Your Les gets Holiday

Stay for 5 nights in a gorgeous, centrally located chalet enjoying home cooked food from a professional chef, a stunning alpine village and some of the finest mountain biking Europe has to offer.

The Chalet

The Alpine Lodge is a modern chalet with a cool blend of rustic and sleek touches, bursting with with alpine cosiness. There is a fire place, an open plan living room that flows out onto a huge sundeck, which has which plenty of comfortable seating, an outdoor hot tub and a BBQ.

The chalet is equipped with a secure garage for bike storage, off road parking if you choose to drive, and has laundry facilities available. It sleeps 10 guests (12 when you include your hosts).

The Alpine Lodge is located just 400m from the main Chavannes Express chairlift, which is about a 3 minute cycle, it’s also less than a five minute walk to the village centre. So whether you want to grab a coffee, saunter around the shops, or hit the bike park, it’s all on your doorstep. The perfect location for a MTB holiday!

You will be catered for during your stay by your very own chalet chef. You’ll have breakfast available every morning and a freshly prepared evening meal 4 out of the 5 nights (see ‘chalet chef & host day off’ below for more information).
What’s Included:
- Continental Breakfasst
Available every morning
A continental breakfast will be laid out every day in a self-serve style, there will be fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, bread, tea and coffee and a selection of pastries from some of our favourite local bakeries. On host day off we’ll make sure you know where everything is the night before.
- Family-Style 2 Course Dinner
Available 4 out of the 5 days
We will be making you a hearty, 2-course family-style dinner in the evening, designed to tick all the nutritional boxes after a day shredding the bike park, cooked by a professional chef, and available for you to enjoy in a relaxed and chill setting.
Family-style essentially means there will be enough food for everyone to help themselves and eat on their own schedule, outside in the evening sun, at the dining table or even relaxing on the sofas in front of a movie. We don’t want to create a formal eating environment, we just want everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed, enjoying the company of the women around them in our cosy chalet.
Meals will usually consist of a main with a side and a decadent dessert; for example a 10 hour slow cooked bolognaise served over linguine, with garlic bread and parmesan, followed by a banging brownie and some ice cream.
Simple, delicious and nutritious food served with good vibes and made with quality ingredients.
Don’t want to eat in the chalet?
If you’d rather head out into to town for a meal on any of the nights during your stay, you absolutely can do so, just be sure to tell your hosts beforehand. (This won’t affect the price of the holiday)
- Drinks
We’ll have a stocked beer fridge that you can help yourself to whenever you like. We’ll also have some soft drinks available and of course fresh mountain water straight from the tap! If you want to bring your own drinks and pop them in the fridge then this more than ok.
- Snacks
We’ll have sweet and savoury, snacks available throughout the day in the chalet, for you to help yourself.
Dietary Requirements
We’ll do our very best to cater for any dietary requirements or preferences you let us know about in advance. While we aim to offer suitable alternatives where possible, we cannot guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
Chalet Chef & Host Day Off
Your chef and host have Monday off which means you’ll receive dinner 4 days out of 5. We can help you book somewhere for dinner when you arrive. A continental breakfast will still be available in chalet on chef & host day off.
Your hosts, Heather (SheRide’s founder) and her partner Tom* (your chef for the week), will be in the chalet to cook and be there to help during your stay. They are there in a more friendly and relaxed capacity than a formal hosting capacity. There won’t be any room service, towel changes or mid week cleans. The whole aim of this trip is to bring women together to ride in one of the world’s best MTB locations, so casual and relaxed vibes will be abundant.
*Tom will act as our chef, and only be present for the meal times and upon request- all other activities will be women only. Heather will always be available to ride with you too, even on day off :)

Group Social Rides
When: Daily
You’ll have the opportunity to ride each day with the other women in your chalet. Heather with join you on the first day and we’ll hit the trails together as group- only if you want to, of course. If you’d prefer to do your own thing then that’s totally fine too. Our social rides have a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features, or forcing anyone to ride anything they aren’t comfortable with. No pressure, just good times.
Heather will also be available to ride with every day of your trip, including on her day off.
Please note: our social rides are not guided or coached. We’re simply hitting the trails together as group.

Depending on numbers this will be split into an AM and PM group. The groups will be based on skill level so everyone can get the most out of their experience.

Yoga

AM yoga sessions will take place before breakfast outside on the terrace (or inside if the weather isn’t on our side). If you fancy getting some movement in before breakfast then come and join in, but there’s no pressure to do so.

When: We recommend doing this on the last night (everyone is pretty exhausted by then!) but it’s up to the group
One evening we’ll have a chilled one as a group and stick on a MTB movie in the chalet. If this isn’t your vibe, you don’t have to join in and can do your own thing.
Other Activities in Les Gets
There are heaps of activities besides mountain biking that are available in Les Gets. Lake swims, hikes, illuminated forest walks, alpine rollercoasters… we could go on!

We want every member of our collective to feel like a part of something.
Getting women together to shred is kind of our thing!

