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.

Les Gets–Morzine Pass (Local Area)
This is the pass most skiers visiting Les Gets will end up with, and for good reason. Covering around 120km of marked pistes across 48 lifts, it links Les Gets directly with neighbouring Morzine, a resort with its own distinct charm and a brilliant après scene. For intermediate skiers and families in particular, this pass represents outstanding value. A week's skiing within this area alone will keep most people thoroughly busy; the variety of terrain is genuinely impressive, and you won't spend half your holiday on a bus trying to reach the good stuff. It costs noticeably less than the full Portes du Soleil pass, and for most guests, it's the smart choice.

Portes du Soleil Pass (Full Area)
For the mile-munchers, the pass-collectors, and those who measure a good ski holiday in sheer distance covered, the Portes du Soleil pass is a glorious thing. It unlocks access to 12 interconnected resorts straddling the French and Swiss border - including crowd favourites like Avoriaz, with its famously car-free streets and dramatic cliff-top setting, and Châtel, which has a more traditional Alpine village feel. Across the whole network, you're looking at nearly 600km of terrain, which is quite something to wrap your head around. If you're a confident, adventurous skier who loves the idea of skiing from country to country in a single day, this is your pass. Just be prepared to put the miles in - the rewards are worth it, but so is a decent pair of legs.

P'tite Glisse & Mappys (Beginner Passes)
Not everyone arrives in Les Gets with a parallel turn already locked in, and the resort caters brilliantly for those still finding their ski legs. The Mappys area is a purpose-built learning zone, specifically designed to let complete beginners get comfortable on skis without feeling intimidated by more advanced skiers whizzing past. The P'tite Glisse pass steps things up a level, offering access to 12 lifts and 13 beginner-friendly runs - enough variety to build real confidence over the course of a week. Both options cost a fraction of the full-area passes, making them an extremely sensible choice for those still working out whether skiing is for them. Spoiler: it usually is.

Mont Chéry Pass
If you've ever wanted to escape the main-mountain crowds and find yourself on immaculate pistes with views that make you stop mid-run just to stare, Mont Chéry is your answer. This lesser-known side of Les Gets is something of an open secret among locals, who love it for its technical red and black runs, its reliably quieter slopes, and the extraordinary panoramic views across to the Mont Blanc massif. The Mont Chéry pass covers this sector only, which makes it a more limited option in terms of mileage - but for those who prioritise quality over quantity, and who want a genuinely peaceful day on the mountain, it's a brilliant choice. It also catches the afternoon sun beautifully, which is never a bad thing.

Family & Group Passes
Skiing with the family or a group of friends? Les Gets has thought about you, too. The resort offers a ‘Tribu’ (or Family Pack) discount, which gives roughly 10% off when four or more passes of the same duration are purchased together in a single transaction. It's a straightforward saving that can add up to a meaningful amount over the course of a week, particularly for larger families. The key thing to remember is that all passes need to be bought at the same time, so make sure everyone's committed before you head to the checkout.
