Les Gets Ski & Snowboard Guide
Les Gets is part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area. This immense outdoor playground includes 12 Franco-Swiss resorts, 600 km of pistes, 202 lifts, 267 marked pistes, 243 km of cross-country skiing and 9 snow parks.
The Skiing & Snowboarding
Les Gets itself is a small, family-friendly resort that offers a good mix of beginner and intermediate slopes. At 1100 m high, the resort isn’t as snow-sure as other resorts in the Alps, but you can access the Morzine slopes on skis and you can get to the high-altitude terrain of Avoriaz by catching a bus to either the Ardent gondola or the Super Morzine gondola.
Les Gets has 48 lifts and 120 km of groomed pistes, including some lovely runs through the trees. The snowpark is well maintained and there’s a boardercross course and 12 km of cross-country skiing.
Les Gets Snowpark
The Les Gets snowpark, located in the Les Chavannes sector near the top of the Chavannes gondola, is a medium sized park with plenty enough variety of modules to keep every type of skier or boarder interested. With a dozen kickers and a dozen rails spread out over quite a large area, the park is well laid out and safe. The park is continually maintained by a crew of five enthusiastic shapers which contributes to the positive vibe. The snowpark is constantly being expanded with new features being added all the time.
Les Gets is also home to the only permanent big module boarder cross course in France. It’s a challenging but super fun run dedicated to local snowboarder and Olympic silver medallist Déborah Anthonioz. The course, located in the Chavannes area, is 523 m long and chock full of modules, including big 10-12 m tables, step ups and step downs, and big transition sections.

Watch this: The Hardest Black Run in Les Gets?
Myrtilles in Les Gets is arguably the hardest black run in the resort. Unlike the other hard runs in the Portes du Soleil, this one is easily accessible and gets an absolute pounding from skiers wanting to test themselves. Some steep sections and moguls can get icy, making it even more of a challenge.

Yes. The Chavannes sector has fast ski links to the Morzine slopes, and together they give you 120 km of pistes. Avoriaz isn’t ski-linked to Les Gets. Ski over to Morzine, then take the free Line A shuttle from Pléney to the Prodains Express. Or hop on the little train to the Super Morzine gondola. Check the illuminated signs at the lifts to see which links are open.
Skiing in Les Gets is relaxed and family-friendly, with a good mix of beginner and intermediate slopes. Chavannes is the sunny, busy side, with the snowpark and the link to Morzine. Mont Chéry is quieter, with big views of the Mont Blanc range. For a challenge, try the steep, mogul-prone Myrtilles black. The downside is altitude, so snow can be poor low down.
Yes, and it’s one of our picks for beginners and families. The Chavannes sector has dedicated beginner zones and gentle, safe slopes right above the village. Young children get the Grand Cry adventure area. The snowpark at Les Chavannes has wide boxes and low, flat jumps for first-timers. ESF and 360 International both teach here. Book your ski and snowboard rental early.
Les Gets’ lifts top out at 2,002 m, with 1,002 m of vertical across the Les Gets–Morzine area. That makes it a mid-altitude resort, so the lower slopes can be thin in a mild spell. When they are, head over to higher Avoriaz via Morzine. Its Mossettes chair reaches 2,260 m, the highest lift in the Portes du Soleil. Compare other French Alps ski resorts.
Les Gets has the shortest Portes du Soleil transfer from Geneva, at 1 h 15 – 1 h 30. That’s a typical private transfer in good conditions, so allow extra time on winter Saturdays. By rail, take a train from the airport to Geneva Cornavin, then the Léman Express to Cluses and the Y92 bus. Altibus and Swisstours also run shuttles. Compare airport transfers and other ski resorts near Geneva.
