Summer in Les Gets

A flash in the pan for 2015.We’ve recently returned from our summer in Les Gets, where we spent 7 short weeks looking after guests in Chalet Elise. It was great to see our returning guests again, and to welcome new ones to the chalet. We can’t believe how quickly the time has gone, and that already school and the winter season are on the agenda.

Here’s a round-up of our summer in pictures. Our summer next year is likely to be even shorter – we’re planning on offering only self-catered stays in July, and will run the chalet ourselves for just 3 weeks in August, so if you’re keen to see the Alps in the summer for yourself, be sure to book soon!

Les Gets has fantastic views towards Mont Blanc, and there are loads of fantastic walking trails for all abilities.
