Les Gets

Les Gets is a pretty mountain village twinned with Morzine, nestling high up in the heart of the Portes du Soleil. It offers a dizzying variety of activities that include all sorts of sporting pursuits and cultural goodies for visiting alpinists and active families. Its chalet-style architecture appeals to everyone and its centre thrums with life as visitors enjoy its many bars, cafes and shops.

Les Gets is blessed with an abundance of lush mountain scenery, rivers, forests, waterfalls and even its own lake. It means the village is stacked full of activities that’ll keep the whole family entertained, and it’ll be sure to keep you coming back for more. As the many British ex-pat locals say: “It’s the winter (skiing) that brought us here, but the summers that made us stay”

Les Gets is a huge, lush outdoor playground which teams stunning scenery and a sunny climate with the largest network of lifts and trails for bikers and walkers in the Alps. Discover world-class bike trails, white water pursuits, rock climbing, canyoning, adventure parks and family fun from dawn ‘til dusk. You name it… it’s got it all covered!

        About Les Gets

        Linked to neighbouring sister resort Morzine, Les Gets is part of the beautiful Portes du Soleil region, which means ‘Gateway to the Sun’. It has a lovely lake near to our hotel (for swimming, sunbathing and kids activities) and a vast array of walking and biking trails (1000 Km’s) served by 25 lifts which span the Franco-Swiss border.

        You could spend weeks exploring this alpine wonderland and discovering new and exciting trails and activities every day. Les Gets has a slightly quieter atmosphere to Morzine, but enjoys access to all the same activities. It has a great family vibe and lots of cultural (not-so-active) things to do for families. Also expect plenty of bars, cafes and shops on a par with Morzine.

            Where is it?

            Morzine is just an hour from Geneva airport and situated right in the heart of the beautiful Portes du Soleil. It is one of the premier summer alpine destinations and doubles as one of Europe’s premier ski destinations by Winter.

            For Self Drives: Les Gets enjoys a southern location about 8 hours’ drive south-east of Calais and 6 hours south of Paris. It’s an easy drive down. Our holidays start on a Sunday, so many guests enjoy a stopover on the way.

            The Activities

            With over 80 activities on offer, Les Gets is a popular destination for all tastes. Our holidays come with more than enough free activities for your week away; like white water rafting, guided walks, mountain biking, paddle boarding and access to the excellent WiBit water based obstacle course in Les Gets’ very own lake. Also perfect for wild swimming, long and relaxing lunches and kids fun and games.

            Our free Active Packs will keep you busy enough, but if you’ve got any spare time the area is renowned for its Via Ferrata, Canyoning, Parapenting and horse riding.

            Mountain & Road Biking

            The Alps are famous for their mountain biking and Les Gets (along with Morzine) is the number one bike destination in Europe! You have access to 25 lifts and nearly 1000 Km’s of trails, so you’ll never have to spend time pushing your bike uphill, when you could be flying down the other way! Les Gets is also a mecca for road bikers and regularly hosts a stage of the Tour de France, so expect many great road-rides for all levels of fitness.

            Come and sample some of the best and most extensive bike terrain in Europe: from awe inspiring Cross Country routes through forests and along high mountain paths; to the bike parks and Downhill courses with their banks, berms, jumps and drops, (for more confident riders!).

            Families and beginners If you’re a beginner or family, then fear not, Morzine has got you covered! It’s the perfect place to learn to ride high mountain trails (using the lifts) and you can experience the thrill of taking a gondola lift to the top and riding downhill all the way, choosing the easy-graded, and well marked, green trails!

            Child & Family

            Les Gets is a great spot for the family who wants to explore the mountains in summer with lots of family activities and biking for families. It has a great family vibe and plenty of (not-so-active) cultural things to do for families. Only an hour from the airport also means no lengthy, excitement-sapping transfers!

            The Alps are made for families to share activities together, but when parents need a breather our Active Kids Club for 4-16 year olds are open five days a week. We offer free half-day sessions of club - which is just enough time to give you some well-earned time to unwind while your youngsters can make new friends and tire themselves out trying fun activities run by our Active Kids Club Leaders.
