March in Les Gets – A Skier’s Paradise

Explore why March is the perfect time to visit Les Gets! Enjoy mild weather, great snow, fewer crowds, and lower costs. Discover family-friendly activities and cultural events that make spring skiing unforgettable.

March in Les Gets – A Skier’s Paradise

March in Les Gets is an enticing time for ski enthusiasts and families alike, blending the last of winter's crisp snow with the mild, longer sunny days of early spring. This period offers quieter slopes, inviting village scenes, and a unique opportunity to enjoy the mountains without the peak season crowds.

Why March is Ideal for Skiing in Les Gets 

March offers some of the season’s most enjoyable skiing conditions, combining ample snowfall with warmer weather. Here’s what makes March in Les Gets so appealing:

  • Snow Conditions: Despite the approach of spring, the snow in Les Gets remains in great condition. The heavy snowfalls in early February often lead to a substantial snow base that lasts well into March, providing both quality and reliability for skiing. Adding to the late freezing in March, the potential for snow is still quite high.
  • Warmer Ski Days: As temperatures begin to rise, skiers can enjoy the slopes without the biting cold of mid-winter, making for a comfortable ski experience.

Budget-Friendly Skiing in March 

March is not only a fantastic time for skiing but also for enjoying cost savings that aren't available during the peak season:

  • Accommodation and Travel: As the demand decreases, so do the prices for flights, transfers, and accommodation. This is a great time for those looking for a deal on high-end chalets or apartments.
  • Discounts on Ski Essentials: Expect reductions in ski pass prices and equipment rentals. Our partners, such as Ski Mobile, offer convenient services like doorstep delivery of ski gear. Additionally, we facilitate ski pass purchases directly through our customer dashboard, simplifying your holiday planning.

March Skiing Tips

Maximize your skiing experience in March with these practical tips:

  • Best Time to Ski: Mornings tend to offer the best conditions, with the snow still firm from the overnight freeze. By afternoon, the slopes can become softer, which might be the perfect time for beginners to practice or for leisurely descents.
  • Appropriate Clothing: Layering remains key in March. Start with a base layer that wicks away moisture, add an insulating layer, and top it off with a waterproof outer layer. As the day warms, shedding a layer can keep you comfortable.

Non-Skiing Activities in March 

Les Gets offers more than just great skiing in March. The village and surrounding areas are bustling with activities:

  • Cultural Events: The village hosts various cultural and festive events that celebrate both local traditions and the incoming spring. These gatherings are perfect for families and offer a taste of local heritage.
  • Après-Ski and Dining: With the warmer weather, terraces become delightful spots to enjoy après-ski drinks or meals. The local cuisine shifts to slightly lighter fare, incorporating spring vegetables and local produce.

March is an exceptional month for family visits, with many tailored activities that cater to younger visitors:

  • Child-Friendly Ski Schools: Les Gets offers excellent ski schools that cater to children, ensuring they learn in a safe and fun environment. Our family-friendly skiing guide provides all the information you need to get your little ones on the slopes.
