Christmas Chalets in Les Gets

France · Christmas week 19 Dec – 26 Dec 2026

A family-friendly Savoyard village linked to Morzine and the Portes du Soleil, with gentle home slopes and a low-altitude trade-off.

Les Gets is a village on a sunny pass next to Morzine, and it has kept the feel of one: wooden chalets, a main street where people live and shop, and a museum of mechanical music in the old presbytery. It holds the Famille Plus label for family resorts, and most of what a young family needs — ski school, nursery slopes, shops — is close together.

The skiing is shared with Morzine and linked into the Portes du Soleil. Much of the home skiing is gentle and suits beginners and cautious intermediates, with the rest of the circuit there for stronger skiers. The trade-off at Christmas is altitude: Les Gets sits a little higher than Morzine but still low for the Alps, so early-season cover depends on the weather, and the snowmaking on the home runs does much of the work in a thin December.

Christmas in Les Gets

A village Christmas aimed squarely at children. The tourist office runs a Father Christmas village in the days before Christmas, and on Christmas Eve Father Christmas parades through the centre. It is smaller and quieter than Morzine's Christmas, and it feels like a village celebrating rather than a resort putting on a show.

Our Christmas atmosphere rating: 4 out of 5

If you are not skiing

Reasonable. The village is pleasant to walk around and has the mechanical music museum, and Morzine is close by for more shops and restaurants.

Christmas Snow Score

28/ 100

1,172m2,466m

Weather-dependent

28 out of 100 — more weather-dependent than most in late December. The strongest factor here is the snowmaking coverage. Snowmaking covers 48% of pistes and opens the season when snowfall is late. Read this one closely: the village sits a long way below the skiing, and this score leans on village altitude. The mountain above is considerably higher than the number suggests — you are likelier to be taking a gondola to the snow than walking out into it. Scored on 88% of our inputs; the rest are still being verified. Snow in the Alps varies from one December to the next, and no resort can promise cover on a given week.

Still to verify: recent december openings. These carry no weight until they are sourced, so the score is calculated across the 88% we hold.

The Christmas Snow Score compares resorts on altitude, terrain, snowmaking and past December openings. It describes how reliable a resort tends to be, not what the snow will do this year — Alpine conditions vary every season and nobody can guarantee them.

Common questions about Christmas in Les Gets

Is there usually snow in Les Gets at Christmas?

Les Gets scores 28 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, which rates how reliably a resort tends to have skiable snow in Christmas week. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December. The village is at 1,172m and the ski area reaches 2,466m. The skiing sits far higher than the village, so in a thin December expect to ride a lift up to the snow rather than ski back to the door. The score describes how reliable the resort tends to be, not what the snow will do this year — conditions vary every season and nobody can promise them.

How high is Les Gets?

The village sits at 1,172m, and the lift-served ski area reaches 2,466m. Ski area figure is the Portes du Soleil, which Les Gets is linked into (as for Morzine). Piste kilometres and snowmaking are for the Les Gets–Morzine area. Altitude is the single best predictor of whether a resort will be skiing at Christmas, which is why it carries the most weight in our Christmas Snow Score. Figures checked on 21 September 2026 against the source listed on this page.

Is Les Gets good for families at Christmas?

Les Gets is one of the better family choices we cover. The beginner terrain is good, which matters with children. It also does Christmas itself well, which children notice. This is our editorial judgement rather than a measurement, and the resort page explains the reasoning.

Can a beginner learn to ski in Les Gets at Christmas?

Yes — Les Gets has good beginner terrain. One thing to weigh at Christmas specifically: nursery slopes are the lowest terrain in any resort and therefore the first to be thin in December. Here, that is worth taking seriously in a poor December.

Which airport do you fly into for Les Gets?

The usual arrival airports are Geneva (GVA). We do not publish transfer times, because they swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week — ask your transfer company for a figure they will stand behind.

What is Christmas actually like in Les Gets?

A village Christmas aimed squarely at children. The tourist office runs a Father Christmas village in the days before Christmas, and on Christmas Eve Father Christmas parades through the centre. It is smaller and quieter than Morzine's Christmas, and it feels like a village celebrating rather than a resort putting on a show.

Can I book a chalet in Les Gets through this site?

Not directly — we are not a travel agent and we take no bookings or payments. We link to partners who do, and the links on this page go to their live Christmas availability. If you book through one we may earn a commission, which never changes your price.
