Les Gets for beginners

Beginners rating -

Perfect
If you're just getting your ski legs, Les Gets is a sweet spot. The Mappy's beginner area at the top of the Chavannes gondola is ideal with its magic carpets and rope tows. Plus, the beginner lifts are free, so you'll only need a ticket for the gondola initially. The higher altitude means better snow too.

A haven for those seeking leisurely rides, Les Gets specializes in wide, pine-tree lined pistes. But don't be fooled; Mont Chéry’s steeper slopes offer a bit of a thigh-burner. Grab an area lift pass to explore beyond, with 650km of terrain in the Portes du Soleil area to cover.

Les Gets for advanced

Thrill-seekers might find Les Gets a bit limiting, but The Wall—a notoriously steep black run—stands as an exception. The run from Hautes Fortes is a World Cup classic, and the off-piste terrain in Chamossière, Linga, and Pré la Joux brings more adventure to the table.

Les Gets for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Boarders
Perfect
Les Gets makes a solid base camp for beginner boarders, thanks to its wide blues and minimal drag lifts. The seasoned riders aren't left out either; the bowl below the Ranfoilly and Rosta chairlifts is a go-to spot on powder days. Don't forget to hit up the Freestyle District and boarder-cross course on Mont Chéry.

Les Gets for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
While not the ultimate destination for off-piste die-hards, Les Gets has its spots. The Mont Chery side of the valley serves up scenic and quieter routes. The Chavannes bowl under the peaks of Le Ranfolly and La Rosta is also a solid choice, offering a variety of tracks. For those who love tree skiing, dropping into a bowl from Ranfoilly peak gives you an adrenaline-pumping run that lands you on the red Tetras.

Les Gets for families

Families rating -
Fun
Perfect
For families, Les Gets strikes an appealing balance. The village oozes charm with its wooden chalets and balcony-clad buildings, and its variety of mountain runs ensure a fun-filled day for the kids. The resort's proximity to Morzine means you can even ski into another country. And when it's time to refuel, the culinary scene caters to all tastes, from fine dining to fondue and raclette. To top it all off, the outdoor ice rink offers a magical setting for some after-dinner fun.

Nightlife in Les Gets is more chalet-cosy than club-hopping. Many visitors choose to stay indoors post-dinner, savoring the chalet charm. However, if you're itching for more action, mountain huts on your way down make for lively pit stops. Bar Bush and L'Après Ski Bar are popular spots, each offering a unique blend of atmosphere and activities.
