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?
