Le Club cinema

In the heart of the village, Le Club cinema is open in winter and summer and shows national releases, according to the tourist office. For a wet late afternoon with children, it is the easiest option to fit in. In summer, the Portes du Soleil Multi Pass includes one showing a day.

Bowling

A bowling alley, Bar Le Bowling, is in the centre of the resort. The official sources give neither the number of lanes nor a minimum age, so call ahead if you are going with young children.

The mechanical music museum

This is the village’s leading cultural attraction. The museum displays over 1,000 instruments according to its website (over 900 according to the tourist office page), with a guided tour of about 1 hr 15 and a self-guided section of about 1 hr. It is included in the Multi Pass in summer. A full overview, opening times and tips are on the Les Gets mechanical music museum page.

Spas

The tourist office lists three spas: Kinabulu, Les Sources du Chéry and Séréni-Cimes. Access for children (minimum age, family sessions) varies between them and is not detailed in the sources consulted. The Multi Pass gives discounts at spas in summer. Booking is recommended, especially on bad-weather days.

Pottery, reading and exercise

  • Pottery workshop: listed by the tourist office as a bad-weather activity; ask the workshop about sessions and minimum age.
  • Library and media library: the old library in the Salle de la Colombière closed on 1 August 2026. The new media library, with a children’s area and a games library, is due to be inaugurated on Saturday 28 November 2026 at 3 pm, according to the town hall. Its opening hours have not yet been published. There are also four book boxes in the hamlets and the old village.
  • Gym: mentioned by the tourist office, with no detail on access for visitors.

The ice rink: outdoors

The ice rink is on the square in front of the Maison des Gets, in the open air. It opens every day in the winter season, weather permitting, so it is not a solution in heavy rain. Listed winter 2026-27 prices: €9 for adults and €8 for under-16s including skate hire, or €5 and €4 for entry only. Opening dates for 2026-27 have not yet been published.

What about a swimming pool?

No swimming pool or indoor aquatic centre is mentioned by the tourist office in its list of bad-weather activities, so this guide does not suggest one. In summer, swimming is at the Lac des Écoles, weather permitting.

Other ideas

  • The all-season toboggan at Les Perrières runs year round on a published schedule, but it is outdoors.
  • For other winter activities away from the slopes, see off-slope activities in Les Gets.
  • Before changing your plans, check the weather, webcams and snow report from official sources: an afternoon clearance may be enough to head back out.
