The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

Les Gets has 110km of marked runs itself and is linked to the whole Portes du soleil area (including Morzine and Avoriaz). The full area is 650 km of marked runs, 48 local lifts and 209 lifts in total.

It has the range to satisfy and exhilarate the experienced skier and to nurture the beginners and intermediates. (The indian run with its indian village of teepees is a firm favourite with the children!)

Les Gets has a great "snow park" on Mont Chery; lots of fun for boarders or for skiers wanting to jump.

The village has traditional Savoyard charm with an open air ice rink in the centre in winter, and of course shops and restaurants.

In the summer Les Gets is extremely popular with mountain bikers and walkers. There are also a plethora of acitivities for children and teenagers of all ages which makes it ideal for family holidays. It has stunning views in summer and winter and the town which is charming goes to a lot of effort to entertain tourists with such things as free open air concerts, fetes and firework displays

“Great location,and appartment, real value for money” The discription of the property is very honest. comfortable and convenient for skiers and summer use.Warm with plentiful hotwater for winter, light and airy with balcony for summer, I have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. we have been six encluding children, and found the room ample with masses of room for clobber. A car is great but not essential,the garage is useful. We have stayed here in the summer as well. Lots for children to do.The new kitchen and layout look great. A great appartment and location for the money.

“Great location, warm and comfy, and great value for money!” The accomodation was really good, all that we needed for 3 small children. The Cave was great for ski stuff and there was enough space upstairs for the kids to play without getting in our way when preparing meals downstairs. The views of the Les Melezes red run were fantastic and watching the locals toboggan down it at the end of the day was a constant source of entertainment for the whole family! We had a 10 day stay and would have happily stayed longer if we had the time. Lucy is a top owner, what she says is what you get, we would not hesitate to re-book again.
