WINTER
Les Gets is based at 1172m, high up in the French Alps. The winter is packed with a host of events each week from "fire week" to dog sledding races, so there is a lot to keep you entertained off the slopes. Les Gets also has its own ski area of Mont Chery, which has 4 black and 5 red runs, which are a challenging test of your skiing skills. The summit of these is 1850m

The Portes du Soleil ski area has a total of 650kms of piste and great off-piste areas.

Les Gets' long history as a winter sports resort is proven by its status in being the location of the first Ecole du Ski Français which opened here in 1940. In recent years there has been heavy investment in state of the art lifts to whisk you up the mountain quickly. This is a very relaxed resort, ideal for families with a great range of shops, bars and restaurants. The unique microclimate, owing to its proximity to Mont Blanc, makes Les Gets SnowSure, and has had an excellent snow record. Breathtaking views and superb snow conditions make it an excellent resort.

There are several good spots for off-piste skiing and snowboarding, the best of which are; to the sides of 'Yeti', the long black run off Mt. Chammossiere and also by taking a short hike from the top of the Ranfoilly lift. the latter has been rated as one of the best off piste powder bowls in Europe. Not to mention all of the off-piste areas in Morzine and Avoriaz.

The snowpark is located on Mt. Chery, which is on the ski area on the other side of the village. A bus connects the 2 sides however it is just a quick to walk. The snowpark has kickers, a spine, rails, boxes, a boarder cross and a large air bag.

Children's skiing - Les Gets has an area of the mountain for children only, le Grande Cry. This has 2 button lifts and several runs, all themed around trappers and Indians. They hold weekly treasure hunts for children.

In Winter there is an open-air ice-skating rink in the middle of the village.