Les Gets

Les Gets is newer to the MTB scene than Morzine (which is included in the same lift pass), but it’s no less notorious; it plays host to a UCI MTB World Championship round and the down hill track is something to behold- a fan and rider favourite.
The Bike Park
The Portes du Soleil is the largest connected bike park in the world, with 600km of multi-use trails, 22 MTB accessible chairlifts and 6 dedicated bike parks, it is truly an MTB paradise.
You can practise all disciplines of cycling here, even enjoying some of the toughest road stages on the Tour de France; but it’s the mountain biking that truly makes this area special.
There are trails ranging from gorgeous, scenic greens that can teach you all you need to know about the mountain, to the steepest most technical descents in the world, with a few jumps, drops and single track masterpieces in between.
Les Gets is home to some of the very best flow trails in the whole bike park. The new Elipse pro-line, along with new blue and red trails for 2025, and major trail revamps, prove that the Les Gets bike park is a serious contender for being the best of the best.
But don’t let that intimidate you, Les Gets is well known for its endless flow trails, perfectly sculpted jump lines and green trials that are amongst the longest and best in the entire Portes du Soleil.
There are 2 lifts that leave the village:
- Les Chavannes
This is your main access to the bike park and opens up access to Nauchets, the home of flow. From these two lifts alone you can access 15 flow trails ranging from green to black that are packed with dream dirt, perfect berms and the most amazing table top jumps.
If progression is your game then you can access the skills park under the Chavannes chairlift for some practice, or tackle some gaps and more technical jumps on the trails above.
This lift is also your access point to Morzine and the flow trails that are new for 2025.
- Mont Chery (Closed for our Trip Dates)
On the other side of town is the old, but fantastic Mont Chery Gondola that allows access to the famous Dans le Gas black trail, the Oakley Elipse line and the World Cup track (although this is off limits to us mere mortals).
The Village
Les Gets is your quintessential French Alpine village, packed with adorable chalets, family vibes and plenty to see and do. It’s home to some of the very best food, coffee and bars in the whole of the Portes du Soleil. It has much more of a community village vibe than Morzine, and is the perfect place for those looking for a quieter pace of life.
Activities
Whilst mountain biking is what the village is centred around, there is so much more to do in Les Gets. There is a swimming lake with an inflatable obstacle course, the 4 Seasons Luge- an adrenaline fuelled alpine roller coaster (that is extremely reasonably priced), stunning hikes and night time illuminated forest walk, just to name a few.
If you’d like help purchasing lift passes and bike hire you can contact our partner here
Lift Passes
*NOT INCLUDED- you will need to buy your own lift pass to access the bike park*
Les Gets is a lift-accessed bike park so you’ll need a lift pass to ride the chairs and gondolas, allowing you to get up the mountain and access the trails.
- One pass for 5 bike parks
The Portes du Soleil is so large that you may think you need multiple passes; thankfully, it’s a unified bike park, so one pass will grant you access to the whole area.
That’s 5 bike parks in one pass:
1. Les Gets
2. Morzine
3. Avoriaz
4. Chatel
5. Dents du Midi Region (Switzerland).
You’ll likely be staying in the French side, which is all connected. But it’s good to know if you fancy organising yourself a day trip!
- Price
A lift pass for an adult, 26-64 years, is €34 per day or €137 for 4 days (as per the online prices at the time of writing). There are different price options for different age categories and some special offers, so always check online in advance. These are guideline prices only.
Check out this link for more information:
www.lesgets.com/en/lift-pass/summer-lift-pass-prices/
Bikes
*NOT INCLUDED- you’ll need to bring your own bike or hire locally*
- What Type of Bike Will I Need?
Since Les Gets is a lift-accessed bike park you don’t need to do an ounce of uphill pedalling if you don’t want to (apart from maybe a bit of undulation on the trails). Downhill bikes are most suited to the more technical trails, but there is so much variety it would probably be hard to bring the wrong bike.
Enduro bikes and trail bikes will be absolute fine on all the trails here, and an XC bike would be okay on the easier trails and single track routes, but we would not recommend XC bikes for the bike park flow and tech trails.
Heather has a trail bike that she brings just to give you an indication, or if you’re unsure whether yours is up to it!
- Bike Hire
Don’t want to bring your bike? Hiring a bike in Les Gets can range from anywhere between €60 and €150 per day with a huge variety of bikes and specs on offer. There are also deals and offers that run throughout the summer, so it’s worth noting that this is a guideline price.
The fastest way to travel to Les Gets is to fly, but it’s not the only way:
Arriving by Plane
Geneva Airport (GVA) is only an hours’ drive away from Les Gets, and there are multiple flights throughout the day to and from airports all over the UK.
- Getting From the Airport to Resort:
The best and quickest way to get to Les Gets from Geneva is to drive. There are multiple transfer companies that operate all summer long. To find these companies just google ‘Les Gets transfers’ and you’ll be able to find endless options.
Or you can email one of our partners here for a transfer quote.
You could hire a car and self drive your way to resort - we’ve plenty of parking at the chalet! You can hire a car from the airport or in Geneva (theres a train from the airport to the city centre.
You can also catch the train from Geneva airport to Thonon-les-Bains and then catch the bus from Thonon to Les Gets- but please check the schedules and times of both before you choose this as an option.
There are more budget friendly options like buses and ride-sharing, but these are not always the most reliable options.
UK to France by Car
Driving from the UK is a great way to travel and can be turned into an adventure in its own right. We would recommend breaking the journey up with an overnight stay somewhere around the Dijon or Reims area, but for the hardcore drivers out there, it absolutely can be done in one hit - just try and time it so you get here in time for dinner!
There is free parking directly outside the chalet.
UK to France By Train
From the UK, you can take the Eurostar to France. From your French stop (usually Paris or Lille Europe) you can get the train all the way to Thonon-les-Bains (not direct), which is about 45 minutes outside of Les Gets. This is a great option for those looking to travel in an eco-friendly way and can be combined with stays in new places for a fun adventure. From Thonon there is a bus to Les Gets- but please check the schedules and times of both before you choose this as an option.
