The Les Gets-Morzine link: skiing between the two resorts

  • Winter

Information checked on 9 November 2026

At a glance

Les Gets and Morzine are linked by the runs from the Chavannes sector, and a single pass, Les Gets-Morzine, covers both resorts. Official sources do not detail which lifts make up the link; only the Folliets chairlift is flagged as the lift back to Morzine, with its own closing time. If the link is closed, buses also connect the two villages.

Skiing over to Morzine is one of the most natural outings from the Les Gets ski area: the two resorts together form the Les Gets-Morzine area, around 120 km of runs, and share the same pass. This page sets out what is officially published about the link, seen from Les Gets, and is upfront about what is not.

What the official sources say

  • The starting point is the Chavannes sector. The tourist office says the Les Gets area is linked by the runs to the Morzine sector through fast connections from Les Chavannes.
  • One pass is enough. The Les Gets-Morzine pass covers both resorts. For winter 2026-27, an adult day pass is listed at €50 online (€56 at the desk) and a 6-day pass at €276 online.
  • Link status is shown live on the tourist office’s interactive map and on illuminated boards at the bottom of the lifts.
  • One lift back to Morzine is identified: the lift operator’s timetable lists the Folliets chairlift (spelt “Folliet” on other pages) as the lift to “go back to Morzine”, with its own closing time.

What is not spelled out

The official pages consulted on 9 November 2026 do not describe the exact route of the link: neither the list of lifts to take in each direction, nor the precise role of the lifts in the sector (the Nauchets Express detachable chairlift, for example, appears on the map as a landmark, without its role in the link being explained). Unofficial websites suggest routes; we do not repeat them as we cannot verify them.

In practice, the official piste map remains the best tool for working out the route: our page on the Les Gets-Morzine piste map explains where to find it and how to read it.

Getting back in time: the key point

The Folliets chairlift has its own closing time, separate from the village lifts. For winter 2025-26, the lift operator’s timetable showed:

Period (winter 2025-26) Folliets chairlift closes
20 December to mid-January 4.30pm
mid-January to early February 5pm
early February to 6 March 5.30pm
7 to 29 March 5pm

The 2026-27 times have not yet been published. This lift is for skiers heading back to Morzine; the sources do not name an equivalent lift for getting back to Les Gets at the end of the day. If you are staying in Les Gets, leave yourself a comfortable margin.

Before heading to Morzine after lunch, ask the lift staff what time the last connection back to Les Gets is: it is the one piece of information missing online.

The road is your fallback. According to the tourist office and the town hall:

  • regional bus lines Y91 and Y92 connect Les Gets and Morzine;
  • the Balad’Aulps Bus, the inter-village network of the Aulps valley, runs in winter and summer (2 lines, €1.60 per journey); the tourist office says it serves Morzine and Le Jotty;
  • a shared cycle and footpath of 1.6 km links the two resorts.

No dedicated free shuttle between Les Gets and Morzine is confirmed; the tourist office mentions an “inter-resort shuttle” in season without further detail. Once back, the free Les Gets Bus shuttles serve the village and hamlets: routes and the tracking app are covered on our parking and shuttles page.
