At a comfortable altitude, this picture-perfect village in France feels intimate, welcoming, and manageable. Visitors have access to 117km of local skiing, where 71 runs span sheltered, tree-lined terrain from 1,172m up to 2,002m at Mont Chéry. This is a village that takes families seriously, not just with ski school and childcare, but with the whole ski holiday experience.
There's enough variety for every level of skier or snowboarder at Les Gets. Gentle gradients suit beginners, beautiful forest runs build intermediate confidence, and the link to Morzine opens up steeper terrain for those wanting more challenge. Plus, you'll have access to over 600km of skiing across the Franco-Swiss Portes du Soleil. Modern lifts including high-speed six-packs keep queues short, and easy access from Geneva makes arrival straightforward.
Les Gets is postcard-pretty, with wooden chalets, a historic church, and a year-round community that gives the place an authenticity purpose-built resorts can't match. Traffic stays at the edges, the centre is easy to navigate on foot, and Savoyard culture runs through everything from the mountain restaurants to the après-ski.

The Les Gets ski area divides into two main sectors. Mont Chéry sits on one side of the village and the main Les Gets/Morzine area on the other, connecting onwards to the full Portes du Soleil circuit. The terrain flows well, grooming is excellent, and sheltered slopes provide protection in poor weather.
The longest run stretches to 8km, giving satisfying top-to-bottom descents and opportunities for quiet cruising. With 47 lifts and an emphasis on high-speed chairs, you spend your time skiing rather than waiting.
Les Gets takes beginner skiing seriously, with dedicated zones served by magic carpets and easy chairs (useful when exposed lifts feel daunting for nervous first-timers). The Chavannes area has nursery slopes with gentle gradients and space to practise without faster skiers cutting through.
Once you've mastered the basics, progression runs lead naturally onto easy blues, building confidence without sudden jumps in difficulty. The village layout also means beginners can access the nursery slopes on foot from most accommodation.
Intermediates have their pick of blues and reds across the main ski area. Well-groomed pistes reward clean technique, with plenty of variety to build skills. The Ranfolly sector offers particularly satisfying reds. Here, you can expect sustained pitch, reliable snow, and lovely views across to Mont Blanc on clear days.
As your ability grows, the link to Morzine opens up more terrain without significantly increasing difficulty. Mont Chéry, on the opposite side of the village, tends to be quieter with some excellent intermediate slopes. The south-facing aspect catches afternoon sun, making it a pleasant place to cruise later in the day.
Les Gets isn't primarily an expert destination, but strong skiers have options. A week based here gives experts enough variety to stay interested while families enjoy the gentler local slopes. The blacks on Mont Chéry pack a challenge, with steep, often mogulled terrain. The Yeti Park area has some of the steeper marked runs, and when conditions allow, there's accessible off-piste from the lift system to reward exploration.
But the real advantage for experts is the wider Portes du Soleil connection, where you find challenging terrain across Avoriaz, Châtel, and the Swiss resorts. The full circuit is skiable in a day if you start early and conditions are right, though you'll want good legs and a piste map. The Swiss Wall above Les Crosets is one of the most famous steep runs in the Alps.
Les Gets has long welcomed snowboarders, and the slopes work well for riding. Tree runs hide natural features and side hits, and flat sections are minimal, so you won't spend your day unstrapping. The Morzine connection opens up more freeride options, and the wider area provides vast riding territory.
Beginner snowboarders will appreciate the resort's gentle learning areas. A terrain park in the Chavannes area has features for every level of boarder, from beginner-friendly boxes to larger jumps and rails.
The local off-piste is modest but enjoyable, with tree runs and powder stashes accessible from the lifts when conditions are right. For more serious freeride terrain, Avoriaz and the Swiss sectors offer extensive options. Local guides know lines throughout the area and can help you find untracked snow long after the obvious spots have been skied out.
Les Gets has an excellent reputation for instruction. ESF and several independent schools operate here, with English-speaking instructors widely available. The focus on families means children's lessons are particularly well-organised, with small groups and patient teaching. Adult lessons cover everything from first-timers to performance improvement for experienced skiers.
Through WeSki, you can add ski or snowboard lessons to your package and have everything arranged before you arrive. Check out Les Gets ski deals to get started.
