Les Gets Ski Holidays

A charming and peaceful family friendly gem nestled within the vast expanse of the Portes du Soleil winter wonderland 

Les Gets is a French Savoyard postcard detailed with dainty wooden chalets and buildings with beautiful balconies. Perched atop the mountain, you'll discover a wealth of diverse ski runs, many of which wind their way through enchanting forests. What's more, your ski pass will cover a whopping 650km of piste (406 miles) that include fab resorts such as Chatel and you can even venture into Switzerland, allowing you to conquer two countries in a single day! 

When it comes to dining, you'll be spoilt with a delightful array of options. You can go all-in for an exquisite fine dining experience or opt for a classic French culinary adventure. As the sun sets, the outdoor ice rink comes alive under the stars with a magical atmosphere, creating the perfect post-dinner entertainment.

122 Beginners Pistes

For beginners, the Mappy's dedicated area atop the Chavannes gondola is the perfect starting point. With convenient magic carpets and rope tows, getting up the slope is a breeze. Located higher on the mountain, you can typically count on excellent snow conditions. Plus, the beginner lifts come at no cost, meaning you only need to purchase a gondola ticket during your initial days on the slopes.

104 Intermediate Pistes

If you're looking for a relaxed week of skiing, Les Gets offers a delightful experience with its wide, tree-lined pistes that cater to all levels. But it's not all about easy-going blues; the challenging slopes on Mont Chéry will give your thigh muscles a good workout. As you catch your breath, you'll be treated to fantastic photo opportunities with stunning views from the village to the iconic Mont Blanc in the distance. To maximise your ski adventure, consider obtaining an area lift pass, allowing you to explore the extensive 650km expanse of the Portes du Soleil region.

27 Advanced Pistes

The renowned Wall, an immensely steep black run, serves as a thrilling border marker between France and Switzerland, beckoning serious experts with an irresistible challenge. For those seeking more demanding terrain, the World Cup run from Hautes Fortes is just one of several testing black runs available. Meanwhile, the expansive slopes of Chamossière provide an off-piste playground with excellent steep descents, complemented by superb runs in the Linga and Pré la Joux areas for the ultimate adventure. 

Les Gets is an excellent choice for novice snowboarders. With numerous spacious blue runs, it's the ideal place to hone your turning skills and the added bonus of minimal drag lifts ensures easy navigation. Advanced riders can make their way to the bowl beneath the Ranfoilly and Rosta chairlifts, where fresh powder tracks await on those perfect days. If you're into ramps, rails and jumps, be sure to explore the Freestyle District and the exhilarating boarder-cross course located on Mont Chéry.

Apres Ski

While the resort may not be famed for its après-ski scene, with more than 100 shops, bars, and restaurants, there's plenty of post-slope fun to be had. From lively bars like the Irish pub with its friendly live music vibe, home-brewed beers and tasty tapas, to the child-friendly Black Bear located just above. And if that’s not enough to keep you on your toes, check out the Igloo nightclub, boasting cultural significance as the first nightclub in the French Alps since 1938. For a more laid-back evening, Hotel Chamois d'Or offers a stylish setting for vino, chic cocktails and champagne with sports to enjoy watching on big screens. The foodie scene is also thriving with options like L'outa for French haute-cuisine, La R'mize for traditional Savoyard delights, and Le Flambeau, a vintage tea-room with reasonably priced French dishes. Relax post-ski at 'Spa Serini Cîmes,' flaunting amazing worldwide treatments. And don't miss the Thursday morning market for artisan French crafts and produce, an intriguing break from the slopes.
