Getting Here
- Transport can be arranged to give 7 days on the hill instead of the normal 6!
- 1 hour transfer time from Geneva
- Arrange your own flights to suit you;
your times and your choice of airport.
- Only 30 minutes from the motorway
- Sunday transfers - less busy, less hassle.
Les Gets is one of the most easily accessible resorts in the alps. It is only 1 hour from Geneva airport. Driving to Les Gets is very easy, as is it motorway all the way from Calais until the last half hour.
Our transfer day is Sunday.
This has many advantages as the majority of ski companies do Saturday transfers, meaning that on a Sunday life is far more relaxed.
- Less queues in the airport
- More flights available (as less block bookings by other tour operators)
- Shorter transfer times as the roads have less traffic
- Ski hire shop is quieter
Also this allows you to ski on the following saturday, normally the quietest day on the hill!
Select your own flight times and departure airport to suit you. You can now fly to Geneva from most regional airports, so there is no need to be tied down by pre-booked London only flights. Just let us know your flight details and we will take over from Geneva airport.
Please note you need to check out of the chalet before 10am, and it will be ready for the next arrivals to check in by 3pm. It is possible for you to arrive in the chalet early (as long as you don't mind us cleaning around you!) This must be arranged in advance.
Getting here by Plane
There are many low-cost airlines flying into Geneva. You can fly from most regional airports. Book early for good prices. A flight that was £20 five months ahead can be over £200 when booked last minute.
Our transfers are in minibuses to the door of the chalet. There is plenty of space for luggage including ski/board bags. We can supply baby seats and booster seats, please let us know in advance if you require these.
Timings - Minibuses pick up 3.5hrs before departure time, and you can expect to be in the chalet between 1.5 and 2 hrs after your plane touches down assuming things run smoothly.
The major airlines worth checking out are Easyjet, British Airways, Flybe and Bmibaby
There are many other airlines flying to Geneva too, including Jet2, Swissair, FlyGlobespan and KLM
