Where are you situated in the town of Les Gets?

The hotel is located close to the centre of Les Gets on a quieter stretch of the Rue du Centre that runs through the middle of the town.

Do you have parking at the hotel?

How close are the slopes and the nearest uplift?

The nearest uplift is just 250m from our front door. It will take you five minutes to get there on foot. From there, the Chavannes gondola and chairlift will give you access to Les Gets’ and Morzine’s pistes in winter and bike trails in summer. You will be able to ski down to this area at the end of the day.

What do we do about lift passes and where do we get all the equipment that we need?

New for this year: We can now issue passes in the hotel (at no extra charge).  Just ask at reception when you get here, or order them in advance as part of your booking and they’ll be ready for you when you arrive.

We have a partnership with Sport 2000 (located right next to the slopes). They are able to take bookings for all ski and snowboard equipment, contact us to arrange this for you. You will be able to leave equipment there at the end of the day.

In the summer you can get some light exercise with a swim in the lake or an easy walk on numerous gentle trails, put your feet up in the sunshine and reap the benefits of alpine fresh air. Throughout the winter you can take a swift gondola ride to enjoy the magnificent views or stroll through the twinkling, snow covered streets and discover a great selection of shops, restaurants and bars for all your retail and party needs.
