Discover Les Gets in the Summer
Summer in Les Gets
What a fantastic week we have had in Les Gets, running, hiking, cycling, swimming in the lake and following a few stages of the Tour de France. As a family we have enjoyed over 20 years of skiing holidays in the Portes du Soliel, many with Jane and Rob at Chalet Bluebell. It’s taken us a few years to head to the village in the summer, only to discover how much there is to do there. The hiking and trail runs on the Chavanne and on Mont Chery are amazing with some wonderful views and lots of places to stop for much needed refreshments.
Cycling the Cols around les gets
The boys are keen cyclists – Ross is semi-pro, cycling for a Cornish Team, St Piran. Dad, Simon, isn’t far behind Ross! And me, Mum, Aileen, is a recent convert to the sport!!
It was great to tackle some of the Cols, many that are much more familiar when covered in snow. On skis, The ‘Chocolate Box’ feels quite flat, it appears to be much steeper when cycling up the famous Col du Joux Plane.
Thank you Laura, Mia and Andy for taking such good care of us and as for our superb hosts, Jane and Rob, you make us feel like family:)
With every best wish for a fabulous summer, Aileen, Simon and Ross
