Les Gets Information & Webcams
Winter
In winter Les Gets is a traditional ski resort with excellent local skiing, yet unspoilt by large scale developments. Its geographical position at 1172m in the mountain pass gives it a snow record which compares favourably with higher ski resorts. The village lies between the two mountains of Mont Chery and Les Chavannes, and it is possible to ski down to the village on both sides of the valley throughout most of the winter season.
The resort is known to stay open when many are closed due to a huge investment in a system of snow cannons and of course the hard work of Les Gets's piste maintenance team. Les Gets is part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest linked ski systems with 14 resorts and over 600km of piste.
Summer
In summer, Les Gets offers a wide range of local activities including walking, mountain biking, parapenting, whitewater rafting, devalkarting, swimming and many more.
The crystal clear swimming lake with its shallow shingle beaches and life guard watch provides a picturesque and safe place to spend a lazy day in the sun. Refreshements and toilet facilities are on site.
For those who want more exitement, in the woods close by is the Adventure Park with aerial slides, cargo nets, rope walkways and a bungee jump.On the other side of the lake, Le Poney Club du Lac offers a more sedate way of spending the day.
The bottom of Les Chavannes in the centre of town offers "devalkarts", (downhill gokarts!) trottinherbe (downhill scooters!), trampolining, and mini bungee.
Dont forget that Les Gets has endless mountain walks featuring spectacular mountainous views and pretty alpine woodlands and meadows.
If all this is not enough try parapenting, canyoning, rock climbing, via ferrata or white water rafting.
Les Gets is a renowned VTT (mountain biking) resort. Choose from the hair raising downhill runs or picturesque marked mountain trails. The VTT World Championships were held in Les Gets in September 2004, putting the village on the world VTT map. Since then, an extra lift is being run in the summer on Mont Chery giving access to a special Kona sponsored "bike park".
Les Gets has its own 18 hole golf course in a fabulous setting facing Mont Blanc with very reasonable green fees by the day or week. Of course, their are several 19th holes to choose from!
