The picturesque commune of Les Gets is situated on the col between Samoëns and Morzine, at the western edge of the Portes du Soleil ski area. The area truly has something for everyone and it attracts skiers in the winter, mountain bikers in the summer and music lovers during its renowned Mechanical Music Festival. The resort sits near the border of Switzerland and is frequently visited by those from neighbouring regions and thus, Geneva to Les Gets transfers have become quite popular. Winter This is the ideal location for skiers that have beginner to intermediate skill sets on the slopes. The ski area consists primarily of blue and red runs (beginner and intermediate). It is a linked ski resort within the Portes du Soleil, and lift passes can be purchased for Les Gets and the neighbouring area of Morzine, or a pass can also be purchased for the wider Portes du Soleil. Along with Morzine the resort has approximately 50 lifts across several distinct ski areas. Avid snowboarders who bring their own boards on their Geneva to Les Gets transfer will be pleased to know that there are several good spots for off-piste snowboarding in the area. The best one is found by taking a short hike from the top of the Ranfoilly lift. This area has been rated one of the best off-piste powder bowls in Europe. Summer When the snow melts and the temperature rises, this region is a phenomenal destination for mountain bikers. The commune hosts many downhill mountain biking events, which have become very popular not only in France, but the surrounding countries as well. Keen bikers from Italy and Switzerland enjoy the two downhill mountain biking areas, which are found on either side of the village. A Geneva to Les Gets transfer, as well as a transfer from many northern Italian cities is ideal for those looking to bring their own mountain bikes. Mechanical Music Festival But the area is not only known for its sports - it is also bursting with culture. The commune has a highly visited museum of Mechanical Music, and it hosts a bi-annual festival of Mechanic Music. Throughout the festival the streets are closed off and barrel organs fill the air with the sounds of mechanical music. Organ players from other countries throughout Europe, particularly Germany, Holland and Switzerland, travel here to take part in the exciting event. Traditional Savoy foods such as tartiflette, a dish made of potatoes au gratin with reblochon cheese and lardons, are served and a traditional liquer, génépi, accompanies the cuisine. Utilising a Geneva to Les Gets transfer is ideal for organists travelling from Switzerland as the large equipment can easily be brought back and forth from France to Switzerland this way.
