SUMMER


                                                                      


                                                   Summer

 

In the Summer, the region transforms into 450kms of mountain bike trails, downhill courses and hiking routes. With the lifts modified to carry mountain bikes and operating from June to September.

The River Dranse flows through the region making its way from Morzine to Lake Geneva and is renowned for hosting numerous water based activities - including white water rafting, kayaking, hydrospeeding and canyoning. The lake itself provides the perfect setting for water skiing, wind surfing and sailing or just a leisurely stroll.

In addition to the usual activities that are associated with mountain resorts, Les Gets is centrally located to visit a wide variety of charming villages, such as the spa town of Evian and the medieval village of Yvoire, historic tours, vineyards and a championship golf course are all within a comfortable journey from the village. Discover beautiful Alpine pastures, magnificent lakes and waterfalls and immerse yourself in real French country living

 



Summer activities


Mountain Biking - In the summer, Les Gets hosts many downhill  mountain biking events. There are two distinct downhill mountain bike areas, one on each side of the village. The downhill mountain bike run on Mt Chéry has been used in the  Mountain Bike World Cups in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and in the  Mountain Bike World Championships in 2004.

There also are downhill gokarts and scooters if you want to try something different.

Swimming – The crystal clear swimming lake with shallow beaches are just a short walk from the chalet. There is a life guard on duty making it a safe place to spend a relaxing day with your family enjoying the sun.  See details on the Multipass for great savings on this attraction.

Rafting
This is a good white knuckle ride and the Arve (Chamonix) and the Giffre (at Morillon/Samoens) are popular local rivers. Further a field are the excellent Dranse (between Morzine and Lake Leman) and, in Italy, the terrifying Dora Baltea.

Adventure Park – This is the place to start your training to become a crack Commondo, or a great place to let the children lose to safely try their hand at whizzing through the air.

Tennis – Les Gets has several hard courts, and lessons cost  about €10 per hour.   See details on the Multipass for great savings on this attraction.

Hiking, climbing, walking – The village is surrounded by beautiful scenery and there is no better place to be than the Alps in the Summer. We have a wide variety of guided walks/hikes to suit all levels.  For more serious climbing, we can organise a local guide to take you out into the mountains.
