Summer
In summer Les Gets is renowned for its wide range of activities in breathtaking scenery including Hiking, Mountain biking/VTT, Parascending, Horse riding and Canyoning. Les Gets hosted the 2004 World Mountain Bike World Championships and is a regular venue on the professional circuit. Les Gets is only a short drive from Morzine, Avoriaz and the Grand Massif resorts. It is also only one hour’s drive from Geneva, Annecy, Chamonix and Mont Blanc and about two hours from Lyons.
In summer a car is recommended if you wish to access other areas e.g. Annecy and Chamonix but the local mountains and area can be accessed easily on foot and by lifts from village which open in summer. We can assist in recommending airport transfers. Geneva 1 hour away. Cluses for rail 22km away. To get into the village and lifts – which open for pedestrians and mountain bikes – from around June to early September – is a flat 10 minute walk.
The lounge opens out onto a panoramic and large south facing balcony ideal for sitting out and dining especially in summer. Underfloor heating in lounge, kitchen and dining area on ground floor. Efficient and responsive electric heating throughout. Ample hot water and electricity included in prices.

Also visit the Fantasticable at Chattel which can be reached by using a day lift pass to travel from Les Gets through Morzine to Chattel and return albeit with some hiking as well.
