Tone your calves

Located on the prestigious Route des Grandes Alpes, Les Gets offers a complete package for all cycling lovers! Varied itineraries passing through the biggest mountain passes in an exceptional natural environment in the heart of the mountains …

The resort is recognised for the organisation of international mountain bike competitions and also hosted the Grand Depart of the Critérium du Dauphiné in 2016. The event that year was enriched by ‘La Montée du Chéry’, a time trial that was over 9% more difficult than the average. This is likely to become an unmissable for cyclists.

The « Accueil Vélo » label

Thanks to the Accueil Vélo label and Escale Vélo charter, Les Gets resort is equipped to welcome cycling enthusiasts in the best possible way: infrastructures for mountain biking, accommodations are listed and services adapted to cyclists (hire companies, repairers, road cycling courses, etc.).

Routes for all tastes

Les Gets road is a part of the Route des Grandes Alpes for long distance cyclists, but is also taken by those who attack the mythical passes from the Tour de France, which surround the village, such as the Joux Plane pass.

We have selected for you three routes that we particularly appreciate !

  • Mythical mountain pass

    The Joux Plane pass

    The Joux Plane pass, tackled manytimes by Tour de France competitors, is one of the most difficult Alpine climbsin. The start is very hard, then the climb is difficult with a maximum average of 13% at the hamlet called «La Combe Emeru».

  • To warm up

    Excursion to the Arve Valley

    The roads, which are wide and well surfaced, are far from difficult but by no means uninteresting. This is an ideal circuit to get into shape before tackling harder climbs nearby.
