Les Gets is the same place as Morzine well 5 minutes apart but they are the same trail network, all the trails are interlinked, you get a pass for the lifts that cross the whole region, what time in the season are you going? Give me a shout if you want any info dude  |

looking at going over to chamonix via lifts with bikes for an all day epic.

Chamonix?? Bit ambitious even in the ski season; all lifts aren't usually open in summer and it's a hell of a long way from Les Gets. Just checked the map and my ski-ing partner says it's not possible as no link by lifts even in ski season |

Great area and if I went again if be tempted to stay in les gets rather than morzine! As oggy says its all interlinked anyway, the trails are great in les gets bike park, the red down under the lift from les gets town center being one of my faves of the holiday, as soon as our Internet has been connected at the new house il upload a vid of it!
I'd wore knee and elbow pads over there, normally I can't stand wearing them but it didn't bother me out there and there was 1 day I didn't bother as we were planning a bit of distance but I felt very exposed without them! So I'd say def get some even if it's just for the holiday!
