Forecast today: Partly cloudy
There is more than enough variety in the local slopes to keep all but the keenest skiers and boarders happy for a week.
Almost all the pistes are rated blue or red, but there is a good beginner zone at the summit of the Chavannes gondola and there are some steeper blacks at Mont Chery, as well as some extensive freeride terrain at Chamossiรจre above Morzine. The woods afford excellent protection in bad weather, but just note that the altitude is low, so snow quality can suffer early and late in the season.
The town itself is pretty and is dominated by traditional, chalet-style buildings. Basing yourself at the base of the Chavannes gondola and express chair affords you the best access to the slopes and the quickest access to the linked ski area. On-mountain restaurants are plentiful and usually of a high standard, whilst in town there are also some good bars and dining options.
Although there are a couple of short drags on the edge of town, the best beginner slopes are located at mid-mountain level, at the top of the Chavannes gondola. Longer greens are hard to come by, but there are a number of gentle blues that offer good progression for early intermediates. More confident skiers and boarders will be able to enjoy the vast majority of the Les Gets- Morzine ski area โ our favourite runs are the long reds served by the recently built Ranfoilly Express.
Exploring the rest of the Portes du Soleil is well worth it for confident intermediates upwards โ advanced and expert skiers should certainly buy the full lift pass and explore all 580km of slopes. Locally however, there are some decent steep runs at Mont Chery and also above Morzine in the Nyon and Chamossiรจre sectors โ where the best off piste can also be found.
Les Gets is attractive, with most buildings low-rise and constructed from wood in a traditional style โ this is no high-rise concrete jungle like Avoriaz. The main street is lined with shops selling local produce and wine, whilst numerous restaurants and bars give it a lively and appealing feel. There are some good hotels, but also a great deal of chalet accommodation in the resort โ lots of British tour operators run several chalets here.
The resort has a great selection of winter activities to keep kids and non- skiers occupied โ including nursery and kindergarden options โ making this a great family destination, or ideal for a mixed group containing non-skiers.
Winter walking and snowshoeing are popular, whilst cross country skiing is also available.

Good conditions remain in play for resorts that are still open, with the snowpack holding up well above 2,000m. This is especially true after the good snowfall of the last couple of weeks, which has been retained at these higher elevations.
Things will remain broadly calm and dry for the French Alps this week, with high pressure bringing sun and fine, dry and bright conditions for many areas. The freezing line will climb gently over this weekend and into the new week, beginning at 1,750m overnight/2,250m day and rising to 2,500/3,500m.
Some precipitation may move across the region in the middle of next week – this could well fall as rain given these mild conditions.
