What's New In Les Gets This Summer 2018?

YOGA WALK WITH VIEWS OF MONT BLANC: An uplifting country walk incorporating yoga poses and breathing techniques on the beautiful slopes of Mont Chéry.
MAGY FARM, where Véronique, Gilles and their 5 daughters spend the summer months accompanied by their 65 alpine goats - each with its own name! There we find home produced fresh cheeses with delicious, original flavours or their ‘bouchons’ little canapes perfect with an aperitif!

On one side is L’As des Neiges with its bistronomique cuisine and on the other, Le Comptoir offering informal sharing platters, fresh pasta and pizzas.
YOGAPERO… Barbara is offering an innovative, relaxing activity combining the pleasures of yoga and food, high on a village roof-top…
