Hi Guys,
I'm off to Les Gets this weekend - do I need to order my ski pass online before I go(I don't possess a top-up card)?
There isn't much information on line and it's a bit contradictory depending what sites I look at.....some say 3 days in advance if you don't have a passcard already but others imply that I can just rock up and get a pass.
Any knowledge you can impart would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'm sure you can get a pass at the base station.
If you are staying in a chalet the owners will often get them for you as they take a commission.
If you find a discounted one on line then I guess the 3 days is to allow for delivery to you. This may be longer if it has to be posted to the UK.

Thanks Andy.
Chalet owners are UK based so no luck there and yes it does state 3 days for discount passes but keepes referring to pass cards...I'm sure it won't be an issue but I have lessons booked so have a finite window to get my pass - last minute as ever!
Fingers crossed time.
Thanks

There's no need to get lift passes in advance - it takes no longer than buying say a train ticket or cinema ticket. I've not been to Les Gets for a few years, but I always used to go to the tourist information office when I arrived in resort (if it was before closing time)& buy one there ready for the following day. They were also available near the gondola so you could buy one immediately before skiing - get there early to avoid any possible queues. There is a small charge for the hands free passes - usually about 3 euros, but they can be kept & reused on subsequent visits.
I went to Les Gets in January of the no-snow year in 2007. They officially closed the resort the day after we arrived,& we had to go to Avoriaz every day to ski. Had I pre-ordered a Les Gets/Morzine pass it would have been useless & I would have had the hassle of trying to get my money back.
Have a great time!

The plan is.... there's no plan!

You can buy a lift pass when you are there and it will cost just the same as buying in advance online.

We kept our Les Gets cards so we're set to save a whopping €6 when we go back next month! Queue was about 5 minutes max though.
Have a great time and let me know what the snow's like when you get back!
