Les Gets A Picturesque Alpine Village

The Alpine resort of Les Gets is a great centre for summer activity holidays with walkers, mountain bikers and families enjoying the whole host of activities Les Gets itself, Mont Chery and the surrounding area has to offer. For an idea of just how much there is to do and whether this year you should take a break from the beach and try something different, have a look at our activities page.

The town itself is very typically Alpine, lots of wooden chalets and hotels decked out with hanging baskets of flowers and eating and drinking is enjoyed outdoors while lapping up the summer sun. There is a good selection of sports and gifts shops, creperies, patisseries and restaurants as well as the local weekly market.

The town also has a man made swimming lake with floating raft, jetty and slide (there are life guards during July & August) and it is surprisingly warm at an average temperature of 22 degrees in July and August. Next to the lake there is a ropes course through the trees with tarzan nets, death slides and such like suitable for adults and kids alike.

An excellent way to see the village is from the air so why not take a tandemparapente and fly off the top of Mont Chery strapped to an instructor of course and enjoy the views of Mont Blanc massif and the village and surrounding mountains.

Les Gets is also a great base for exploring the region, Geneva, Chamonix, Evian and Annecy are all within an hour and a half's drive away.

Adrenaline Rush?

For those after a bit of an adrenaline rush try the devil karts (go karting down the Chavannes pistes) or mountain boarding, similar to snow boarding but on the grass.
