Les Gets Ski Holidays
The charming ski resort of Les Gets is located just 70km from Geneva Airport in the huge Portes du Soleil ski area. A small and pretty village set among rolling peaks, Les Gets is made up of traditional chalet-style buildings with shops, restaurants, hotels and bars lining the main street.
Les Gets is an excellent choice for families, with lots of gentle rolling slopes, most of which return directly to the village, and also serves as a great base for skiing adventures in the larger Portes du Soleil ski area. This charming resort is a firm favourite with Ski Independence clients.
Skiing in Les Gets
Les Gets sits at the south-west tip of the Portes du Soleil ski area which offers approximately 600km of pistes across 12 resorts in France and Switzerland including Morzine and Avoriaz. You certainly won’t run out of places to ski to from Les Gets.
When staying in Les Gets, you have a choice of two lift passes depending on how much skiing you plan to do. With Les Gets offering easy access to neighbouring Morzine, the Les Gets-Morzine pass is a good choice for beginners and leisurely skiers. Within the Les Gets-Morzine area, the Chavannes Bowl and the Mont Chery areas are popular options thanks to their choice of runs for intermediates and advanced skiers, as well as a good selection of mountain restaurants.
For those who look to cover a lot of mileage or who are likely to seek higher and steeper slopes, the Portes du Soleil pass is the best choice, allowing you unlimited access to the full network of pistes across all the resorts in the Portes du Soleil area. This includes resorts such as Avoriaz and Chatel which have an extensive variety of slopes for all abilites, snowparks and off-piste options as well as one of the world's steepest runs, the infamous Swiss Wall.
