Les Gets Snow conditions

At this time of year our office in Scotland gets a lot of questions on the snow conditions in Les Gets. This morning the depth on the upper slopes is 190cm and snow at the top of the Portes du Soleil ski area has a depth of 260cm. There is still 65cm of snow at resort level and remember you can ski to the door of the Christiania in Les Gets.


The weather is great here in Les Gets today and the ski conditions are a lot of fun. if you want to see the conditions have a look at our webcam page on this link. The Piste Bashing team is doing a wonderful job keeping the pistes in perfect condition –nice and smooth. Now all the half term weeks are over the slopes are back to their normal peaceful selves with barely a lift queue to be seen.

The sun here is very enjoyable especially at lunch times sitting out in the sun with a good tartiflette! The bowl was in fantastic form yesterday and we all enjoyed the views of Mont Blanc from the top of the Rosta lift and the Eglantine red run down was a real buzz!

With light winds, plenty of sunshine and cold temperatures at night this really is a perfect week to be skiing. The wonderfully clear weather will also provide us with some fantastic views of the mountains around us with the Point Percé and the Mont Blanc range looking particularly spectacular.
