Last week we talked about Chamonix ski resort so this week we are going to write about Les Gets which is another fantastic resort and just an eighty six kilometre drive from the Airport in your Geneva car hire.

This resort can be found in the region of Portes du Soleil. It offers superb skiing as well as snowboarding opportunities. The resort is well connected by road and can also be reached easily from Chambery Airport and Sion Airport.

There are two hundred and six lifts at Les Gets and over six hundred and fifty kilometers of excellent pistes to enjoy. Head to Mont-Cheri to visit the snow park. Here you will find slopes which are mainly for beginners to intermediate level. Tougher tests can be found at the Chavannes Bowl which is also an excellent spot for snowboarding.

Some other nearby resorts worth a look include Avoriaz, Les Crosets, Morzine and Abondance.

There are some really nice picturesque accommodation options in this area such as Savoyard chalets and well as the usual assortment of hotels. Everything you require can easily be found here such as ski schools and excellent restaurants and bars

Overall Les Gets Ski Resort is more suitable for beginners. It can get quite busy at weekends so be prepared.
