Location Details for the Resort and Town of Les Gets

Les Gets is an authentic and charming mountain resort nestled at an altitude of 1172m in the heart of the Chablais Massif. This natural and preserved village cultivates a welcoming atmosphere, making visitors feel right at home. It’s a truly traditional Alpine village.

With a history dating back to the 11th century, Les Gets retains a refined authenticity with its traditional stone and wooden chalets. The village centre is reasonably small, contributing to its family-friendly appeal. It offers a rich cultural heritage and a focus on wellness, making it a perfect place to relax after enjoying the ski areas.

Geographically situated on a mountain pass, Les Gets is located in the department of Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. It’s ideally positioned between Lake Geneva and the Mont-Blanc Massif. Les Gets is part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, which spans between France and Switzerland, offering access to fantastic terrain.

Les Gets is easily accessible by road. It is approximately 70-77 km from Geneva Airport (Geneva Cointrin Airport or GVA), with much of the journey on the motorway, offering a quick and easy connection. The resort is about 193-212 km from Lyon Airport and around 123-129 km from Chambéry Airport. The nearest train station is Cluses, which is approximately 22 km away, a drive of less than 30 minutes. From Cluses, you can connect to major rail networks, including services that can take you towards Geneva Cornavin train station.

Alternatives to Airport Transfers

While STT airport transfers offer the most direct and convenient route to your accommodation, other transport options are available, though often less direct or convenient, especially with luggage.

Bus and Shuttle Services

Scheduled bus services operate from nearby transport hubs like Cluses train station. However, there are generally no direct public bus routes from Geneva Airport to Les Gets, requiring changes. This option is typically less convenient with luggage and does not offer door-to-door service. You might have to walk from the bus stop to your hotel. You can often book a ticket online for these services.

Train Connections

The closest train station is Cluses. From major cities like Paris or Geneva Cornavin train station, you can take a train to Cluses and then arrange a local bus or taxi to Les Gets.

Car Rental Considerations

Hiring a car at the airport provides flexibility, but navigating potentially snowy mountain roads and finding parking in Les Gets can be challenging, especially during peak ski season. Eco-conscious travellers might consider this option, though our shared transfers offer a more environmentally friendly alternative.
