There's skiing on largely forested slopes on both sides of the valley. The resort's 'own' mountain Mont Chéry, served by a chair or gondola, offers terrain for all ability levels. It typifies one of the resort's major assets - the fact that you can take a mixed ability group to the top of the gondola or a chair lift and find runs for each ability level - advanced, intermediate and easy, which depart from the same point and meet again at the base. Beginners have nursery slopes at village level and, across the valley at Les Chavannes (1484m), reached by road, chair lift or gondola, there are altitude nursery slopes, with the added security of snow making. This is also the route over to the skiing of Morzine, and from there on up to Avoriaz, then ultimately over the Swiss border. Thus it is perfectly feasible for reasonable intermediate level skiers to head over to Switzerland for lunch before returning home - the trip is possible on blues and reds, and there are dozens of other itineraries in this huge lift-linked area of 650km (406 miles). With more than six different routes up on to the mountains from resort level there are rarely any bottle necks in which queues might develop. Much of the skiing above Les Gets and Morzine are cut through the forest, with snow lying on top of meadow grass, so there are few nasty rocks to worry about when the snow cover is sometimes thin at the start and end of the season. There's a choice of four ski schools: the original French Ski School, the Skiplus School which offers off-piste lessons, the 360 International Ski School and the Des Enfants Ski School.
