Les Gets Ski Resort
The pretty 120km tree-lined slopes of Les Gets are directly linked to those in Morzine and with a quick drive or short hop by bus, the vast Portes du Soleil ski area is at your fingertips.
Many people staying in Les Gets don’t even venture out across into the rest of the Portes du Soleil, as the local slopes are extremely varied and will keep all but the keenest skiers and boarders happy for a week. Almost all the pistes are rated blue or red, but there is a good beginner zone at the summit of the Chavannes gondola and there are some steeper blacks at Mont Chery, as well as some extensive freeride terrain at Chamossière above Morzine. The woods afford excellent protection in bad weather, but just note that the altitude is low, so snow quality can suffer early and late in the season.
The town itself is pretty and is dominated by traditional, chalet-style buildings. Basing yourself at the base of the Chavannes gondola and express chair affords you the best access to the slopes and the quickest access to the linked ski area. On-mountain restaurants are plentiful and usually of a high standard, whilst in town there are also some good bars and dining options.
What's New for 2020/21?
Les Gets has added two new pistes for this season, a blue run in the Perriers ski area and a ski touring piste on the Mont Chery mountain. The ski touring piste will run the whole length of the mountain, starting from the base of the gondola at village level, passing the mid station and finishing at the summit at 1826 metres. Additionally, a completely new snow cannon network and reservoir has been added in the Ranfolly bowl.
