a better snow record than Val D'Isere

  • Les Gets is on the snow-line, so we get the same snow as other resorts at 2000m and the piste is all pasture which means that you only need 8" of snow to ski, rather than the two foot required for the higher resorts which have rocky terrain to cover.

what the locals say about the skiing

  • We asked Mark Dean, an Englishman and 'long-time' Les Gets skier, to sum up the skiing here in the Portes du Soleil:

    "I've been skiing for 20 years and the last 8 have been in Les Gets. It's a brilliant area for mixed abilities since you can go to the top of many runs, and all end up at the same place at the bottom. I also find the off-piste skiing very extensive and under-used. It's not tracked out by 9.30 am on the first morning after a snowfall. Mont Chery has got one of the best 'bump slopes' (mogul runs) and the 'Bouquetin' run on Mont Chery North is as steep and challenging as the wall in Switzerland."
