Home description
The apartment is a duplex( on two floors), and is ideally situated in the old part of Les Gets,within 150 metres of the ESF ski school, close to all amenities, and yet in a quiet area. At a size of 64 square metres(plus a 26 square metre balcony), it is one of the larger apartments in the village. The balcony is ideal for sunbathing and entertaining throughout the year.
The key to being in Les Gets is to be right in the centre. Many renals offer properties that are well out of town and are problematic for access. Don' be fooled by these properties
In terms of location Le Grand Paradis is hard to beat, being right in the town centre with a 2 minute walk to the nearest ski lift and with the restaurants being right on the doorstep. Because of the location there is no need for long walks to amenities or the use of ski busses
In the winter it is a fantastic ski area - the largest linked ski area in the world.
In the summer, the area is a favourite for waklers and mountain bikers - with many of the ski-lifts opento give access to the mountains.
Overall it is a great year-round resort.
