Activities in Les Gets

Mont Chéry 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.

Ten to twenty minutes is the time it will take you to fly over Les Gets from the summit of Mont Chéry. 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 Fruitière des Perrières cheese dairy.

This local institution can be visited by appointment at certain times of the year.

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.

There is nothing more enjoyable than being able to see for yourself the conditions under which the cheese you eat is produced.

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?

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.

The lakes, rivers, waterfalls and gorges of Chablais offer a breathtaking natural setting for your hikes.

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.
