There is a variety of skiing to suit all levels. However, this magical resort truly excels is in the service that it provides to families.

Les Gets is an attractive, sunny village of traditional chalet-style buildings.

It’s on the low pass leading to Morzine with a very French feel to it. Appetizing food and wine shops line the main street. Alongside this charm, it also affords access to the huge Portes du Soleil ski area. The resort has a great selection of non-skiing activities to keep kids and families occupied. It also offers nursery and kindergarten options.

Pretty, charming and unspoiled, Les Gets has something special to offer every visitor.

There is a variety of skiing to suit all levels. However, this magical resort truly excels is in the service that it provides to families. The resort is a proud owner of the ‘Famille Plus Montagne’ label. This means that the needs of younger guests have been carefully considered. Facilities include a medical service for minor injuries and events. One of the popular events are carpentry workshops where children are taught to make wooden models, are geared towards providing them with a safe and exciting stay.

The area of slopes it shares with Morzine is the most extensive local network in the region. In some respects Les Gets is the better base for that shared area.

If you have a car, you can quite easily access the main Portes du Soleil circuit by driving to the gondola at Ardent. If you don’t, the circuit is much more easily accessed from Morzine, with its quick access to Avoriaz.

The local pass saves a fair bit on a Portes du Soleil pass and makes a lot of sense for many visitors. One factor to bear in mind when planning trips is that, alongside Morzine, Les Gets sits at a lower altitude than many resorts and as such suffers from a shorter season and deteriorating snow as spring arrives.
