Les Gets is a proper village resort: the centre sits between the two halves of the ski area, and you can walk to the slopes. This section brings together what you need to plan a ski holiday in 2026-27, based on information published by the lift operator, the tourist office and the Portes du Soleil.

One ski area, two mountainsides, a village in between

The Les Gets ski area is split across two complementary mountainsides, one on each side of the village.

• Les Chavannes: described by the tourist office as the family-friendly, “easy cruising” sector, with a very accessible snow front, wide sunny runs, the beginner areas, the snowpark and the link to Morzine. It is the hub of the ski area. The Chavannes plateau is at 1,482 m and the top of Ranfoilly at 1,812 m.
• Mont Chéry: quieter and more scenic, facing the Mont Blanc range, with more secluded runs and a sportier character. Its summit is at 1,826 m.

The village and snow front are at around 1,172 m (the altitude shown on the official webcams). The main lifts leave from the village: the Chavannes gondola and chairlift on one side, the Mont Chéry gondola on the other. The Perrières area, at the entrance to the village, also has a chairlift up to the Chavannes slopes, and since 20 December 2025 the Rosta sector has been served by a new eight-seater detachable chairlift.

Les Gets-Morzine, then the Portes du Soleil

From Les Chavannes, runs link Les Gets with the Morzine sector. The two resorts make up the Les Gets-Morzine area, covered by a single lift pass:

Beyond that, the tourist office presents Les Gets-Morzine as the first link in the Portes du Soleil, a French-Swiss area of 12 resorts. Its official website quotes 600 km of skiing and around 200 lifts; lesgets.com says 650 km. A Portes du Soleil pass takes you beyond Morzine, but for a holiday based in Les Gets, many skiers find the Les Gets-Morzine pass is plenty.

2026-27 season: key dates

The lift operator, the local public company SOLEGETS, announces:

• partial opening on Saturday 12 December 2026, snow permitting;
• full opening on Saturday 19 December 2026, also the date for the whole Portes du Soleil;
• closing day on Sunday 11 April 2027.

Some runs and lifts may close earlier depending on snow and visitor numbers. In 2025-26, for instance, the Mont Chéry runs closed on 29 March. Lifts open at 9am; closing times for 2026-27 have not yet been published.

Who is it for?

The area suits families and beginner or intermediate skiers well, thanks to the learning areas at Les Chavannes, a beginner pass and a reduced-price pass for part of the area. Confident skiers will find more demanding runs on Mont Chéry and can widen their range towards Morzine or the whole Portes du Soleil. For younger children, the crèche and snow garden help parents plan their day. Freestyle fans have the Chavannes snowpark, with lines from green to black and a contest every March, and non-skiers can ride several lifts with a pedestrian pass.

Before you go

Conditions change daily: before heading up, check the webcams and snow report, which point to the official sources. To get around, free shuttle buses (Les Gets Bus) serve the village and hamlets every day in season, so you rarely need the car to reach the lifts. Our guide to parking and shuttles covers car parks and snow-clearing rules.

The official lift pass website, pass.lesgets.com, remains the reference for dates, hours and prices. The information in this section was checked on 9 November 2026.
