3. Small family friendly resort

Skiing and Boarding in Les Gets

Often overlooked for its neighbour Morzine, Les Gets may not offer as convenient access to the whole Portes du Soleil ski area, but it does benefit from quick access to the Mont Chery ski area which boasts a great range of challenging (yet quiet) red and black runs perfect for experts and intermediates.

Beginners will also enjoy Les Gets. The nursery slopes are conveniently located in the village and once these have been mastered, we recommend heading to the Bleuets (run) on Chavannes. There is also an area which is just for beginners and an area adapted just for children.

If you're after some freestyle then head over to the boarder-cross and the snowpark area where you can try some tricks and get some big air.

For quick access to the full area of Portes de Soleil, the Ardent gondola is a short drive or bus ride from resort. Once there you'll have a winter playground consisting of 600km of ski area. This means you'll find a great range of ski runs for all abilities.

Lift Passes in Les Gets

Les Gets offers two types of lift passes. These include the Morzine-Les gets pass that offers access to 48 lifts and 71 slopes. For those wanting to explore the full area then get the Les Portes du Soleil ski area pass. This gives you access to 196 ski lifts and 286 slopes.
