Ski to Switzerland and back in a day, all on the same full-area lift pass.
2002m summit. 1172m base village altitude. That gives you an impressive vertical drop of 830m.
Picture-postcard ski resort. Les Gets retains the look and feel of a traditional French village.
You can speak English almost everywhere in Les Gets. Ski shops, bars, restaurants etc.
Welcome to the biggest ski area in the world. Ski to Switzerland and back in one day. Conquer the Swiss Wall. Head for the snow-parks of Avoriaz. Or book a local guide to find the best off-piste. Les Gets and the wider Portes Du Soleil ski area are a dream come true for experienced skiers.
So many people choose to come back to Les Gets year-on-year. With a full-area lift pass and 650km of pistes to choose from, you will not run out of places to ski and snowboard. Grab yourself a full-area liftpass and see how much mileage you can clock up in a three- or four-day short break!
Les Gets really is a dream for mixed-ability groups. Head for "The Bowl" where groups can loop around several times with regular meet-ups for vin chaud on the mountain. Experienced skiers can take on the more challenging red and black runs, or just jump back on a lift for an extra lap.
Les Gets is very beginner-friendly. There is a large nursery-slopes area for your first lessons, and countless easy blue pistes for the improvers. Blue runs in Les Gets tend to be more gentle and beginner-friendly than in other ski areas like The Three Valleys. Find out more...
Les Gets is home to Europe's only kids-only piste. Great childcare options, fantastic ski school and plenty of distractions and attractions for the little ones when they come off the mountain. It's also just a one hour transfer to the airport, making the journey a lot more manageable. Find out more...

Jana arrived with our lift passes ten minutes after our arrival so we were straight to the slopes to make the most of our short break...
The week is normally split into two parts - Sunday to Thursday (4 nights) and Thursday to Sunday break (3 nights). The price of each one is the same, so if you've the flexibility to do it the Sunday to Thursday gets you an extra day for your money!
We are only an hour's drive from Geneva Airport, so you can ski both on your arrival and departure day! Let us know your flight details and we will arrange airport transfers to conntect with your arrival and departure. We can also have your lift pass ready at the chalet and your ski hire ready for you: our ski hire supplier is right by the main lifts just metres from the chalet.
Yes, of course! We want you to get the most out of your ski holiday. That's why The Alpine Loft has a new changing room facility designed to make it easy for you to arrive early and leave late. There is a shower, a toilet and a ski room with boot warmers.
Check-in and check-out times remain unchanged but these facilities will be yours to use. If you're arriving early, we just ask for your understanding that there may be some departing guests still around as well. Equally, if you're departing late, please just keep in mind that the new arrivals will be starting their own holidays.
We can arrange your ski hire for you at no extra cost using the best local suppliers. This way, everything will be ready for you when you arrive. For guests staying in The Alpine Loft and The Alpine Lodge, we recommend a great local ski shop just metres from the main lifts (400m from the chalet). Keep your ski boots in the shop overnight and getting to and from the chalet will be a breeze.
We can pre-book your ski lift pass for you and have it ready and waiting for you in the chalet when you arrive. Of course, we will get you the best possible price — cheaper than you can get yourself at the kiosk.
Jana's organisation made everything really easy meaning we were on the slopes within two hours of arriving at the airport...

Please note there are many factors outside our control, notably weather driven aspects such as lack of snow or water shortages. Although we have no liability for factors outside our direct control, we will do our best to help.
In a mountain resort it can take longer to rectify any problems that may occur than you might expect in your home country, especially involving trades persons and during the holiday periods. Please bear this in mind when we are dealing with any issues.
We have tried to make all information in our website as accurate as possible. Please note our prices and availability published may be out of date, please call us for an up to date quote. All information regarding 3rd party suppliers has been supplied by them to us, but we make no claims to it being complete or up to date. They may subsequently have altered their information, making the facts we have published inaccurate or incomplete.
All photos we publish are of the resort or chalet in question except where the subject is not the scenery itself, for example photos of a ski instructor or our staff.
Although we will try our best, it can take a large amount of time to rectify any technical problems due to the remoteness of ski resorts from the suppliers. We cannot guarantee our internet access to work. We do not provide any computers.
Chalets are not always built with child safety in mind. Parents must be aware there are greater risks than in a normal home environment, and extra care should be taken at all times.
Furnishing may vary from that shown or described. Rooms may not be lockable.
Hot tubs and saunas can break down and it can take time to get them fixed in a ski resort. As such, we cannot promise that they will be in working order. The hot tub and sauna are available 08:00 to 20:00. However, they may not be available during necessary maintenance (including changing of the water). Children are the responsibility of their parents at all times. No glassware is allowed in or around the hot tubs and saunas. Additional rules for hot tubs and saunas are displayed in situ and should be followed at all times.
You must have adequate liability and cancellation insurance for your holiday. Please provide us with the name of your insurer and a policy number in case of emergencies.
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not those of your home country. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as your home country and may sometimes be lower.
The contract between us and you, and any matters arising from it, will be governed under French law and are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of France.
