Skiing & terrain in Les Gets and Morzine

Les Gets–Morzine only (the Chavannes, Mont-Chéry, Pleney and Nyon sectors): every run name printed on the official 2026–27 Les Gets–Morzine piste map (69 pistes), plus the sectors, fun zones, beginner areas, race courses and uphill ski-touring itineraries on that map, the link to Avoriaz from Morzine and the other Portes du Soleil resorts as area rows — 103 rows. Avoriaz and the Swiss resorts are not inventoried; Avoriaz has its own SkiPair guide.

Checked 18 October 2026. Run names and colours come from the official 2026–27 Les Gets–Morzine piste map (French grades: green, blue, red, black), where each run label is printed in its run's colour; they agree with the Portes du Soleil interactive map wherever the same name appears there only once. The map prints 69 named pistes (4 green, 31 blue, 26 red, 8 black) against 74 runs in the operator's counter, so a few short runs are unnamed on the map and missing here (the P'tite Glisse beginner pass, for example, counts 6 greens). Two separate runs are called Chamois and two Lièvre (one blue, one red). The operator does not publish a sector for each run, so every run carries the map's own label, Les Gets–Morzine; the four sector names appear as area rows only, and the tourist office's sector for six runs is quoted in their descriptions. No run lengths are published per run (the tourist office gives vertical drops for six runs), so lengthM is empty; no lift length is used instead. The 2026–27 map counts 47 lifts and the operator's web page 50. Opening status changes daily — use the live map.

Les Gets–Morzine pistes: Chavannes, Mont Chéry, Pleney and Nyon

Les Gets–Morzine is the linked ski area shared by the two villages: 120 km of marked pistes, 74 runs and 15 fun zones in the operator's count, inside the much larger Portes du Soleil (650 km across France and Switzerland). The official 2026–27 map splits it into four sectors — Les Chavannes and Mont Chéry above Les Gets, Pleney and Nyon above Morzine — and the table below lists every run named on that map, by its printed colour.

Les Chavannes is the big, sunny side above Les Gets, topping out at La Rosta (1,665 m) and Le Ranfoilly (1,826 m); the tourist office picks out Campanule (blue, 187 m vertical), Sautenaille (red, 300 m) and Yéti, the black mogul run under the La Rosta chairlift. Across the village, Mont Chéry (1,826 m) is steeper — mostly red and black, with Ourson as its only blue — and the 2026–27 map marks a new six-seat La Pointe chairlift there.

On the Morzine side, the Pleney gondola climbs from the village to Pleney (1,505 m) and the Nyon cable car to the Nyon sector, whose top lifts reach Chamossière (2,002 m) and Pointe de Nyon (2,019 m), the highest points of the area, with a marked freeride zone. Of the 69 named runs, 4 are green, 31 blue, 26 red and 8 black. No lengths are published per run, so the table has none.

Les Gets–Morzine for beginners: Chavannes, Piste 64 and the P'tite Glisse pass

Beginners do not need the full pass. The beginner pass covers two magic carpets, a rope tow and a rope lift plus a return gondola ride in the Les Gets area, and the P'tite Glisse pass opens 12 lifts and 13 runs (6 green, 6 blue, 1 red): in 2026–27 it costs €28.70 a day for an adult and €22 for a child online (€30.50 and €24 at the ticket office).

Les Chavannes is the natural place to start: the plateau has the Zone Débutants des Mappys, the Tapis des Chavannes carpet and the green Piste 64 (105 m vertical), and the Chavannes gondola rides up from Les Gets village. On the Morzine side, the official map marks beginner areas at Pleney, in the Nyon sector by the covered Aiglon carpet, and at Le Bouchet near the village.

After the greens, blues such as Campanule, Reine des prés and Tulipe at Les Chavannes are the next step. Leave Mont Chéry and the Chamossière top at Nyon for later: their runs are mostly red and black.

Getting to Les Gets and Morzine: Geneva airport, Cluses or Thonon, then the bus

Neither village has an airport. Geneva airport is the gateway: the Les Gets tourist office puts it 55 km away, about 1 h 15 by car, with Annecy airport 82 km and Lyon airport 170 km away. In season it lists an Altibus coach between Geneva airport and Les Gets coach station (Thursday to Monday, 15 December–15 April) alongside private transfer companies; book ahead for weekend arrivals.

By public transport, take the train from Geneva airport to Geneva Cornavin, then the Léman Express to Cluses and bus Y92, or to Thonon-les-Bains and bus Y91. Altibus runs Y92 Cluses–Morzine from Cluses station, and the tourist offices list both lines for Les Gets (coach station La Soulane) and Morzine. Cluses is 22 km from Les Gets, which is 25 km from the A40 motorway.

For the last leg, Morzine has free resort shuttles — the AU line links Le Pleney with the Prodains cable car, and line M (run by Montriond) links the Nyon cable car with Montriond — and Les Gets has its own shuttle bus. By car, winter tyres or chains are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March.

