Summer brings a different kind of energy, with weekly markets, cultural festivals, and local performances filling the streets. The mountains are alive too, with mountain biking events, including the renowned annual Pass’Portes du Soleil, attracting riders from afar, family-friendly races, and plenty of opportunities to watch or join in.
There’s something for everyone, from kids’ treasure hunts and playgrounds to more adventurous outdoor activities. The village is compact and easy to explore, so you can catch the action without missing a thing.

Les Gets is a traditional mountain village in the French Alps with a past shaped by forestry, farming and cheese making. Its name comes from old Savoyard words for the channels once used to slide timber down from the forests and for centuries life here revolved around the land. Things changed in 1936 when the first ski lift, the Boule de Gomme, opened and skiing slowly took over from logging. Today Les Gets still holds on to its Alpine character while welcoming visitors year round for skiing, biking and mountain adventures.
Les Gets offers a mix of local culture, history and traditions to discover during your stay.
