A beautiful village full of rustic Savoyard charm, Les Gets sits between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, with not only stunning scenery but also links to the entire Portes du Soleil ski area. With cosy mountain restaurants, a huge variety of accommodation and possibly the best Christmas spirit in France, Les Gets is not a resort to be missed.
This is as close to an alpine fairy tale as it gets. A beautiful resort tucked away between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, Les Gets’ charm comes from rustic wooden chalets, friendly locals and the inevitably cosy atmosphere a smaller village can offer. Les Gets is pronounced Ley-Jay.
Situated just an hour from Geneva Airport, it’s perfect for those who don’t want to waste a chunk of their holiday travelling, as most people who fly in the morning can make it onto the slopes by mid-afternoon. This is also one of the closest resorts to Calais, for those who prefer to drive - it takes just under 8 hours, making it a great choice for those who don’t want to spend too long on the road!
The village itself is partly car-free, and the perfect size to go everywhere on foot. There’s a free bus circulating around the centre, and a free train that goes to the Mont Chery bubble lift from the Chavannes side. Don’t, however, be fooled by its size. Accommodation wise there’s a huge variety of chalets, catered and non-catered, hotels or apartments for any budget as well as an excellent choice of over 40 restaurants and a wealth of things to do off the slopes; including ice skating and bowling.
Les Gets is one of our favourite resorts for families, and has even been named a ‘Famille Plus’ village, meaning the national tourist board has approved it as a village that offers outstanding facilities, in a safe environment, making it the obvious choice for those with children. The tourist office and staff really go the extra mile during the Christmas holidays, half-term and Easter. There’s always plenty going on for children to get involved in, and Christmas here promises to be one of the most magical in the Alps!
The Les Gets/Morzine ski pass gives you access to 120km of varied pistes, with stunning scenery and breath-taking views of Mont Blanc on a clear day. Those who are looking to ski further afield have easy access to the whole Portes du Soleil area, with a massive 650km of pistes which even covers some areas of Switzerland.
The nearest airport to Les Gets is Geneva / Geneve at 55 km or about 1 hour by car
The nearest ski resorts to Les Gets include Morzine, Avoriaz.
The gastronomy scene is alive and well with lots of choices where restaurants are concerned. For traditional French haute cuisine, visit Restaurant L'outa for fine wines and high-quality cooking. Anyone keen to sample traditional Savoyard recipes (think hot cheese served many ways!) should visit La R'mize, nestled in the centre of the village. Le Flambeau is also well worth a visit. Run by a married couple, channelling a vintage tea-room décor, it offers traditional French dishes, snails included, for very reasonable prices.
Le Bel'Alpe Our restaurant welcomes you for a cosy meal. Scallops feuilleté, Rack of Lamb roasted with alps honey, Duck Breast with a poched pear and red fruit sauce, pear tiramisu, walnut tart... enjoy our french cuisine mixing old time cooking with modern flavors.
La Grande Ourse When you come to visit us we have on the ground floor our boarders bar, where we serve pizza and pasta. On this floor we offer a hi – tech pager system, where you order and pay for your food and we buzz you to come and collect it when it’s ready. You can sit inside or a nice sunny day sit out on the snow terrace, relax and enjoy the view. On the second floor we have our main restaurant and terrace. On this floor we offer waitress service so you can enjoy what has been acclaimed since the 1930’s as one of the best views of Mont Blanc in the Alps. In our main restaurant you can sit back and relax with a great meal and a nice bottle of wine.
