2. Check road conditions<\/strong><\/strong> \ud83d\udee3<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n

If you’re travelling by car, check the road conditions so you won’t get any nasty surprises. And remember that you must have winter kit on all roads and motorways in the Haute-Savoie department.<\/p>\n

So, get your winter tyres, snow chains or snow tyre socks ready!<\/p>\n

For an easier option, you can always car-share with someone else or come by train or bus. There are lots of options for getting to Les Gets.<\/p>\n\n

3. Check parking facilities<\/strong> \ud83c\udd7f\ufe0f and how to get around in Les Gets<\/strong><\/strong>\ud83d\ude8c<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n

Once you arrive in Les Gets, you can leave your car in the car park and get around by foot, shuttle bus or little train.<\/p>\n

The local authority has decided to provide free parking. All outdoor parking for tourist vehicles is free in the village. During the winter season, the car parks in the centre are in a blue zone, where parking is limited to a maximum of two hours between 8am and 6pm.<\/p>\n

Colour-coded parking discs for the different resorts are freely available<\/u> from the town hall reception or the Tourist Office.<\/p>\n

A number of car parks are available for you to use : https:\/\/www.lesgets.com\/en\/discover-the-resort\/mountain-resort\/getting-there\/#car-parks<\/a><\/p>\n

To help you get around, there are free shuttle services to the main parts of the village and during the skiing season, a shuttle service operates between resorts. Whether you want to travel by bike, hire a GetsLib electric bike, have a wander on foot or travel on the little train, you\u2019ll be able to move around safely and enjoy a spot of shopping in the town centre, where roads are fully pedestrianised at certain times of year.<\/p>\n\n
