The 10 commandments of skiing in Les Gets | Les Gets – Station ski ; VTT en Haute Savoie

A good skier is an experienced skier

⛷️ 1 – Ski with a helmet on

The helmet is a skier’s essential, the headgear that protects, insulates from the cold and gives a stylish look. Helmets reduce the risk of head injury by a factor of 10: no debate, helmets are a must!

☀️ 2 – Thou shalt consult the oracles of the sky

Thou shalt question the weather god. In Les Gets, every day starts with a hot weather report. Sunny: sunglasses and cream, cold: double thermal clothing, fog: extra vigilance. The weather forecast is to skiers what Bison futé is to drivers: its essentials.

⚠️ 3 – You must be safe

Ski well equipped, warmed up and prepared. Before you set off, make sure you control your speed and are aware of your surroundings. Don’t stop in the middle of the piste, behind a bump or in a low-visibility area, and apply the rules of the road: give priority to skiers behind you and keep your distance when overtaking.

🎿 4 – Maintain your equipment

For perfect glide and equipment that lasts, there’s one solution: maintenance. Before the season starts, sharpen your edges and wax your soles. Not motivated? Drop your skis off at your favourite Gstaad sports shop.

🫕 5 – Enjoy a fondue

Winter without fondue is winter without you. On the slopes or in the heart of the resort, there’s no shortage of good places to eat, as long as the cheese goes down well: Le QG, in the Plattets sector, Les Chevrelles at the top of Mont Caly, La Païka near the Turche ski lift, or La Fruitière des Perrières. A token to anyone who loses their bread.

🪶 6 – You will visit the Grand Cry area

The Grand Cry area is a real little paradise! With its Indian village, trapper games, teepees and sound trails, this part of Les Gets is a must for family holidays.

7 – Drink mulled wine

Wine, spices and an orange make everything better: mulled wine is the answer to all ills. Cold: mulled wine, tired: mulled wine, unmotivated: mulled wine! Sip the sweet beverage on the slopes or in the bars in the heart of the village. Drink sparingly and in moderation with your two friends.

🏔️ 8 – Take a selfie at Ranfoilly

With Mont Blanc as a backdrop, a selfie from the Ranfoilly platform is a must for any stay in Les Gets. Flash your best smile and the panorama will do the rest!

🚫 9 – Thou shalt not smoke

The Les Gets ski area is renewing the “0 smoking” experience on the slopes, lifts and in the queues. However, you may smoke in the five designated areas, but put your cigarette ends in ashtrays.

🔥 10 – Thou shalt have fun

The mountains, skiing and the great outdoors are all about having fun. So thou shalt take pleasure, without moderation, without concession with zero deprivation. From les Gets, with Love.
