On the Slopes
When you ski Les Gets, this lets you explore two main areas locally, the Chavannes Bowl and Mont-Cheri. Ski holidays in this resort offer some great skiing and snowboarding - not to mention the larger ski area. There's large forested slopes either side of the valley providing some great runs.
Mont Cheri has wide open south facing slopes, mostly reds and blues, and is also the home of the snow park, with its jumps, rails and platforms. There's also plenty of piste of interest to snow boarders. The Chavannes Bowl is very popular, and is filled with blues, reds and some blacks. Off piste is available as well as some good off-piste runs through the trees.
Ski Area
If you ski Les Gets you are also in the ski region of Portes du Soleil.
Off the Slopes
There's a lovely mix of accommodation, including traditional Savoyard chalets and more modern wooden-and-stone buildings - whichever you choose they are built to fit in with the alpine surroundings, and many offer ski-to-your-door convenience. This is a good place to bring kids with an excellent ski school, and a variety of reasonably priced restaurants. The après-ski is not as lively as some other resorts, with just a couple of bars to entertain the late night crowd.
Who's it Best For?
Les Gets is great for families, the transfer is short and you have a lot of family ski companies based here. Good for those of you who like off piste and also good for mixed groups with the huge Portes du Soleil ski area on hand.

FEATURED CHALETS
CHALETS
Apartments can be a great option when booking to go on a ski holiday. They can work out cheaper than a chalet and many apartments in new complexes come complete with facilities like swimming pools-which matches anything you can get in a hotel. So when looking at accommodation don't forget to consider an apartment you might be surprised at what's on offer.
Les Gets offers a wide choice of accommodation including quite basic functional apartments to more luxury affairs. In fact many of the newer apartments here are rated the same as a 4* hotel. Many luxury apartments include swimming pools, fitness centres, sauna and hammam.
Are Apartments a Great Option?
Many still think back to the ugly apartment blocks from the 1960's which still blight some ski resorts. These apartments are seen as cheap, budget affairs and not the sort of thing many families or those wanting some comfort would look at. But many of the newer apartments are clad in wood or stone and are more loft style apartments with great facilities and ,many offer ski in ski out.
Apartments can also work out cheaper than a chalet and can be a great option for those travelling with large groups or other families. You are less on top of each other in apartments so gain more space and independence from those you are on holiday with. Many apartments also come as a catered option so you don't need to compromise on that either.
