Les Gets is situated on the col between Taninges and Morzine, at the western edge of the Portes du Soleil ski area.

These include tartiflette, a dish of potatoes "au gratin" with reblochon cheese and lardons.

A traditional liqueur, génépi, is also often drunk as a digestif, although the exact constitution of this medicinal drink varies as many residents produce their own.

Live bands regularly perform on the semi-permanent stage in the centre of the village, attracting both locals and tourists.

Lift passes can be purchased for Les Gets and the neighbouring area of Morzine, or for the wider Portes du Soleil.

There are several spots for off-piste skiing and snowboarding, including to the sides of 'Yeti', the long black run off Chamossiere and one a short hike from the top of the Ranfoilly lift.

The snowpark has kickers, a spine, rails, boxes, a boarder cross and new for 2007–08 was a large air bag.

The main company operating in the area is ESF (L'Ecole du Ski Francais), which has a building situated at the foot of the slopes, adjacent to Les Gets Village itself.
