Where to stay
There’s plenty of accommodation in the
village. It’s very French in Les Gets, more so
than its near neighbour Morzine (just a
couple of km away) but there are plenty of
hotels and numerous chalets and apartments
I stayed in an utterly gorgeous chalet in the
centre of town. And when I say gorgeous I’m
honestly not exaggerating. Called Urban
Corniche, a nod to the fact that it’s an
“urban” escape in the mountains and situated
right in the main hub of Les Gets, it had a hot
tub and sauna on the balcony. It had a grand
piano, its own bar and an indoor swing. A
pool table and chill out zone. The welcome
pack included Champagne and snacks. There
was ski/boot storage and plenty of room for
up to 10 people. It was luxurious, elegant and
sophisticated but so comfy. I felt pampered
and spoiled - and slept like a baby.
If you want special – you’ll absolutely get
that here. You know when you stay
somewhere and never want to leave. This is
one of those place. hunterchalets.com
Why go to Les Gets in the summer
Loads of activities, you’ll never be bored, and
perfect for families, even teens! Nature at its
best with spectacular scenery. Brilliant
wellness break with spas, cycling, hiking,
swimming and sports galore in the purest
mountain air. Friendly folk, fabulous for
foodies and seriously fun…
