Discussion on Les Gets
Hi anyone got anything that they can say about Les Gets/ Morzine, France. I am going to be a newbie seasonnaire in Les Gets. All comments welcome. What do i expect, whats good about the place, what is there etc?
"there is loads of information on Google"
"you can get a weeks outing for just £299 and its a great place to go. ? hope this helps"
We are arriving there 22.12.07 for a week and will stay in self catered chalet in Les Gets. Is it worth buying the whole Portes du Soleil skipass (is there something exeptional to see/experiance other side of border (Les Crosets) or is Morzine/Les Gets area big and exciting enaugh for enthusiastic average experianced skiers (blues and reds)? We'll be driving and some of our group are non-skiers so is there any "must visit" places close-by? In case there will be no snow at that altitude at Christmas period, what is the nearest around 2500 - 3000m altitude skiing resort? Thanks
"dont fall over"
"Yes, have a great time."
"Here's a tip from personal experience wherein I used one of my 9 lives . . . Mountain ridges separating France from Switzerland in the Portes du Soleil region can be really icy a few feet down on the Swiss side. I stopped on a short, narrowish switchback trail on the Les Crosets side from Avoriaz to wait for my girlfriend to catch up. After she did, I turned to ski down the mountain but slipped and started immediately tumbling head over heels. I TUMBLED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, TWICE TUMBLING AIRBORNE FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE 10 SECONDS EACH TIME. Through the grace of God I was not hurt. Just bruised a bit. Tucking into a fetal position certainly helped. After I stopped, knocked off the snow that encased my head, and looked up the mountain, not a soul was skiing -- they were all watching me. So what was was there to do but throw up my arms and yell "VOILA". As people skied down and brought pieces of my gear, they looked at me like they were seeing a ghost. My girlfriend was pretty freaked and although a good skier, she really skied slower the rest of the day. I took off the "wet look" ski pants I had over my jeans (their slickness had been part of the problem) and enjoyed skiing the rest of the day, but saw a rescue helicopter airlift an injured skier from the area where I had tumbled. You can get to the highest runs in the region from Avoriaz 1800. We had the pass for both French and Swiss resorts, but except for the coolness factor of skiing back and forth between countries, I found skiing on the French side was better. Neat stuff to do when not skiing . . . kicking around/exploring Morzine. I didn't make it over to Les Gets, but you can no doubt alternate between the hot tub and rolling around in the snow there too. Have fun and hope you are lucky with the snow base. Regardless, you will be enjoying a Disneyland for adults."
8 of us late-20's-early-30's are driving to Les Gets on 21st Dec for a week and any tips on local area would be very helpful (places to hire skis and ski boots, shops to buy boots as I am planning to get my own ones at last, sauna/swimming pool, places to eat, other sporting activities like snow mobiles, etc). In case of very bad weather is there anything to see around, say 50miles radius from Les Gets (at least Mont Blanc I guess :) Thanks very much in advance and Happy Christmas!
"there is usually a hire shop at every hotel"

he best time of year for bike riding in Morzine is between June and September. Those are the months, which attract most of the bikers who come to visit Morzine and Les-Gets which are known especially for their downhill bike trails. Although the best weather is usually found in July and August, there are plenty of mountain bikers who prefer to come

Morzine & les-Gets provides people the once in a lift time option to view from no distance what they usually see only in extreme movies – Heavy DH bikes, all this protecting stuff, people jumn all the north shore ramps, the dirt jumps, and all this other stuff.
