Les Gets is a charming traditional ski village in the heart of the Portes Du Soleil ski area, the Haute Savoie region in the French Alps. It is an hour's drive from Geneva through magnificent alpine scenery. You can ski or enjoy splendid walks in sight of Mont Blanc. Skiing is superb for all ages and abilities. You can ski in France in the morning and Switzerland in the afternoon, via the Portes Du Soleil ski pass which covers over 650km of terrain. There are plentiful ski schools, and the slopes come right down to the village where in the evening under floodlights you can continue the fun toboganning, sledging or skating. In summer, Les Gets has plenty to offer, it's own 18 hole golf course with stunning views of Mont Blanc and other nine hole courses in neighbouring villages. The beautiful swimming lake, and nearby adventure park is a must. The magnificent lake of Montriond is well worth a visit as well as lunch in the alpine village of Les Linderets amongst the goats.
