The Les Gets golf course is located on the Chavannes ridge and must have amongst the best views of any course in Europe. The terrain is varied and a certain level of fitness is required to enjoy this course to the full - we suggest that you use one of the buggies available from the clubhouse, or a carry. The course itself is challenging even for good golfers. The Chalet style Club House and mountain restaurant is situated on the Chavannes road and is a 5 minute drive from the centre of Les Gets.

Spectacular mountain course at an altitude of 1,900m and is the highest golf course in europe. This course is on top of the world and is a real hilly challenge. It's too steep for buggies or trolleys. On one green your balls can roll down to the valley floor! The course has extraordinary views over the Alps.The clubhouse has a snack bar and the course does not have a strict dress code.
