In summer, Les Gets offers gentle, green mountains, ideal for family walks. From the village or the top of the lifts, the trails climb towards the pastures, Mont Chéry and the Portes du Soleil ridges, between forests and meadows. It’s accessible hiking, with fine panoramas over the Chablais and, in the distance, Mont Blanc.
Where to walk
Mont Chéry, opposite the village (reached on foot or by the summer gondola), offers a panoramic summit loop and pasture trails. On the Chavannes side, the summer-open lifts give access to the ridges and the links towards Morzine and the Portes du Soleil. Lower down, easy walks cross the pastures, farms and viewpoints. Themed and interpretation trails suit families well.
Booking
The trails are free to access; the summer-open gondolas shorten access to the ridges. For a guided outing — wildlife, plants, reading the landscape — call on the area’s mountain leaders.
Good to know
Season. June to September; the summer lifts ease access to altitude.
Level. From the easy pasture loop to the summit of Mont Chéry and the ridges: for everyone.
The panorama. From Mont Chéry, views of the Chablais, the Dents Blanches and Mont Blanc in the distance.
Gear. Walking shoes, water, a windbreaker; mid-mountain weather changes fast.
