Expert's Opinion

Les Gets has a little bit of everything; good après ski, great kids facilities and a decent range of slopes. It’s also one of the more attractive resorts in the area, the easiest to reach from Geneva and very much dual season (it is very busy with plenty to do in the summer). The lively centre of Morzine is only five minutes down the road too.

The Town

A pretty, family friendly resort in the popular Portes du Soleil ski area, Les Gets is an exceedingly convenient, weekendable destination. Located only an hour and fifteen minutes from Geneva, Les Gets is a charming chalet style town with bags of character and access to one of the largest ski areas in Europe. 

With enough nightlife to be fun, activities for all the family including ice skating on the rink in the centre of the resort, and a variety of good restaurants, Les Gets is the perfect midpoint between peaceful Savoyarde Chatel and the lively party town of Morzine. Slightly less well connnected to the rest of the ski area than Chatel is, this is nonetheless a good option for buyers looking at the Portes du Soleil.

The easiest of the Portes du Soleil resorts to get to; this is a fantastic choice for families with small children who are thinking of making a long term investment. The resort has been running since the 1930s and is far more than just a gateway to the larger Portes du Soleil town of Morzine.

The Skiing

The Portes du Soleil ski area is most famous for being home to the perilous Swiss Wall, but there is much more there than that. The skiing is primarily intermediate, with plenty of green, blue and red runs to offset the challenging blacks in the area. New skiers are well provided for, with great ski schools and good nursery slopes.

While the full Portes du Soleil ski area might offer 650km of slopes, the Les Gets/Morzine area enjoys a very respectable 120km between them. Les Get’s local ski area has two sides; the main area, which shares its pistes with neighbouring Morzine, and the Mont Chery side.

The Mont Chery gondola leads up to the slopes on the other side of the village. The wide blue runs and fast reds make it good fun for skiers of all ability levels, while there are a couple of excellent restaurants on that side of the mountain.
