Preparing this Ski Season in Les Gets: What You Need to Know

Les Gets isn’t just any ski resort; it’s an alpine village with soul, nestled between the slopes of Mont Chéry and Les Chavannes, offering unforgettable holidays season after season. Whether you’re a first-timer, a family planner, or a returning mountain lover, here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your next ski trip in Les Gets.

What Makes Les Gets Unique?

Ski straight from the village: Les Gets is a true ski-in/ski-out resort, with lifts accessible from the heart of the village. Its two-sided domain means you can chase the sun on Mont Chéry or explore the wider Portes du Soleil from the Chavannes side.

Stats that matter:

• 120 km of slopes in Les Gets-Morzine
  
  
• 600 km total across Portes du Soleil (France + Switzerland)
  
  
• 50 lifts, 6 ski touring routes, 2 snowparks, 4 themed pistes
  
  
• 2 “skywalks” with breathtaking Mont Blanc views
  
  

And this year, skiing will be faster and greener than ever: the new Rosta chairlift (8-seater, ergonomic, eco-efficient) cuts ride times and improves comfort while reducing emissions.

• Train-friendly travel incentives with discounts through the AlpinExpress Pass
