The creation of a Geotrail is an essential part of this programme. This is a route linking around twenty remarkable geological sites. The aim is to offer a fun way to explore the geological heritage of a particular area. Les Gets is one of the sites with a rich geological identity. The Tourbières educational trail is located around the wetlands near the Lac des Ecoles. Accessible to all, this free walk can be enjoyed by all the family with the help of information panels set up along the footpath explaining the specific nature of the peat bogs in Les Gets.

Discover Eco-actions in the Les Gets resort for more sustainable tourism

In order to preserve our mountain environment, a number of eco-actions have been taken throughout the village and the ski area, in winter and summer.

Our environmental labels

Les Gets is committed for an unspoilt natural environment

Fully aware of the richness and fragility of its natural and human environment, Les Gets has for years been committed to sustainable tourism. Here, harmony goes hand in hand with a gentle way of life, with the aim of preserving and promoting this remarkable heritage, which is the common heritage of the people of Les Gets and a vector of the area’s identity.

Our approach is in line with the territorial policy of the Haut Chablais Community of Communes (Haut-Chablais Interco) and its environmental initiatives.

With its eco-tourism philosophy and positioning, the resort aims to enhance and preserve its mountain environment. As part of a comprehensive approach, a number of initiatives have been put in place on the ski area and in the village, including soft mobility, a wood-fired heating system that supplies 12 community buildings, the distribution of pocket ashtrays, electric bikes and mountain bikes in summer, new-generation snow guns that consume less energy, and events that limit our environmental footprint.

In Les Gets, you can get around in an environmentally-friendly way. Like GetsLib’, self-service electric bikes that make it easy to get around the resort and the surrounding area.

An eco-golf course An environmental pioneer