Les Gets and Morzine with kids: Grand Cry, Penguin Park, esf and day care

esf Les Gets runs the Club Piou Piou for 3–4-year-olds, a Piou Piou plus childcare option, the P'tits Montagnys childcare from age 4, lessons for 5–12-year-olds from beginner to Étoile d'Or, and snowboard lessons from age 6. For younger children, Les Fripouilles day care (run by the lift company) takes 12 months to 4 years, 12 places, at €85.50 a full day with meals in 2026–27 — book early.

On the slopes, the Espace Grand Cry at Les Chavannes is a themed kids' area with games and challenges, and the map shows the Grand Cry trails and the Mappys beginner area next to it. Above Morzine, the tourist office points families to the Penguin Park (Pinguin Park on the map) at Pleney and the Zouzous trail, and says many schools there teach in English.

Under-5s ski free with proof of age, and a family of four or more gets 10% off passes of 4 days or longer. A non-skiing parent can buy a Les Gets–Morzine pedestrian pass (€16 a day) for the Chéry, Chavannes, Pleney and Nyon lifts, and the map marks the Pas dans le Vide viewing platform and the Luge 4 Saisons coaster in Les Gets.

Where to stay: Morzine town, Les Gets village or Les Prodains and Ardent

Morzine is the bigger village, with a lively centre at about 1,000 m. From the village the Pleney gondola goes straight into Les Gets–Morzine and the Super-Morzine gondola into Avoriaz, so it is the best base for using both halves of the Portes du Soleil; the Nyon cable car has a free car park at its base. The catch is altitude: the tourist office warns that the village itself can lack snow while the slopes above 1,300 m are fine, and early in the season you ride the Nyon cable car or Pleney gondola back down.

Les Gets is the more compact family village, and its weather station sits higher (1,172 m). The Chavannes and Mont-Chéry gondolas and several chairlifts leave from the village, the beginner areas, Espace Grand Cry, esf and Les Fripouilles are all here, and the coach station takes the Y91 and Y92 buses. It is further from Avoriaz, which you reach through the Morzine sectors or by bus.

Les Prodains (the Avoriaz cable car, on the free AU shuttle from Le Pleney) and Ardent (in Montriond, linked to the Nyon cable car by line M) are bases for the Avoriaz side rather than for Les Gets–Morzine. Wherever you book, check the walk in ski boots to the nearest lift or shuttle stop — the Pleney, Prodains and Ardent car parks fill up in season.

Les Gets–Morzine ski pass vs Portes du Soleil: 2026–27 prices

Two passes matter. The Les Gets–Morzine pass covers the 120 km in this guide; the Portes du Soleil pass adds Avoriaz, Châtel and the Swiss resorts (650 km in all), and the map marks where you need it. In the 2026–27 price list checked on 18 October 2026, an adult pays €50 a day or €276 for six days for Les Gets–Morzine online (€56 and €312 at the ticket office), and €69 a day or €352 for six days for the Portes du Soleil online (€73 and €373 at the ticket office).

Children are 5 to 15 (€40 a day and €210 for six days online on the Les Gets–Morzine pass; €52 and €264 on the Portes du Soleil), youth 16–25 and seniors 65–74 pay in between, under-5s ski free, and over-75s pay €22 a day on Les Gets–Morzine or €29 a day on the Portes du Soleil. A Mont Chéry day pass costs €26.70 online, and both areas are 15% cheaper from 20 March 2027.

If you mostly ski one side, the local pass is the better deal; if you want Avoriaz, Switzerland or a Portes du Soleil loop on several days, buy the full pass from the start.

Best time to ski Les Gets and Morzine: snow history, 2026–27 dates and forecasts

Historically, February to mid-March is the best snow window. At Météo-France's Les Gets station (1,172 m, close to village level), average snow depth over 1991–2020 peaks at about 52 cm in February, against 38 cm in January and 33 cm in March; higher up, the Les Gets 1,530 m station (about 24 winters of records, January–March only) averages about 76 cm in January, 108 cm in February and 115 cm in March. December and January bring the most new snow at village level (about 100 cm a month on average), so they are good shoulder months once the base is built; April is the weakest (7 cm average depth at 1,172 m). These are long-term averages — a SkiPair calculation from Météo-France daily station data — not a guarantee for any season.

For 2026–27, Les Gets–Morzine plans a partial opening on 12 December 2026, full opening on 19 December and closing on 11 April 2027 (some slopes may close earlier), while the Portes du Soleil runs from 19 December 2026 to 18 April 2027. In late season, the higher Nyon, Chamossière and Mont Chéry terrain usually keeps snow longer than the runs down to Morzine at about 1,000 m.

Before and during the trip, check the forecast and the live map for both the top and the bottom: a good depth at 2,000 m does not mean the runs back to the village are open.

Find ski partners in Les Gets and Morzine

Les Gets–Morzine works well for a solo trip: Geneva is close, buses reach both villages, and there is plenty for mixed groups — cruising blues at Les Chavannes, steeper reds and blacks on Mont Chéry and Nyon, and Avoriaz and Switzerland on the Portes du Soleil pass. On SkiPair, add your dates, base (Les Gets or Morzine) and level to find someone skiing the same days.

Agree in advance who has which pass (a Les Gets–Morzine pass stops at the Portes du Soleil boundary), where you meet — Les Chavannes or the top of the Pleney gondola are easy spots — and when to turn back so nobody misses the last lift or shuttle home.
