Mountain

Via Ferrata is a great starting point for any aspiring rock climber. It’s an introduction to the sensations of rock climbing, but without the technical difficulty and with the added security of being permanently attached to specially placed iron rails throughout your ascent. There are various routes for different levels of difficulty. Courses located in nearby Avoriaz and Samoens are €40pp, or €50 in Abondance (a longer, tougher course). Transfers are included in the price.

Located just 20 mins away in St Jean D’Aulps is the Bas Tex face. Cost €40pp including transfers.

For any horse rider, there can be no better way to experience the beauty of the Alps, than on horseback. Take in the local scenery on a 2 or 3 hr trip, starting from Morzine. From age 12 and costs €35 or €50pp respectively.

Similar to ‘Go Ape’ in the UK, Les Gets boasts its very own adventure park where you can swing through the trees on ropes, ladders and swings. In order to do the whole course you need to have a total height of 1.80m with your arms raised. There is a shorter course for children.

Les Gets and the Portes du Soleil are world renowned for Mountain biking. We have a whole section dedicated to Mountain Biking in Les Gets with lots of information, but a day’s hands free pass for the full area is €26 and basic bike hire is €25/ day, though you can pay up to €100 for a top downhill bike. Safety equipment including helmet, knee and elbow pads is a further €10. Road biking is is also very popular in the area, and guests like to take on the challenge of some of the mountain stages of the Tour de France, which are close to Les Gets. Our Road biking page has more info.

There is a summer luge run in Morzine, under the Pleney bubble lift. Access is via a chair lift, and once you're at the top of the course you can choose to race down side by side (there are 2 tracks), or travel one after the other. Children are allowed on the luge, with younger children traveling on the lap of an adult.
