Furthermore, Chalet Hôtel Blythe is equipped with a stunning rooftop terrace and cosy mezzanine lounge - the ideal place to enjoy an après-ski tipple with views of both the Chavannes and Mont Chéry slopes. Guests will also be treated to breakfast and dinners inspired by a passion for seasonal ingredients and a locally sourced wine list by Head Chef Peter Webster, who has over a decade's experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants, hotels, and country houses in the UK. 

Chalet Hôtel Blythe offers a complimentary ski butler service, providing assistance in arranging lift passes, ski pass bookings, beauty treatments and massages, slopeside picnics, ski lessons and more through its dedicated concierge service.

Ideally located between Lake Geneva and Mont-Blanc, just an hours' drive from Geneva Airport, the chalet hôtel sits proudly on the Route du Front de Neige, in the centre of Les Gets, just a short walk to the main lifts on the Chavannes side of the resort. All amenities and après ski activities are in walking distance, including an array of bars, restaurants, and shops. Les Gets offers a cross-border skiing paradise, with 286 pisted slopes across 650km of France and Switzerland, all accessible via 196 ski lifts.

As well as being situated in one of the most popular areas for British skiers, Les Gets transforms into an alpine wilderness offering world renowned mountain biking, hiking, water sports, rock climbing, and horse riding in the summer.