The main terrain park in the Chavannes area caters to various abilities, from first-time park riders to those working on more advanced tricks. Expect a selection of jumps, rails, and boxes that are well-shaped throughout the season. There's also a boardercross course for racing, and a kids' zone with smaller features for young riders learning freestyle basics.
It's no accident that French families return year after year. Les Gets has built a reputation on being family-friendly, and it shows. The village is easy to navigate on foot, with traffic kept to the outskirts, and the terrain suits mixed-ability families well. Ski schools here excel with children, and there's a tangible sense that kids are welcome.
Young children have excellent facilities at the beginner area, including the Mappys kids' zone with magic carpets, gentle slopes, and fun features. Childcare operates throughout the season for little ones not yet ready to ski, and the ESF's children's programme combines lessons with snow activities. Older children and teenagers can progress through the terrain, from blues to reds and eventually onto the terrain park. Teenagers will also appreciate the independence of a walkable village, with enough going on to keep them entertained.
Off the slopes, activities like snowshoeing and museum visits give the whole family plenty to do on rest days. Dining is easy, too. You'll find crêperies, pizzerias, and traditional Savoyard restaurants that welcome children without fuss. The village atmosphere stays relaxed in the evenings, and most places are happy to accommodate early sittings for families with younger kids.
WeSki insider tip: The village runs a treasure hunt trail for children, leading them around Les Gets to discover its history and hidden corners. Pick up a map from the tourist office, it's free and keeps kids engaged on non-skiing time.
Les Gets' traditional Savoyard village combines alpine charm with a wide range of activities, making it an excellent choice for mixed-ability groups and non-skiers. From cultural attractions and scenic walks to adrenaline-fuelled winter adventures, there's plenty to fill rest days and keep everyone entertained.
Beyond downhill skiing, Les Gets provides a varied selection of snow-based activities that make the most of its forested setting and gentle terrain. Whether you're looking for peaceful winter outings or something more adventurous, the resort offers plenty of ways to enjoy the snow away from the pistes.
Les Gets has plenty to enjoy away from the slopes, making it an excellent choice for rest days and non-skiers. From its unique cultural attractions to wellness facilities and easy access to neighbouring villages, the resort offers a relaxed pace with enough variety to keep days interesting.
Dining in Les Gets ranges from traditional Savoyard mountain fare to more contemporary French cooking. The compact village layout means most restaurants are within easy walking distance of accommodation, making evenings simple and relaxed. Local specialities - such as tartiflette, fondue, and raclette - are done particularly well here, and even the mountain restaurants tend to offer proper sit-down dining rather than basic canteen fare.
WeSki insider tip: La Fruitière's fondue - made with local cheese in its converted dairy setting - is a standout Les Gets experience. Book for dinner to enjoy the full atmosphere.
Après-ski in Les Gets reflects the village's family-friendly, traditional alpine character. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable rather than rowdy, with the action starting on slope-side terraces as the lifts close. Skiers gather for vin chaud and beers in the afternoon sun, and it's common to see families and mixed groups sharing tables early on.
As evening sets in, the focus shifts to village bars and hotel lounges. While there are a few livelier options, especially at weekends, Les Gets is not a party resort. Those looking for all-night clubbing are better heading to Morzine or Avoriaz. For easygoing drinks, conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere, Les Gets delivers exactly what many skiers are looking for. Après-ski spots worth knowing include:
Accommodation in Les Gets spreads across the village, with most options within walking distance of lifts and the centre. Traditional chalets provide authentic Savoyard character, while apartments suit families wanting self-catering flexibility. Several good hotels offer restaurants, spas, and ski-in/ski-out access. The layout is compact, so location is rarely a major concern and a free ski bus connects outlying properties to all lift stations.
Properties near the Chavannes lifts offer the most convenient access to the main ski area and beginner zones, making the area ideal for families with young children. Accommodation towards Mont Chéry suits those wanting quick access to that quieter sector, while the village centre perfectly balances both skiing and evening dining.
Ski pass options in Les Gets range from local to the full Portes du Soleil area. The Les Gets/Morzine pass covers 117km of local skiing, which is enough for a week - especially if you're happy staying in the immediate area. The full Portes du Soleil pass opens up over 600km across 12 resorts.
You can select your ski pass options when booking your Les Gets ski holiday through WeSki.
