About Les Gets

With excellent ski schools, nursery slopes and a host of non-skiing activities for children as well as a whole host luxury ski chalets, Les Gets is ideal for parents who love skiing and are keen to pass this love on to their children.

Tim Latimer

Founder/Director

If you are looking for traditional charm rather than contemporary concrete, Les Gets is perfect. A dairy farming village dating back to the 12th century, it retains much of its old Savoyard atmosphere. It is also set below the tree line (1,172 to 2,002 metres) and so has some beautiful runs through the pines.

Les Gets a has a good selection of restaurants, shops and bars, a spa, two dairies where you can buy locally made cheese, a beautiful church and a famous museum of musical instruments. Plenty to keep the whole family occupied on a luxury ski holiday.

Les Gets prides itself on being friendly and accessible. A free of charge small motorised ‘train’ transports visitors around the resort, and there are also free shuttle buses, removing the need for driving which helps to give the semi-pedestrianized village centre a more relaxed feel.

BEST TIME
TO VISIT

Les Gets lies at 1,172 to 2,002 metres, therefore, the best snow conditions are generally between January and March. However, with its pretty, tree-lined pistes some fantastic sunny skiing can be enjoyed in the later months particularly as it forms part of the extensive Portes du Soleil ski area.

What we love about Les Gets

We love the friendly family atmosphere and the Savoyard charm of the place. Perfect for any family looking for a traditional Alpine resort.

Getting there

The closest airport, Geneva is approximately 1hr 15mins drive.

The Skiing

Les Gets has relatively easy access to rest of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area which boasts variety of skiing from relaxing intermediate runs to the most challenging blacks and off-piste. In the immediate Les Gets ski area there are some 60 pistes. Les Gets queues are also short compared to many resorts and you can hit the slopes very quickly.

Best Places To Eat and Drink

Après-ski in Les Gets reflects the laid-back, family friendly atmosphere of the resort itself. There is a good selection of restaurants, lively but civilised bars and a nightclub or two for those looking for a drink or two before heading back to a luxury ski chalet.

Start the evening at Le Pub Irlandias with its home-brewed beer and delicious tapas or the nearby cosy Bear Bara. Other good options are Zebra Bar, Bar Bush, Bar Canadie and the popular bar at the Boomerang Hotel.

Many of the restaurants offer a good Savoyard-style menu and places to try include Vieux Chene, Taniere, Tourbillion and the Ferme de Montagne. If you are staying in a self catered luxury chalet and taking your children out for dinner but don’t think the local fayre is going to be a success, there are a number of pizza restaurants including the Tyrol and the Schuss.

L’Igloo is probably the best local nightclub but if you are looking to really hit the late night hot spots, just ask your chauffeur to take you over to nearby Morzine.

Many of the mountain restaurants are averagely priced and of a decent standard. At the top of the Rosta chair is La Rossetaz restaurant, which is locally famous for its baguettes. There is also the Taniere at the bottom of the Chavanette chair lift, which has a varied menu and offers reasonable prices.

Luxury Ski Chalets in Les Gets

As convenient ski resorts go, Les Gets in The Portes Du Soleil ski area in France ticks many boxes. Being just 1 hour from Geneva Airport it has one of the shortest transfer times in the alps of all the resorts so works very well for families with younger children.

Dating back to the 12th Century, Les Gets stems from a traditional farming community with beautiful old farmhouses and barns littered around the valley making it incredibly pretty throughout the year. The traditional building style has been maintained throughout Les Gets’ development and any new builds must adhere to these strict parameters. Add several feet of fresh white powder on the sloping roofs and you’ve a chocolate box postcard to die for.

On the outskirts of the Portes Du Soleil ski area, Les Gets allows you to ski all the way to neighbouring Morzine and Avoriaz and even dip into Switzerland via Champery and Champoussin.

The lower runs leading back to the village of Les Gets provide the skier with dozens of lovely tree lined runs adding supremely picturesque runs down before tucking into the ‘après’.

Luxury Chalets with Swimming Pools in Les Gets

Ferme de Moudon, Les Gets

Entering Chalet Ferme de Moudon is like walking into a particularly good episode of Grand Designs. The place screams sophistication and wonderful mountain cosiness at equal volume. You’ll just want to slip on some trendy sheepskin slippers and dive onto the sofa in front of the gorgeous open fireplace the minute you get there. As well as the delights of dipping into hot bubbles in the cool night air, the chalet has a swimming pool and sauna to indulge in after a day’s skiing. And there’s an office if you need to check in with the real world from time to time. You can also spread out and enjoy the living spaces, choosing from a catch-up session with friends and family in the formal reception area or quietly relax in front of the TV in the snug reception.

Luxury Chalets with Hot Tubs in Les Gets

Ferme de la Corderie, Les Gets

Looking at this rustic renovated farmhouse from the outside, you’d never guess what treasures lie within. Ferme de la Corderie is a luxury ski chalet in Les Gets that perfectly mixes rustic charm and sumptuous contemporary style. Unusually for a luxury ski chalet, Ferme de la Corderie has a heavy focus on outdoor spaces. Fill your lungs with mountain air taking a dip in the outdoor hot tub glass of bubbly in hand and your favourite music on the outdoor Sonos sound system as the last of the day’s skiers descend the piste opposite. And late in the evening, head out to the heated terrace, where steamer chairs, strewn with sumptuous throws and a fabulous view await you.

Luxury Self-Catered Ski Chalets in Les Gets

Apartment Aviemore, Les Gets

Offered on a self-catered basis, Apartment Aviemore was named in homage to the small Highlands village which serves the Cairngorm ski area. Quirky nods to the owners’ Scottish heritage are dotted around this luxury ski chalet, not least in the rather fabulous apres ski whisky bar. If it’s all about location during your luxury ski holiday, Apartment Aviemore shines bright. It enjoys a ski-in/ski-out position on the pistes allowing you you to clip on your skis and be powder bound with minimum fuss. Post slope muscles will cry out for some time in this luxury chalet’s outdoor hot tub, located on the terrace. Just grab a glass of bubbly and relax with those mountain views.

Chalet Le Coin Perdu, Les Gets

You’ll feel like master of all you survey in this duplex penthouse in Les Gets. Le Coin Perdu (the lost corner) is indeed a cosy corner you’ll want to lose yourself in. Intimate, private and quiet, it’s also uber stylish and just round the corner from all the restaurants, bars and shops the town has to offer. Housed within the exclusive Solaret development, everything you could want for a luxury self-catered ski holiday in Les Gets is here.

Luxury Chalets in Les Gets for Large Groups

Chalet Grande Corniche, Les Gets

There are any number of chalets in the Alps that offer their guests exceptional luxury but considerably fewer that do it in real style.

Just ten minutes from the lifts, this luxury ski chalet sleeps up to twelve adults and three children in six en-suite bedrooms with TVs and stunning views across the Vallée de L’Arve and a bunk room. On a clear day you can also enjoy spectacular views across to Mont Blanc from the open plan dining and living area.

There is a cosy mazot known as the Petite Corniche located beside the main chalet which can sleep a further four guests and can be booked at an additional cost.

Chalet Grande Corniche was crowned ‘Best Ski Chalet France 2015’ and has once again won this same category for the second time in the 2017 World Ski Awards.
