FAQs
Arrival - How do I get to Les Get?
The village of Les Gets is less than half an hour from the Autoroute Blanche motorway, making it quick and easy to reach the resort.
Les Gets is about an hour's drive, depending on snow conditions, from Geneva Airport. From Geneva Airport, you can either take a transfer or hire a car.
The nearest station is in Cluses, from where you can take a SAT bus. Please check the bus route available for the period of your stay.
Arrival - What if I want to have a late arrival?
Do not worry, you will receive the codes by text message to access the accommodation independently as soon as the property is ready.
Arrival - What is the Check-in process?
Check-in is from 4.30 pm. As soon as the property is ready, you will receive a text message confirming your arrival in Les Gets, followed by all the access codes. Please ensure that the telephone number provided on your booking is the one you will be using in Les Gets. Your property may be ready a little earlier, but we cannot guarantee this in advance. Please wait until you receive the text message.
If you would like a physical welcome, please let us know at least 5 days before your arrival; otherwise, you will be arriving independently.
You will find all the information you need about accessing your property in the manual, available once you have made your pre-booking in the customer dashboard.
Booking - Can I put a chalet on hold?
You may place an option on a property for 48 hours.
Payment of a 30% deposit (if booking more than 8 weeks before arrival) or payment in full (if booking less than 8 weeks before arrival) will confirm the booking.
If payment is not received within 48 hours, the booking will be automatically cancelled from our system. You will automatically receive an email confirming that the booking has been cancelled.
If necessary, we can sometimes extend the option by an additional 24 or 48 hours. Please contact us.
Booking - How do I make a booking?
You can make a booking via our online booking system by selecting your dates of stay.
If you confirm your choice, a 48-hour pre-booking will be created to give you time to think about it and then make the payment that will confirm your booking:
- Bookings made more than 8 weeks prior to arrival: 30% deposit
- Reservations made less than 8 weeks prior to arrival: 100% of the total amount
You can pay the deposit directly when you create your booking, by logging into your account or using the link in the email you received when you created the booking.
If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to telephone us during office hours.
Booking - How do I pay?
Two payment options:
- Online payment: allowing immediate confirmation of your booking (highly recommended)
- Payment by bank transfer: This may take longer to be received by the agency. It is therefore advisable to ensure that the 48-hour deadline has not passed before your payment is received to avoid automatic cancellation by our system.
Booking - How much do I need to pay to confirm the booking
For bookings made more than 8 weeks prior to arrival: a 30% deposit is payable within 48 hours of making the pre-booking.
For bookings made less than 8 weeks prior to arrival: the full amount is due to confirm the booking.
Booking - If I forget to pay the deposit and I get an e-mail saying my reservation has been cancelled, how do I re-instate this?
If the requested amount has not been paid within 48 hours, our booking system will automatically cancel your pre-booking.
You will receive an email stating that the pre-booking has been cancelled.
However, if you still wish to make a booking and the property is still available, the quickest way is to return to the website and rebook the accommodation. If our office is open, please contact us, and we can reactivate the cancelled pre-booking with a single click.
Booking - Short Stays or Flexible Dates - How does this work ?
Most of our chalets and apartments are booked from Saturday to Saturday during the winter season. In summer, stays are possible from 4 nights onwards, and you are free to arrive and depart whenever you wish.
However, some accommodations may offer short stays or flexible stays during the winter. These periods generally cover the months of January, March, and April (excluding holiday periods, Christmas and New Year's Eve, and February school holidays). They are not offered by default; we announce them based on bookings.

- No money is charged unless damage is reported after your stay
- The hold is automatically released within 30 days
- If there is any issue, we will contact you before taking any action
This process saves time at check-in and ensures a smoother arrival experience.
