ANNIVERSARY – LES GETS, A PIONEERING RESORT: The oldest drag lift in the resort is celebrating its 90th anniversary. The Boule de Gomme lift, with its saying “Qui souvent la Boule de Gomme montera, champion de ski deviendra” (Who often rides the Boule de Gomme will become a ski champion), has inspired young skiers and made life easier for adults. On the back of this success, Les Gets was the first resort in France to unveil a prototype chairlift.
