Les Gets

What Les Gets does

Les Gets is a French Alpine resort operated by the Office de Tourisme des Gets, a public municipal tourist office based in Les Gets, Haute-Savoie, France. The resort functions as the gateway to the Franco-Swiss Portes du Soleil ski domain, one of Europe's largest interconnected ski and mountain bike areas spanning France and Switzerland. Its core product portfolio is dual-season: a Ski Experience comprising lift passes, equipment hire, ski school, and ski holidays; and a Bike Experience anchored by Bikepark Les Gets, which the operator markets as Europe's largest bikepark with over 128km of marked mountain bike trails for all skill levels.

The underlying technology is a digital platform for resort management, online lift pass sales (pass.lesgets.com), accommodation reservations (reservation.lesgets.com), and visitor information services including live webcams, weather forecasts, and interactive maps. Complementary products include the Multi Pass (a subscription bundling access to 12 stations and 70+ activities), Gets'Lib bike sharing, family services with childcare, an 18-hole golf course, well-being/spa services, and a year-round event calendar headlined by the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.

The business model combines direct lift pass sales (recurring, seasonal), accommodation booking commissions, equipment rental referrals, and event hosting revenue, distributed via a direct-to-consumer go-to-market through the official website, physical tourist office, organic social media (Instagram #lesgets), email newsletter, and live events. Customers are segmented by use case (winter sports enthusiasts, mountain bikers, families, outdoor adventurers) rather than by enterprise contract, making the model high-volume, low-ticket B2C tourism. The entity is government-owned and operates as part of the Portes du Soleil consortium, with no venture, private equity, or corporate parent ownership identified.
