Snow!

Les Gets has been covered with snow over the last few days - and according to www.snow-forecast.com the Portes de Soleil is set to have the largest snowfall in the world over the next three days.

Les Gets is a great resort for early season skiing, as all of the pistes are mown pastures, meaning that just a light snowfall renders them skiable. With a few more days of snow forecast and then a deep temperature drop, enabling the snow cannons to start working in earnest, things are looking bright for the resort.

We have been talking to Where to Ski And Snowboard - Britain's leading winter sports resort guide over the last few days - what a great resource! Hoping to meet up with them in the New Year and show them all of the new bars, restaurants, buildings and shops in Les Gets this year.

The phones have started ringing in earnest again, so if you are planning on booking a ski holiday with Alpine Inspirations this season you'd best act fast.

Les Gets skiing for winter 2012

With the Alpine drought at an end and snow building up, your thoughts should be turning to where to stay in Les Gets.

We have nothing left in December - so I am afraid all of those with hopes of a white Christmas will need it to snow in the UK. We do have some great chalets and apartments still available for January weeks however, and at good prices.

Just one week is left in Les Eglantines - the 14th-21st January at £1650, so be quick if you want to secure this spacious chalet just minutes from the slopes and the centre of town.

Other chalets available in January include the wonderful Chalet Celine, where we have slashed prices on January weeks to just £1500 for a limited time. The Loft is just £1700 for up to twelve people - a bargain self-catered ski holiday if ever there was one!

Our little hip-hotel, Chalet Manon has the 14th-21st January and the 21st-28th available at £1250 - it is beautiful and is ski-in/ski-out from the main Chavannes blue run. Wonderful.

Les Giboulees and Les Mures offer amazing value-for-money ski accommodation. Both are just a five minute walk from the slopes and are a great place to spend a family ski holiday.

Chez Rose must be the cutest rented chalet in Les Gets - sleeping up to five people it is an independent, detaches chalet on four floors - with a sauna! It is just £800 for the remaining January weeks.

For those preferring luxurious apartments in Les Gets how about Le Genepi - right in the centre of town, serviced and beautiful. Or we have Chalet Seven, which has access to a spa and swimming pool! Or the utterly fabulous Passa Franc - surely one of the most beautiful apartments you can rent in Les Gets right now?

Call or email to discuss arrangements.

Fish and Chip wars

Les Gets is poised for an exciting season, with the opening of several new eating and drinking venues.

JM and Rhona from Mamma's in Morzine, purveyors of fish and chips to the seasonnaires and holidaymakers of that town have taken over the Boomerang in Les Gets. They are going to open a fish and chip shop much like Mammas there as well as a tapas cum wine bar. Quite how they will make this work in the Boomerang space is intriguing and several locals have been pressing their faces against the windows to find out more. Only time will tell....

The Dublin Inn, no doubt annoyed by several years of confusion with the Irish Bar, is going to change its name to JC's Sports Bar. Still owned by local celeb Big Jim it will have a new manager, new staff and in the kitchen will be the team from Morzine's other fish and chip shop A&D. The new branding has started to go up and Jim will be opening soon.

Just a few steps away from the ever-popular Canadian and Irish bars in the centre of town is a new all-glass, circular bar in the style of Avoriaz's Chez Flo. This is called Ba Bar, owened by the Belle Alpe hotel and run by Ritchie from the Bowling Bar just down the road.

There will be a new wine bar a few steps down the road in the other direction too, in the space previously occupied by a t-shirts and sweets shop. There are other changes too - the restaurant La Remize is under new management, as is the Flambeau. Sadly the wonderful Snack Attack has gone, but  anew building is being erected in its place, so hopefully their great value food will be back in time for the snow. Exciting times.

If any of these whets your appetite have a look at our available accommodation in Les Gets this winter. We still have one half-term week left, and one New Year week. January is offering good value while February if filling up very quickly.

New Years Eve in Les Gets


08.11.2011

We have one chalet still available for the week of the 31st December to the 7th January. It is one of the most popular and well-situated on our books and would make for the perfect ski holiday whether you are families or a group of friends.
Les Eglantines is a newly refurbished chalet on the Mont Chery side of Les Gets village. It has been interior designed to a high standard in a cool, modern style but retaining traditional chalet charm. It is an eclectic mix of old French antiques as well as all the modern comforts needed to make a holiday as relaxing as possible. It has a cozy Savoyard feel. As the chalet is located at the end of a quiet cul de sac there is plenty of off street parking for cars. The chalet is surrounded by its own private garden with beautiful views to the ski lifts opposite and the beautiful Savoyard village of Les Gets beneath. There is also a terrace on three sides of the property with an outdoor BBQ for guests use. Les Eglantines can sleep up to 10 people over three floors in 4 good sized bedrooms.

It is available for the week of the 31st December to the 7th January for £3250, down from £3750....
