Geneva To Les Gets Transfers

Before settling on Les Gets as your ski resort of choice, it’s important you understand the basics of what it offers and where it is.

The Alps has ski resorts in numerous countries due to the sprawling nature of the mountain range, and Les Gets can be found in the east of France, extremely close to the border with Switzerland. Due to its proximity to the Swiss Alps, many people fly into Geneva before crossing the border with France to get to the commune. 

The resort is based in the heart of the stunning Chablais massif region that, as well as offering remarkable alpine views, is part of the Portes du Soleil ski area which is one of the biggest in the world.

All visitors to the resort are able to experience cross-border skiing, with some slopes starting in France and bending into Switzerland. It is also situated between two other famous ski resorts – Tanignes and Morzine.

The ski season in Les Gets typically runs from early December to April. The best time to visit depends on your preference for snow conditions and crowd levels.

When you embark on a skiing trip, along with altitude snow is another thing people focus on.

If you’re determined that dense snowfall is a must, Les Gets might not be exactly what you’re looking for. On average, it experiences around 321cm of snow per year with the average snow depth being 100cm. 

While snow does fall about 23 times a year, snow is not guaranteed at the village level. But, the higher peaks do offer snow with artificial snow regularly being pumped out on the slopes. Plus, the natural greenery on offer provides unrivalled beauty in its own right. 

Les Gets can be found on the eastern border of France, extremely close to neighbouring Switzerland. 

With this in mind, Les Gets can be reached by both countries, but perhaps the best way to get there is to fly to Geneva Airport. In fact, it’s an extremely short drive from the airport to the resort, and when conditions are favourable it only takes around an hour to drive there.  

Due to this, many people might consider hiring a car, and while this is certainly an option, we’d always recommend using a transfer. Transfers regularly operate from Geneva Airport, taking people directly to Les Gets and meaning they don’t need to worry about navigating mountain roads. 

Both shared and private transfers are available. Private transfers can be arranged and reserved for just you and your group, whereas shared transfers will take larger groups of people. 

At Alpine Fleet, we offer both options and can cater services directly to you and your needs.

The altitude of Les Gets is 1,172m (839ft) meaning people can reach staggering heights when skiing at the resort. 

Altitude is not always the most important element when it comes to skiing, but it’s worth noting that Les Gets is slightly higher than the neighbouring Morzine. 

So, if reaching great heights is important to you, then Les Gets is always an excellent choice. 

Les Gets is an excellent choice for those who are attempting skiing for the first time. 

In fact, the resort is actually considered one of the best options for beginners in the whole of Europe. In particular, the Chavannes side of Les Gets features a wide range of beginner areas where people can get to grips with skiing for the first time. 

Mappys is the largest beginner-friendly area at Les Gets, with two magic carpet lifts and two cable-tow lifts that can take visitors to the correct area. It’s worth noting that Mappys is mid-mountain, and to get back to the village a blue (intermediate) run will need to be navigated. However, for those still not confident to take on a blue run, a gondola can get you back to base. 

There are also several green runs to enjoy, and when you feel confident enough you can progress to several blue options. 

As well as the beginner ski areas, there is a child skiing area called Grand Cry. This is Red Indian themed, and features a mauve ski run (for kids) that is full of plants and animals for the children to identify and enjoy.
