Snow and Icicles on the hotel Christiania roof

With the continued cold conditions in Les Gets (it's currently -15 again this morning) we keep having to knock the icicles off the roof as the guests sometime leave the windows open in their rooms at the Hotel Christiania when they are having a shower.


The staff keep knocking the snow and ice off the roof as you would certainly not want to be under that snow when it falls off the roof.

Conditions in Les Gets and the Portes du Soleil remain excellent with 85cm on the lower slopes and 220cm at the top of the mountain outside the hotel.

Skiing Mont Chery

This video from Les Gets in the Portes du Soleil shows Derek our hotel manager on his run from Mont Chery to the Hotel this afternoon. He was holding his i-phone in his hand, which was very cold at the bottom of the run as its a mild minus 15 in Les Gets today!




A great review on our Facebook page

At the Hotel Christiania Les Gets we welcome all forms of customer feedback from our guests.

Some thank the staff at the hotel, some contact the office in Scotland and others leave trip advisor reviews however this week we had our first review on Facebook.

A second visit to a great hotel, as per last year there was great food on offer, top hospitality from the staff and to top it all this year the snow was fantastic. To try and find a better hotel for similar money with half board with transfers would be a real task in the Alps, congratulations to Derek and the team for giving us another great holiday, sure we will be back next season for more of the same. Kev, Ian, Nik, Graham

It's great to know everything is going well at the Christiania this season.

February conditions in Les Gets

Following yesterdays snow Les Gets and the Portes su Soleil open the month with excellent conditions as can be seen from these images from the Les Gets and Hotel Christiania web cams taken this afternoon at 1.30pm local time.

The resort staff report 85cm of snow at the door of the hotel at 1172m, 185cm at the mid point of 1500m and 210cm at the summit of 1800m.

Conditions remain good all over the Portes du Soleil and this is certainly a good year to be in the Alps

 The village
 The mountain view
 Great conditions and clear slopes.
 Looking great

Our "Transfer window"

While the football transfer window slammed shut last night until the summer, remember at the Hotel Christiania in Les Gets we can offer you return transfers to and from Geneva for 70€ per person.

At present due to French and Swiss bureaucracy we are using ski transfers to get our guests to resort but you should still be collected within 1 hour of your arrival in Geneva and 1 hour later you will be in Les Gets.


To book your transfer call the UK office on 44 1738 840888.
