Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Les Gets in France is offering a 20 percent saving on lift tickets valid from six to 14 days if booked online before Oct. 31, 2009.

To qualify for the offer, clients must book online through the lift company's website. The deal is available all season except during February when the French school holidays mean the resort will be full without the need to discount.

Les Gets is a pleasant farming village, which has grown in to one of the world's top resorts. There is skiing on large forested slopes on both sides of the valley.

The resort's own mountain, Mont Chéry, served by a chair or gondola, offers terrain for all ability levels.  It typifies one of the resort's major assets - the fact that you can take a mixed ability group to the top of the gondola or a chair lift and find runs for each ability level - advanced, intermediate or easy, which depart from the same point and meet again at the base. 

The resort is close to Morzine, six kilometres away by road, and also the main lift-linked destination over the Pleney mountain. Both are on the huge Portes du Soleil circuit and it's possible to strike out in most directions on skis with a regional pass or just stay local with a Les Gets-Morzine only ticket.
