Les Gets Golf Course is a stunning 18-hole course with panoramic, 360° views of the surrounding Alps and Les Portes du Soleil.

La Marmotte chalet-hotel has partnered with the course to give guests easy access and preferential rates on green fees and golf buggies.
The ski resort of Les Gets is less than one hour from Geneva. Rising to an altitude of 1,172 m at the summit of the same name, the resort is surrounded by forests and alpine pastures and boasts breathtaking panoramic views.

Les Gets is a charming alpine village that stands between Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. The resort is connected to the 650 km of ski slopes at Les Portes du Soleil and boasts a wide range of sports and leisure activities all year round, including downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ski touring, snowshoe trekking, sledging, ice skating, dog sledding, hiking, paragliding, horse-riding, mountain biking, an adventure park, swimming in the lake, rafting, river-boarding, canyoning, and many others besides. And in summer, guests enjoy special access to the 18-hole Les Gets Golf Course on the outskirts of the forest, offering stunning panoramic views of Mont Blanc. 
If you prefer hiking at altitude, then continue your journey onwards to the traditional village of Les Lindarets where the local goats roam free, Chamonix Mont-Blanc with the Mer de Glace glacier and the Aiguille du Midi mountain, St-Gervais, or Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval with its nature reserve.

And when summer returns, there’s nothing better than a stroll along the banks of Lake Geneva or Lake Annecy.
The local region is brimming with cultural gems, such as the old town of Annecy, the village of Yvoire, and the architecturally stunning spa towns of Thonon and Evian.

While you’re here, you can always pop across the border for a day in Geneva and the surrounding area. And this is just a small selection of the things you can do!
