A Stress-free Summer in Les Gets

Not all chalet holidays have to be a whirlwind of adventure. For those who prefer a tranquil, stress-free vacation then Les Gets may be the destination for you.

You can see stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains by trekking up them but, if this seems like too much exertion for you, then you might want to consider a game of golf on the 18-hole golf course. The views from the course are equally dramatic, with a little less effort. There is also a mini golf course if you fancy a quicker game.

If you’re attracted to the water then you might think about heading down to the nearby swimming lake, which is supervised by a life guard. As well as the beach, you’ll find a waterslide, beach volleyball courts and a children’s playground.

If even this seems like too much effort then you might consider popping in to the local beauty salon, which offers pampering massages and face treatments.

Les Gets is also home to the Museum of Mechanical Music, which is open every day year round. The village hosts a festival of Mechanical Music every two years in July, with the next taking place in 2012.

In the evenings, you could relax in your chalets in Les Gets or head out for the night instead. You might think about visiting one of the many pubs or you could take a stroll around the village taking in the antics of the street performers. If you enjoy music, then you may consider enjoying one of the regular open-air concerts.

For a completely fuss-free holiday, you might want to consider booking catered chalets in Les Gets so that you don’t have to spend time cooking meals during your day.
