We’d passed Les Gets on our way to Morzine and I can’t say that I’d been impressed, but I was glad that we made the effort to come back and visit properly, as we’d managed to by-pass the whole town!
The resort itself is really quite small – one main road through the centre and walking distance from one end of the village to the other. The ESF school and main piste is right in the centre, so you can’t miss it (or the tanned ski instructors swaggering their way to their favourite watering hole), and there is another lift at just at the far edge of the village.
The whole place has a feel of the ski resorts in the Rockies on a much smaller scale.
There was still a fair amount of snow, and a surprising amount of people on the slopes considering that it’s not school holidays or the weekend, but I couldn’t help wondering how many of them would make it down safely as I’d heard on the radio this morning that Thursday is statistically the day for most injuries.
Apparently it is a combination of dehydration and the thoughts of returning to work that cause most people to lose their concentration, but our lot seemed to be doing fine, thank goodness. We explored the town for a while on foot, but as the weather wasn’t great for sightseeing (although fabulous ski conditions), we decided to call it a day.
