Les Gets, Alta Savoia, Rodano Alpi

Chalet Marion is a 5-bedroom, modern chalet in the sought-after Lac des Ecoles area of les Gets, less than 300 metres from the lake itself and the Chavannes pistes. Built in 2004, the chalet is at the end of a private, no-through road backing onto the forest.

With a modern interior style and hardwood floors, the centrepiece of the chalet is the living space on the middle floor with picture windows framing the wonderful, west-facing view of the mountains which can also be enjoyed from either of the terraces. There are 3 bedrooms on the top floor, including the master ensuite, plus 2 further bedrooms at garden level sharing 2 bathrooms.

Les Gets, at an altitude of 1172m, is the first resort in the ’Portes du Soleil’. The town retains an authentic charm, with a reasonably small village centre and is thus popular with families. It is a genuine, dual season resort with a strong winter season and a summer season driven by its mountain biking and hiking trails.

Access
Les Gets is just over an hour’s drive (70km) from Geneva International Airport, much of which is by motorway with the last 20km on more local roads. The resort is well served by private minibus transfers (easyBus, AlpyBus, etc) with fares from €15.99 each way on a shared transfer. With its ease of access, les Gets is a sought-after resort for investment, attracting the short stay as well as weekly stays.

Winter season
The Portes du Soleil is one of the largest skiing areas in Europe with 600km of skiing in 2 countries, comprising 34 green, 119 blue, 101 red and 32 black pistes in total. Les Gets itself has over 100km of pisted ski runs, linking easily to the Morzine ski area and on to Avoriaz.

The resort has a children-only ski area as well as slopes aimed at beginner and intermediate level skiers, although there is plenty of off-piste options for the more experienced skiers. Overall, it’s a favourite for families with Morzine attracting the party scene and Avoriaz the more experienced skiers.

Summer season
Les Gets is a genuine dual-season resort as it offers a wide variety of activities during the summer months driven by the mountain biking for which it is famous. Since its inception in the early 1990s, Les Gets has hosted some notable events including the World Championships and, with the rest of the Portes du Soleil, has 600 kms of bike tracks, both downhill and cross-country, accessible with one lift pass. Many road cyclists also come here to make the most of the multiple climbs, most notably the Col de Joux Plane from Morzine to Samoëns but also Col de la Ramaz and the Col de Joux Verte, all of which are Tour de France regulars.

Otherwise, there are numerous possibilities including hiking, rock-climbing, paragliding and white-water rafting as well as an 18 hole golf course. There is also the possibility to go swimming in the Lac des Ecoles on the Chavannes slope with its water slides, play area and volleyball pitch.
