Overview of Les Gets
The village of Les Gets charms with its typically Savoyard architecture, where traditional wood-and-stone chalets with steep-pitched roofs blend harmoniously into the alpine landscape. The lively and welcoming village centre brings together shops, restaurants and services around its square and church. The resort spreads across two main slopes: the Chavannes side, giving direct access to the ski area linked to Morzine, and the Mont Chery side, a more intimate sector with technical runs and an unbeatable panoramic view of the Mont Blanc range. Controlled development has preserved a mountain village atmosphere where no building rises above the church bell tower.

Skiing
Below are the 2 ski areas accessible from Les Gets: Les Portes du Soleil (alpin), Morzine – Les Gets (alpin).
Ski area — Les Portes du Soleil
⛰️ Altitudes: 974 m – 2276 m
🎿 Alpine skiing: 600 km
💰 Day pass: 73 €
With 600 km of runs across 12 resorts, the Portes du Soleil is not simply a ski area but one of the world’s largest interconnected ski safari spaces. Its unique feature is enabling a genuine ski journey, crossing the Franco-Swiss border almost without removing your skis, for an ever-renewed sliding and discovery experience. Extending from 1,000 to 2,400 metres altitude, the ski area offers incredible terrain diversity: from forest runs to wide high pastures, from gentle panoramic descents to legendary black runs such as the Mur Suisse at Champery — reserved for the most experienced skiers. While the heart of the ski area (Avoriaz, Chatel, Morgins, Champery) is perfectly linked ski-in ski-out, the immensity of the territory means some links between sectors — such as between Morzine and Les Gets — may require a short walk or shuttle. This reinforces the idea of a journey, where each resort preserves its own identity. Key resort highlights include: Avoriaz — the innovative high-altitude hub perched at 1,800 m, with its own 78 km of runs and links to Switzerland, famous for The Stash (a unique ecological snowpark with timber modules in the forest) and the Snowcross (marked but ungroomed runs for safe freeride initiation). Morzine and Les Gets — large village resorts combining village atmosphere and large-resort facilities with dynamic ski areas. Montriond — offering secret and fast access via the Ardent gondola, depositing skiers at the strategic Les Lindarets junction with direct links to Avoriaz and Switzerland. La Chapelle-d’Abondance — with its own 35 km ski area across two sectors, one connecting to the Swiss Torgon slopes for a gentler gateway to the wider domain.
Ski area — Morzine – Les Gets
⛰️ Altitudes: 1000 m – 2002 m
🎿 Alpine skiing: 120 km
💰 Day pass: 56 €
The Morzine-Les Gets ski area connects two emblematic resorts of the French Alps, offering a privileged playground where landscape diversity matches the quality of the infrastructure. With 120 kilometres of marked runs, the ski area caters to both experienced skiers seeking vertical drop and beginners making their first tracks. 77 runs wind through the massif, served by an efficient network of 47 ski lifts, allowing full enjoyment of the day across wide groomed runs and more technical sectors. Beyond alpine skiing, the ski area offers themed areas: two snowparks, a boardercross and a dedicated freeride zone for riders; and areas specifically designed for children and beginners for relaxed, fun learning. The ski area’s major asset is its landscape setting. Directly accessible from the Morzine town centre, the ski area offers spectacular viewpoints. On clear days, the contrast is striking between the rugged Chablais summits and the majestic Mont Blanc range on the horizon. More than a simple resort, Morzine-Les Gets embodies the perfect balance between sport and contemplation.
