Les Gets Ski Passes
Tucked into the French Alps just a stone's throw from the Swiss border, Les Gets has long been a favourite among those who know their stuff when it comes to ski resorts.
It's got the lot: a genuine mountain-village atmosphere, excellent family-friendly infrastructure, and snow-sure slopes that suit everyone from nervous beginners to seasoned experts. But perhaps its greatest asset is its position within the Portes du Soleil - one of the largest linked ski areas on the planet - which means that choosing the right ski pass here is actually a more interesting decision than it might first appear.
Les Gets sits at the heart of a vast interconnected network spanning 12 resorts across France and Switzerland, yet it manages to retain a distinct, village-y identity that sets it apart from its flashier neighbours. That local character is part of the appeal, and as you'll see, it also shapes how you might think about your lift pass. This guide is designed to cut through the noise and help you figure out exactly which pass suits your skiing style - so you're not shelling out for lifts you'll never ride, or conversely, finding yourself stuck on the same few slopes when there's a world of terrain just over the ridge.
Types of ski passes in Les Gets
At its simplest, the choice comes down to two main domains: the Les Gets–Morzine pass, which covers the local area shared between the two linked resorts, and the Portes du Soleil pass, which throws open the doors to the entire international network. But it's worth knowing that the picture is a little more nuanced than that binary choice suggests.
For those just starting out, there are dedicated beginner passes - the Mappys and P'tite Glisse options - which restrict access to the gentlest terrain and come at a considerably friendlier price point. There's also a Mont Chéry pass for those who fancy something a bit more specialist. And across all these categories, you'll find a good range of durations: from a 5-hour taster pass if you fancy a quick afternoon on the snow, all the way through to full-season passes for the truly committed. Whatever your situation, there's almost certainly a pass that fits it neatly.
FAQs
Are there discounts for children or seniors in Les Gets?
Absolutely. Reduced rates apply across several age bands when buying your Les Gets ski passes: Children (5–15), Young (16–25), and Seniors (65–74) all benefit from lower prices. Children under 5 and those over 75 often ski free or at a pretty nice discount - just bring proof of age to avoid any faff at the lift office.
Should I buy online or at the lift office when booking my Les Gets ski passes?
Online, without question! Booking your Les Gets pass in advance almost always secures you a better rate than turning up and paying at the window. It also saves you queuing time on your first morning, which is time better spent on the slopes. We’ve made it easy for you - simply add your ski passes to your booking in the ‘Extras’ section on our website.
Can I upgrade my local pass to a full Portes du Soleil pass mid-week in Les Gets?
Yes - if you start the week on a Les Gets-Morzine pass and decide you want to venture further afield, you can usually pay a daily supplement at the lift office to access the wider network for that day. It's a handy bit of flexibility that means you're not locked into your original decision.
