The French Alpine town of Les Gets is located in the "Portes du Soleil" ski area, on the road to Morzine and Avoriaz, half way between the Mont Blanc and the Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). The Portes du Soleil is not only one of the largest ski areas in the world; it is also one of the most snow sure which has consistently recorded amongst the largest individual snowfalls and deepest snow depths in Europe, throughout the season. Les Gets, at the heart of the Portes du Soleil, sits at an altitude of 1172m and its easily accessible sister resort Avoriaz at 1800m, however a common misconception is to judge the Portes du Soleil purely on altitude…
