Grains d'Or chairlift rebuilt in place of the Pointe du Chéry lift

This news item is several months old: check the details with the source.

One of the lifts in Les Gets has moved for winter 2026-27. On 6 October 2026, the specialist ski industry magazine Alti-Mag reported that the six-seat Grains d’Or chairlift had been dismantled and reinstalled on the site of the Pointe du Chéry chairlift, on the Mont Chéry side of the resort.

Key points

• A reused lift. Rather than buying new, the resort has reused an existing chairlift. Alti-Mag lists Les Gets among the resorts relying on second-hand lifts this season, alongside Val Cenis, Les Carroz, Praz-de-Lys and Les 2 Alpes.
• Linked to the Rosta. As early as January 2026, the specialist site Remontées-mécaniques.net said the detachable six-seat Grains d’Or chairlift was due to be removed in 2026, following the opening of the new eight-seat Rosta chairlift in December 2025. The same report mentioned plans for a chair storage garage in the old Grains d’Or bottom station.
• On Mont Chéry. The relocated lift replaces the Pointe du Chéry chairlift in the Mont Chéry sector.

What it means

For skiers, the change affects two areas: the Grains d’Or chairlift no longer runs in its original spot, and the Pointe du Chéry now has a detachable six-seater. The official 2026-27 piste map is the reference for finding your way.

Still to be confirmed

The sources we checked do not give the exact opening date at the Pointe du Chéry, the lift’s capacity, or the name it will carry on the piste map. We will update this article when the operator, SoleGets, publishes those details.
