| Mountain Biking World Class trails in a stunning Alpine setting |
Whether you're an enthusiastic and experienced rider, a relative novice to the sport or a family keen to exhaust super-energetic kids, the Les Gets area has well marked trails that will enable you to explore unassisted and at your own pace.
In 2004 the resort hosted the Mountain Bike World Championships and its reputation continues to grow, however, with the vast variety of routes on offer it rarely feels busy.

The following Activites can all be arranged in resort
|
White water rafting
An exhilarating 6km descent of the local River Dranse in an 8-man raft, accompanied by an experienced guide. Be prepared to get wet. To qualify you must be able to swim 25m. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

|
|
Via Ferrata
Experience the sensations of rock climbing without the technical difficulty. You're permanently attached to a fixed cable and 'traverse' a rock face. You must have a head for heights - at times you'll be over 100m above the ground! Children must be accompanied by an adult.
|
|
Hydrospeed
A challenging descent of the local River Dranse, navigating the rapids kitted in wetsuit and flippers, holding on to no more than a large float with handles. More strenuous than rafting and requires a good front crawl leg kick. You must be able to swim 25m and children must be a minimum of 1.4m tall.

|
|
|
Canyoning
A 'gorge adventure', abseiling off bridges and waterfalls, wading through the water, and sliding or jumping down rocks following the path of a river. Great fun, challenging and exhilarating, but not for the faint hearted. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
|
|
Paragliding
Take to the skies by running off a local mountain, with an instructor, suspended below a paragliding canopy - effectively a highly controllable parachute. The views are magnificent and, depending on conditions, you may be able to soar in the thermals like the 'mountain chuffs'.
