Skiing
From Chalet Elise, it is only 150m to the free shuttle bus stop. Buses run every ten minutes up the slopes and into the village. Les Folliets ski lift is a three-minute shuttle bus ride up the mountain road (away from the morning crowds).
The Skiing
The local Les Gets and Morzine skiing is extensive; covering over 120km of pistes of all standards making it a great destination for mixed ability groups, including plenty of nursery starter slopes, lots of wide blue and red cruising runs, exciting off-piste and black runs.
Les Gets is also linked to the Portes du Soleil region, the largest linked ski area in Europe with an enormous 650km of pistes from 1000 to 2466m, covering 14 resorts in France and Switzerland, including the snow-sure resort of Avoriaz. Chalet Elise is located on the right side of the valley to access the Porte du Soleil.

Snow Record
Les Gets has an excellent snow record with snow falling early because of its location in the snow shadow of Mont Blanc. Snow holds fast thanks to the abundance of grassy slopes (as opposed to rock) and to the protection of the abundant pine trees.
Ecological Credentials
Les Gets has been awarded ISO 9001; a European Government award for good environmental practice, which recognizes the resorts use of:
- Renewable energy to power lifts
- Additive free snow-making
- Ski vehicles run on bio fuel
- Biomass heating
