to be when the French and Europeans go back to work and school after the 2 week Christmas and New Year holiday period.

Europeans and the Brits flock to the resorts through February into March (DO NOT TRAVEL from 10th Feb to 9th Mar 2024 as this is the French school holidays). The slopes are extremely busy, the queues at the lifts are long and the price for accommodation is very expensive during that time.  Even all the restaurants are booked out!

Typically, in January, the snow is dry with the largest build up. It is also the coldest time, so you will need to make sure that you dress warmly. It is still wise to choose a high-altitude resort in case mother nature has not been kind earlier in the season. Bear in mind though, that snow-making is used to supplement natural snowfall in high traffic areas.

So, not only is January the cheapest time to go skiing in the French Alps, it is also the best time to go thanks to the weather conditions, the lack of queues, more availability and choice of accommodation and you get to breathe fresh air with your loved ones, rather than with thousands of other people!
