Chalet Les Gets
architect & project manager.

Atelier NovAlp designs and builds your chalet in Les Gets, in the Portes du Soleil: new build, renovation, extension, in keeping with the local plan (PLU) and the Savoyard timber chalet. Architecture, project management and general contracting under a single contract, from Aix-les-Bains.

Les Gets, the family village resort of the Portes du Soleil

Les Gets has managed to remain a village before being a resort. Savoyard timber chalets, a preserved village atmosphere, a loyal family clientele: at 1,172 metres, the commune cultivates a friendliness that sets it apart within the vast Portes du Soleil ski area. Also renowned as a mountain biking capital (2022 World Championships), it is busy in summer as well as in winter.

For a project manager, this steers projects towards the family chalet: human-scale new builds, renovation of an existing chalet, extensions to welcome more people. All within a local plan (PLU) that protects the Savoyard timber style and village spirit.

We carry out these projects as project manager or turnkey general contractor, with our in-house teams and a site manager on hand throughout, from our office in Aix-les-Bains.

A chalet in Les Gets: warmth and performance

The Savoyard timber chalet of Les Gets is designed in line with the commune's local plan (PLU): materials, roofs, volumes, integration into the village. Our in-house design office works within these rules from the very first sketch, which makes the permit and the price commitment more reliable.

The moderate altitude of Les Gets is an advantage for comfort, but it also calls for attention to the orientation, thermal mass and insulation of buildings, in a context where snow cover remains an issue. Snow loads, enhanced insulation and a shorter works window remain the rule.

The energy renovation of an old chalet significantly improves its comfort. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ zero-interest loan), while respecting the building.

Frequently asked questions · Les Gets

Building or renovating at altitude in Les Gets: what are the constraints?
Altitude brings real requirements: the orientation and thermal mass of buildings (snow cover being an issue at moderate altitude), snow loads, enhanced insulation, and a shorter works window (most projects are carried out outside the ski season). A project manager who genuinely coordinates the trades is essential to deliver on time.
Does the Les Gets local plan (PLU) require the Savoyard chalet style?
In ski resorts, the appearance of buildings is tightly regulated (materials, timber and stone, roofs, colours, massing). We design every project with these rules in mind from the initial sketch, which secures the permit and avoids revisions.
Do you work in Les Gets from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we work in Les Gets and the surrounding area, in Haute-Savoie. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous supervision, and the general contractor option lets you manage the project remotely between stays.
Do you carry out the work yourselves?
Yes. We carry out the works with our own teams, who know our standards. A single point of contact from start to finish.
Are you an architect?
Our manager is a state-qualified architect (French DEA degree), and we work as project managers and general contractors. When a project requires an architect registered with the Ordre des architectes, we bring in a registered architect.
