Why Les Gets in Springtime?
Les Gets is a charming, traditional French ski resort, within the huge Portes du Soleil ski area where the lifts and ski runs stretch across the border into neighbouring Switzerland.
Les Gets is a fabulous, authentic community, full of the French ambience we Brits love, and it is also a great choice for your spring ski holiday.
First of all, Les Gets is high enough for good snow but not as high as some of the soulless, purpose-built altitude resorts. Next, the ski slopes are located on the same grassy meadows and higher mountain slopes where the cattle from the local farms graze in summer, which means a smooth surface and no gravel or rock surprises below the surface. That snow is kept smooth right to the end of the season by the resort’s excellent slope grooming team.
There’s a huge range of pistes too, which increase in difficulty incrementally as you get higher up the slopes. They connect seamlessly into the Portes du Soleil region which currently has the deepest snow in Europe on its higher runs. There’s fast, easy access to these pistes provided by a world-class ski lift network and supported by excellent ski patrollers, keeping everyone safe.
Next, if you are in search of challenging skiing, springtime is the perfect time for it. By March bases are built as deep as they’re likely to get, and Les Gets will be aiming to open all the steeper terrain that needs enough snow to open. That’s one of the reasons why ski touring is so popular in springtime.
In springtime, you’ll particularly appreciate the great mountain restaurants that serve up the best local food and drink at a reasonable price. There’s a more relaxed mood in springtime, and you’ll be tempted to spend more time soaking up the sun’s rays on one of the mountain restaurant’s terraces and enjoying some of the best views in the Alps.
Finally, Les Gets is a very short transfer time from Geneva Airport, so you can be there and home again at the end, quickly and easily.
