ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN LES GETS
Whether you prefer to be on the mountain or in the village, Les Gets has a wealth of activities on offer.
Indoor Activities
There are an abundance of shops in Les Gets, catering for both locals and visitors alike. You’ll find a great mix of ski shops, clothing stores, and gift shops, along with traditional Alpine shops offering local produce like Genepi and Tomme de Savoie cheese. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of cafés serving modern options like flat whites and cappuccinos with alternative milk choices, beyond the usual café au lait and espresso.
For those looking for something a little quirkier, however, head to the intriguing Mechanical Music Museum, a one-of-a-kind attraction. For those looking for more familiar things to do, there’s also a bowling alley and a cinema, which shows some English-language films. If you'd prefer to relax the resort's spas such as Source de Chery, offer the perfect place to unwind.
Outdoor Activities
Whilst you can find the usual alternative skiing activities on offer, such as winter hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing and telemarking, you can also hit the slopes in a different way. Try your hand at snow e-biking or slide down the mountain on a snooc, yooner or snowscoot- no ski or snowboard experience required.
If you fancy something a bit more high speed then have a go electric snowmobiling or dog sledding. For those wanting something to really get the adrenaline pumping try tandem paragliding and take in the views of the stunning Mont Blanc mountain range.
You don’t have to travel outside the village to get in some outdoor fun, you’ll find an open air ice skating rink in the village centre, or head over to the Perrieres car park to try out the 4 seasons alpine roller coaster. The course is 1100 meters long with a 104 meter drop in altitude, and you can hit speeds up to 40 km an hour!
Les Gets offers five designated and secure sledging slopes specifically for children, so even young mountain adventurers can enjoy some non-skiing fun.
For a unique adventure, Alta Lumina is a must-visit. Embark on an enchanting night walk through the forest, unlike anything you've experienced before. This 1km journey offers a fully immersive storytelling experience with captivating lights and music. It's a truly magical experience that both adults and children can enjoy.
Still got some energy? Head to FitLife in the village centre for a classic gym session or join one of their classes. Perhaps yoga is more your thing? Whether you're looking for a high-energy vinyasa flow or a slower-paced yin practice to stretch out tired muscles, Mountain Expl'Aura and Keolan Yoga have you covered.
