Les Gets sits at 1,170m in a wide, shallow valley that caches the sun most of the day. There are no high-rise buildings in Les Gets, which helps to maintain the alpine village atmosphere. The buildings are largely attractive thanks to timber cladding buildings, even along the lively main street. Les Gets has been going through a modernisation project in recent years, seeing the development of a few more modern buildings.
