Les Gets
Charming Savoyard village and lively resort neighbouring Morzine
Les Gets is far more than just a satellite town of Morzine, it is a great resort and thriving village in its own right with its own charm and comprehensive lift system.
Les Gets is a village close to Morzine, on the southern edge of the Portes du Soleil. It has two ski areas either side of the town: Mont Chéry and Chavannes. The village is very pretty and, as it sits 100m higher than Morzine, is often snowier and has a more Alpine feel to it than its neighbour.

Les Gets enjoys an active winter and summer season. The lifts are open for skiers from the middle of December until the middle of April and for walkers and mountain bikers from June until September. Les Gets has many world class tracks for downhill mountain bikers and some excellent cross-country trails especially around Mont Chéry as well as access to road cycling routes used in the Tour de France.
In the summer months Les Gets has an 18 hole golf course and an activities lake, in the winter it is home to some of the best slopes for beginners and intermediate skiers in the Portes du Soleil.
