The numbers behind the move

Why Americans move to Les Gets.

Four numbers buyers check before they commit, safety, population, price per m² and healthcare, with the French average beside each so you can see where Les Gets genuinely stands.

Read the four columns together. With 1,227 residents, Les Gets is too small for rates to mean much, so the police publish a single count: 36 thefts without violence recorded in 2025, down 52% since 2016, with the other indicators too small to release. A resort count also includes the visitors who outnumber residents in season. Price is the other half: a notarised apartment median of €6,759 per m² in 2025 sits below Paris and below the Mont Blanc resorts, for a chalet village with a school and a medical centre open all year, a hospital about 45 minutes away and Geneva airport close by.

That combination, a family village on a sunny col with the Portes du Soleil on one side and Mont Chéry on the other, is what brings American buyers to Les Gets rather than to a bigger, louder resort. What the numbers cannot tell you is which side of the village, which slope and which building, and that street-level choice is the part we handle in person.

Sources: safety figures from the SSMSI, the statistics service of the French Ministry of the Interior (2025 data, published June 2026), identical to those in our Les Gets safety guide. Population: INSEE legal population. Prices: SeLoger (January 2026) and Meilleurs Agents (1 October 2026). Rents: ANIL 2025. The healthcare figure is our own editorial rating out of 10, based on the presence of a university teaching hospital, the breadth of specialist cover and how easily English-speaking care is found; it is not a published statistic.

Why Les Gets

Les Gets Real Estate: A Family Resort That Lives in Two Seasons

The buyer we meet in Les Gets is almost always a family: parents who want their children to learn to ski on gentle, sunny slopes, ride the bike park in July and walk to the bakery alone, in a village where the chalets are timber and the church bells still mark the hours. Les Gets sits on a col between Morzine and Taninges, with its own ski area on Mont Chéry and the Chavannes slopes linking into the Portes du Soleil, and with 1,227 permanent residents it keeps a school, a medical centre and a market open all year. The British adopted it decades ago and remain the largest foreign community. Summer has become as important as winter, with mountain-bike world cup rounds, a swimming lake and the Museum of Mechanical Music giving the village a life of its own when the snow is gone.

The housing stock is low, wooden and spread across the two sides of the col. In the village centre, along the main street between the church and the Chavannes gondola, old chalets and small residences hold apartments within a walk of everything. Mont Chéry, on the opposite slope, has chalets with the sunniest exposure and views across to the Portes du Soleil, served by its own gondola. La Turche, at the Morzine end of the village, gathers chalets around a quieter lift, while Les Perrières, at the Taninges end, holds newer chalets and residences around their own gondola. Daily life means the weekly market, a swim at the Lac des Écoles in summer, a morning on Mont Chéry when the main area is busy, and the short drive to Morzine or Lake Geneva.

How it works

How we run your Les Gets real estate project.

One English-speaking team takes your Les Gets project from the first search to the keys, and keeps running it long after. Montclair handles the advisory and the buying, Ynspir handles the renovation.

01

Find

We leverage our local network to provide U.S. buyers with privileged access to on and off-market Les Gets real estate, from apartments near the Chavannes gondola to family chalets on the Mont Chéry slope, ensuring you see properties that align with your specific criteria.

02

As your trusted representative, we navigate the complexities of the French purchasing process on your behalf. From the ‘compromis de vente’ to the final ‘acte authentique,’ we manage all legal and administrative steps with precision and clarity.

03

04

Manage

For investors or part-time residents, we offer a complete property management service. This includes tenant sourcing, rent collection, and ongoing maintenance, providing you with a seamless, passive ownership experience from abroad.

Buyer’s agent

How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Les Gets?

A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Les Gets, where the best chalets pass between the local agencies and their British regulars before any portal sees them, and where asking prices are written for a clientele that rarely knows which slope gets the afternoon sun, that independence is the difference between paying fair value and paying the seller’s optimism.

It begins with a search mandate. Rather than a form, we start with a long conversation: what the home is for and in which seasons, whether you walk to the Chavannes gondola or drive to La Turche, the afternoon sun that separates Mont Chéry from the village side, the walk to the church and the weekly market, the drive to Cluses station or to Geneva airport, the school, and the real budget once notaire fees, copropriété charges and works are honestly accounted for. From that we write a precise brief and agree the perimeter, the village centre, Mont Chéry, La Turche, Les Perrières and the hamlets on the road to Morzine, before a single property reaches your inbox.

Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across the Haut-Chablais and the Giffre: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who hold inventory, private sellers, and syndics who know which apartments are about to come to market. We cross-check every candidate against the national DVF database of notarised sales to know the real value for the slope, not the brochure price. You receive short, curated selections with our honest verdict on each, floor plans and video walk-throughs filmed on site. We view on your behalf and flag the deal-breakers: damp, a roof tired by snow, a punishing DPE, a copropriété in difficulty, or a chalet in a torrent or avalanche hazard zone of the risk plan.

Because our Ynspir architects sit at the same table, a property that needs work is assessed for renovation before you offer, with a realistic budget and the PLU rules on timber facades, pitched roofs and volumes already factored in. When you decide, we build the offer file, negotiate on results and coordinate the compromis de vente and notaire in English. Found by Montclair, shaped by Ynspir, one mandate, your interest alone, from the first search to the finished home in Les Gets.

