Les Gets

Les Gets is an unspoilt alpine village, a ski resort in the winter and an activity sports paradise in the summer

Situated between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc in a picturesque valley a simple one hour transfer from Geneva airport or an 8 hour drive from the channel ports. Originally a purely farming community at the turn of the century the resort has grown into a delightful place to stay. It has no high rise purpose built buildings, only quaint Savoyarde style of architecture.

There is a weekly traditional market selling locally produced produce, cheeses, meats, smoked hams etc and hand made gifts . Local shops range from smart boutiques to sports shops and gift shops. You'll find a wide range of restaurants from smart to cheap and cheerful pizza bars. Les Gets has it all.
