Walking Holidays in Les Gets French Alps

Use the chairlifts

Walkers can also you the chair lifts which operate through the peak summer weeks. These has the great advantage of whisking you up the mountain at speed taking you straight to the great views. From there you can start your walk, there are many trails leading off from the top of the lifts.

Serious about your walking?

For those looking for more of a challenge you can then climb up above to one of the many peaks above. The higher paths offer some wonderful vistas, indeed in some locations you can see Mont Blanc on one side and Lake Geneva on the other. There's no shortage of challenging day hikes for the more experienced hiker.

The Plateau de Loëx is a Natura 2000 protected area, comprising of three localities (Les Gets, Taninges and Verchaix) and extending over an area of more than 3000 acres. The ambition of this network of ecological sites is to preserve biological diversity and enhance the natural heritage of the territories.

Take this family-friendly loop (one of our favourite!), and discover a route in the heart of wild landscapes and exceptional natural habitats, through forest tracks and pastures, passing by the Chapel of Jacquicourt. Beautiful views of the Col de Joux Plane, the Pointe de Chamossière and Pointe de la Bourgeoise await you!
