Les Gets: Les Gets Village
Les Gets occupies a mountain pass in Haute-Savoie, in the French Alps. The village is part of Portes du Soleil, the cross-border ski domain shared by resorts in France and Switzerland; its lifts and pistes connect with the neighbouring Morzine–Les Gets area and onward routes across the border. Mont Chéry, on the village’s western side, is both a ski sector and a prominent local summit. Away from the slopes, Les Gets retains a Savoyard character in its wood-and-stone architecture and regional food. Its Museum of Mechanical Music preserves self-playing instruments, adding an unusual cultural stop to a resort closely associated with mountain sport.

Les Gets is best known in the French Alps for its place in the Portes du Soleil ski area. Set between Mont Chéry and the Chavannes slopes in Haute-Savoie, the resort is part of a cross-border network linking mountain communities in France and Switzerland. Winter skiing gives way to downhill and cross-country mountain biking in summer, when the lifts and trails remain central to local life. Les Gets also has the Musée de la Musique Mécanique, devoted to self-playing instruments such as music boxes and barrel organs.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
