Choosing the right base in Les Gets
Choosing between village centre, Chavannes side and Perrières side changes the daily routine as much as the hotel itself. Les Gets is lower and more village-oriented than Avoriaz, with strong family appeal and easy access to Morzine. Choose among village centre, Chavannes side and Perrières side according to the lifts and village routine the group will actually use every day.
The Chavannes sector is central to ski-school and family routines; Perrières is quieter and useful for arrivals by car. Skiers chasing terrain may accept a less central address, while families and non-skiers usually benefit from fewer transfers and easier walking.
Hôtel La Marmotte: why it matters

Chalet-Hôtel La Tapiaz & Spa: a different version of Les Gets

Access and the daily routine in Les Gets

Rooms, views and facilities

Who should stay where in Les Gets