Your point of contact

We handled everything for your Real Estate Project in Les Gets

Buying in France from abroad is less about listings than about who stands on your side of the table. We are your independent buyer’s agent, paid on results and never by the seller, so every recommendation serves you alone. One English-speaking team runs the whole project on your time zone: Montclair finds and negotiates, Ynspir renovates, and we stay involved long after the keys. That single, accountable relationship, backed by real market data on every decision, is why American buyers trust us with their Les Gets project rather than going it alone.

An Architect’s Guide: Les Gets’s Key Neighbourhoods

Les Gets spreads along its col and up both slopes, each sector with its own architectural character and way of life. From the old chalets of the main street to the sunny slope of Mont Chéry and the newer residences of Les Perrières, the ideal location depends on whether you want the gondola at your door or the afternoon sun on your balcony. We provide granular insights to match you with the right street, not just the right resort.

Streets of Les Gets

Village centre

The heart of Les Gets along the main street, between the church and the Chavannes gondola, where old chalets and small residences hold apartments within a walk of the shops, the market and the ski school. It suits buyers who want to live without a car in winter and accept a busy street in season.

Mont Chéry

The slope facing the village, with its own gondola, the sunniest exposure and views across to the Portes du Soleil. Chalets here are larger and more private, and attract families who prize light and quiet over the bustle of the centre, a few minutes away by car or shuttle.

La Turche

At the Morzine end of the village, this sector gathers chalets around a quieter lift onto the Chavannes slopes, with easy ski access and a calmer evening. It suits skiing families who want the pistes close and the centre within a short walk or shuttle ride.

Les Perrières

At the Taninges end of the village, around its own gondola, Les Perrières holds newer chalets and residences with contemporary finishes and strong rental appeal. Buyers here want modern comfort and ski access, with the village a short walk or shuttle away.

Why buyers choose Les Gets

Why Les Gets for a Real Estate Project?

01

Built for Families

Gentle, sunny slopes, a village you can cross on foot, a swimming lake and a bike park make Les Gets one of the easiest resorts in the Alps for children. Families return every year, in winter and in summer, which keeps demand steady.


02

Two Seasons of Life

Summer in Les Gets is as busy as winter, with mountain-bike competitions, hiking and a village that keeps its shops and market open. A chalet here is used across the year, and rents in both seasons rather than for a few weeks.


03

Readable Market Indicators

With 100 notarised apartment sales in 2025 at a median of €6,759/m² and advertised rents averaging €15.8/m²/month, the market is active and transparent, priced below Paris for a village at the gate of the Portes du Soleil.


04

An Hour From Geneva

Geneva airport is about an hour and a quarter by road and Cluses station about 25 minutes, so a long weekend from the East Coast is realistic. Morzine, Avoriaz and Lake Geneva sit within easy reach for the day.

On the ground

Getting to Les Gets, and getting around.

Les Gets sits on a col at the western edge of the Portes du Soleil, in the Haut-Chablais of Haute-Savoie, between Morzine and Taninges. Geneva Airport (GVA) is about 1h15 by road via the A40 motorway and Cluses, whose station, about 25 minutes from the village, offers TER and some TGV services to Annecy, Lyon and Paris. The road from Cluses climbs through Taninges to the village. In the resort, free shuttles link the sectors to the gondolas in winter, and the centre is small enough to cross on foot.

Good to know

Les Gets real estate, the questions buyers ask.

Can Americans buy property in Les Gets?

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens, buying property in France, and Les Gets has welcomed international owners for decades. Our service manages the entire process for American buyers, from the search to the notaire, in English.

How do I know what a chalet really sold for?

Les Gets is covered by the national DVF database, which publishes every notarised sale with its price and surface. In a village with a limited number of transactions each year, we read it slope by slope and set each sale against the condition and position of the property before you offer.

What property taxes will I pay in Les Gets?

Owners pay the annual taxe foncière. Because most purchases here are second homes, the taxe d’habitation still applies to them, and resort communes may vote a surcharge. We give you a full breakdown of these taxes and of the copropriété charges before you commit.

Can a U.S. buyer get a French mortgage?

It is possible but demanding for non-residents, and lenders look closely at income, deposit and the seasonal nature of a resort purchase. We work with financial partners who specialise in international clients and present your file in the form French banks expect.

Does the sun really matter when choosing a chalet here?

More than anywhere. Les Gets sits on a col, and the Mont Chéry slope keeps the afternoon sun long after the village side is in shade in January. It changes how a chalet feels, what it costs to heat and how well it lets, so we visit candidates at different hours before you offer.

Can I build or extend a chalet in Les Gets?

Only within a PLU that imposes timber facades, pitched roofs and traditional volumes to protect the village, with limited land available. Our Ynspir architects read the rules for each plot before you offer, so you know what is possible and at what cost.

Is Les Gets a good place to rent out a chalet?

Yes, in both seasons: family demand in winter and the bike park in summer give the village a longer rental year than most resorts. Rentals must be declared to the town hall and some copropriétés restrict short lets, so we check the rules and model income before you buy.
