Whatever the weather or season, Les Gets is full of sports, leisure, educational or cultural activities to spend unforgettable moments with your loved ones. Here are some ideas to enhance your stay in one of our chalets or flats in Les Gets.
Mont Chery is a well-known summit in Les Gets, France and one can walk there to enjoy the exceptional panorama of the Mont-Blanc massif. The route from Mont Caly is not complicated, which makes this hike a family activity par excellence. The youngest must not, however, escape the vigilance of their parents because the slopes are steep in the area.
The Nyon canyon, an excellent natural playground, extends a whole range of jumps, abseils, natural slides, and even a siphon. You could not dream of any better in the region! And the icing on the cake is the descent of the canyon that ends with a 22 m waterfall, a natural local attraction. Suitable for all levels, canyoning in Nyon is practised from June to September. Allow 3 hours for this highly refreshing activity.
Ten to twenty minutes is the time it will take you to fly over Les Gets from the summit of Mont Chery. You won't have to do anything except enjoy the view, all while being securely attached to the monitor. If you want a more sporty version, you can find what you look for in the Flight Thrills. Paragliding flights are also filmed to give you a memory of the crazy flight.
It would be criminal to stay in the pioneering Mountain Bike resort and not try the largest Bikepark in Europe and its 128 km of marked trails. Anyone can give it a go. As with skiing, green, blue, red and black slopes allow everyone to evolve in an environment adapted to their level. You have to choose your discipline between downhill, cross-country, freestyle, freeride and e-bike.
Tomme des Gets, with wild garlic or cumin; Abondance; Raclette; and other Saveur des Gets are first produced at the La Fruitiere des Perrieres cheese dairy. They are then sold in the shops and markets and served at the tables of the house's restaurant. For over a century, La Fruitiere has been the authority in Les Gets regarding cheeses. This local institution can be visited by appointment at certain times of the year.
A fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavours combined in refined and refreshing dishes offers you a peppy alternative to the Savoyard specialities de rigueur in the region. The place is trendy, and customers do not fail to point out the quality of the food and the hospitality. It feels good, and diners come back. It sure is a must-try restaurants that count in Les Gets.
A drastic selection of the best local products, advice and choice are the key to the success of Le Sled. A family of passionate farmers runs this delicatessen. Audrey and Damien are stepping up initiatives to meet all requests: home delivery, self-service distribution 24/7, and online stores make it possible to continue to stock up on Savoyard cold meats, cheeses and wines in all circumstances.
If you are looking for a restaurant in Les Gets that will suit all guests, you have found it in La R'Mize. This restaurant located next to the church in the old village offers unmissable Savoyard specialities and gourmet dishes. Regulars know that they will find a divine risotto with Abondance cheese and scallops, the signature dish of the chef and owner.
From the end of June to August, the Wibit Park takes up its summer quarters on the school lake. An aqua-fun course comprises around forty elements, and the park is divided into two zones: one for those over 1.20m alternated with a giant slide, climbing wall, human catapult, obstacles and cages. The other is reserved for 5 to 8-year-olds and offers modules adapted to the youngest for an equally fun and risk-free practice.
The little holidaymakers make the rules and are entitled to the best toboggan in Les Gets, where the fields contain four slopes dedicated to kids under 6, and a fifth reserved for older children. Everything has been thought out to ensure the safety of children with delimited marked trails and gentle slants of 25 to 100 m, depending on the age group. All that remains is for parents to make sure their little one is wearing their helmet correctly.
If you are over 12 years old and enjoy hiking, you are the ideal candidate for a cani-rando from Les Gets. This form of hiking is practised in summer as in winter on snow. Harnessed to a sledge dog, you will progress at a great pace on a circuit that takes you an hour to two of walking. Children are linked to the same dog as their parents to be incomplete safety with their valiant companion.
The Mountain E-Park is the first French electric snowmobile park and welcomes budding pilots to its various sites. In Les Gets and Avoriaz, practice is reserved for 5-17-year-olds, while in Megeve, it is also open to adults. Children will learn the basics of piloting a snowmobile on a closed circuit from the 15-minute initiation over one hour. At the finish line, braking, trajectory and acceleration will hold no secrets for them.
Day and evening from mid-April to December, the outdoor ice rink in Les Gets revitalise the village's heart. Some will enjoy skating in the sun while others will prefer to go there after having a great day of hitting the slopes. Once a month, the rink also organises an Ice Party evening to bring a festive atmosphere to this family activity. It welcomes children from the age of 5.
Daughters of an artist and a goatherd, Anouk and Nathalie, inherited the passion of their two parents. It is only natural that they organise pottery workshops near their sheepfold where the sheep live in winter. Both spaces can be visited by reservation. The two sisters also organise introductory courses in modelling and turning for those who would like to make their first stoneware pieces.
From May to October, the Portes du Soleil Ranch organised walks of 2 or 3 hours supervised by a qualified equestrian tourism guide to discover the mountain in a different way. The goal is to take advantage of the height given by the horses to admire the local flora and fauna. The most seasoned riders can embark on a day hike in the middle of the mountains facing Mont Blanc, which an instructor always accompanies.
There is nothing more enjoyable than being able to see for yourself the conditions under which the cheese you eat is produced. At the Felires goat farm, access to the herd of 80 alpine chamoisee dairy goats is possible every day of the year from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. On this tour, you can learn about how the farmhouse cheeses sold on-site are made.
The 18-hole golf course in Les Gets provides a course on the edge of the forest where each hole is named after a surrounding peak. Which of the following will give you the most difficulty? Col Rati, Rochers de Graydon, Roc d'Enfer or Mont Chery. To find out, the technical information on the course is available on the golf website, which could also help you and your family prepare for your visit and make the most of this course built according to the movements of the land.
Les Gets offers you a unique spectacle during the summer holiday. Every evening, the forest lights up and invites you to experience a dream with your eyes wide open. An incredible journey into the mountains has been imagined. The story where a peddler takes off in a hot air balloon to share his enchanting melodies worldwide. You will follow his epic voyage on a one km long course where everything rivals in beauty and magic.
The lakes, rivers, waterfalls and gorges of Chablais offer a breathtaking natural setting for your hikes. On the other hand, it also serves well if you are looking for more stimulating activities such as Stand Up paddle, canoeing and swimming for the bravest. Classified as a World Geopark by Unesco, the Chablais is marked by its geological richness and landscapes, which alone are worth a detour. A gem not to be missed.
Every summer for three days, Les Gets turns into a massive space for meditation and well-being during the Festival of 100 Skies. Each edition is an opportunity for visitors to interact with practitioners and discover new disciplines through workshops in the heart of nature. The program leaves no one behind with activities for adults and children and individual treatments to vary the pleasures.
