Les Gets
 

 

PDS

 

At under an hour from Geneva airport this is one of the most accessible resorts in the Alps . It is therefore even more surprising that it has retained its alpine charm and friendly atmosphere rather than succumbing to the high-rise apartment blocks that characterise many ski resorts. With skiing on both sides of the town Les Gets has something to suit all tastes and whilst beginners will be well catered for on the nursery areas of the Chavannes, the slopes of the summer-time golf course that link Les Gets to Morzine are a mecca for intermediate cruising in the trees.

 

Mont Chery stands alone on the opposite side of town and is perfect for backcountry skiers and expert piste bashers looking to escape the crowds. (See panorama below took from Mont chéry)Visitors can't help but marvel at the town centre as it comes alive late in the afternoon, with a range of boutiques and dining experiences, an outdoor ice rink and the smell of mulled wine. It feels like Christmas for four months of the year in Les Gets and yet this picture postcard town is a great base for some of the best skiing that Europe has to offer. Don't take our word for it, come and see for yourself. We challenge you not to get caught up in the ambience or be astounded by the skiing!