Rental shops are plentiful throughout Les Gets village and near the main lift stations. Quality is good across the board, with recent-model equipment available. The village layout means wherever you're staying, there's likely a rental shop within easy reach. Book ahead during peak weeks to guarantee your preferred sizes and equipment.
WeSki partners with SkiSet shops in Les Gets, letting you add equipment to your package and collect on arrival. Browse Les Gets ski deals to build your perfect trip.
Les Gets is compact and walkable, with most accommodation, restaurants, and lifts within easy reach on foot. The village has kept traffic largely to the outskirts, making pedestrian navigation pleasant and safe. A free ski bus connects the various lift stations and runs to Morzine for those wanting to explore the neighbouring village.
If you're staying on the edges of the village or want to explore further afield, the ski bus is reliable and frequent. Taxis are available for late nights or trips beyond the bus routes. Having a car isn't necessary for a Les Gets holiday but can be useful for day trips to other Portes du Soleil resorts or excursions to Annecy or Geneva.
Geneva Airport (GVA) is the closest major hub, approximately 75km from Les Gets. The route from there to the resort is straightforward, following the motorway before climbing into the mountains for the final stretch. Lyon Airport (LYS) is an alternative, around 200km away, and sometimes offers better flight prices from UK regional airports. Chambéry (CMF) sits between the two at roughly 130km, though flight availability is more limited.
WeSki offers car rentals from the airport as well as private, shared, and scheduled transfers to Les Gets. Add them to your Les Gets ski holiday package for seamless door-to-door travel.
Very much so - Les Gets is one of the most family-friendly resorts in the French Alps. The village is compact and largely traffic-free, the ski schools excel with children, and the terrain suits all abilities from beginners to confident intermediates. Dedicated kids' facilities include the Mappys beginner area, childcare options, and activities designed specifically for young visitors. French families return here year after year, which speaks to how well it works for children.
Yes - Les Gets is one of 12 resorts in the Portes du Soleil ski area. With the appropriate ski pass, you can ski across to Morzine and onwards to Avoriaz, Les Crosets, Châtel, and the Swiss resorts. The full circuit covers over 600km of skiing across France and Switzerland. The Les Gets/Morzine pass covers the local area, while the full Portes du Soleil pass gives access to everything.
Les Gets and Morzine share much of the same ski area but have different characters. Les Gets is smaller, quieter, and more family-focused, with a traditional village atmosphere. Morzine is larger with more nightlife, more dining options, and a slightly younger crowd. Both have excellent skiing and easy access to the Portes du Soleil circuit. The free bus connects them, so you can easily enjoy both during your stay.
With the local Les Gets/Morzine pass, you have 117km of pistes - comfortably enough for a week for most skiers. If you're an advanced skier who covers ground quickly, the Portes du Soleil pass opens up over 600km, which you couldn't exhaust in a month. The variety across the linked area means you can ski different terrain every day without repetition.
Les Gets has a lower average altitude than some French resorts, with a summit of 2,002m and village at 1,172m. Snow reliability is generally good from mid-December through March, with snowmaking covering key runs. For the most reliable conditions, consider mid-season visits. The north-facing slopes hold snow best, and the connection to higher Avoriaz provides backup if conditions are marginal lower down.
Mont Chéry is the quieter ski area on the opposite side of the village from the main Les Gets/Morzine slopes. It's south-facing, so catches afternoon sun and has different snow conditions. The terrain suits intermediates well, with some steeper blacks for advanced skiers. It's not connected to the Portes du Soleil circuit, so most visitors focus on the main area - which makes Mont Chéry a good escape when the main slopes get busy.
The Musée de la Musique Mécanique houses one of Europe's best collections of automated musical instruments - from tiny music boxes to massive fairground organs. Guides demonstrate the instruments during tours, bringing them to life in a way static museum displays can't match. It's genuinely fascinating for all ages, surprisingly engaging even for children, and makes for a memorable rest-day activity.
Excellent - the gentle, tree-lined terrain is ideal for learning. Dedicated beginner areas, excellent ski schools, and a patient family atmosphere create perfect conditions. Progression to longer runs is smooth and confidence-building.
The local terrain is predominantly gentle and intermediate-focused. However, the Portes du Soleil connection provides access to more challenging terrain at Avoriaz and elsewhere. Experts often appreciate the village atmosphere while seeking challenge in the wider ski area.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other 'all-inclusive' sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
