An exceptional ski area: Les Portes du Soleil

From Les Gets, you have direct access to a boundless playground. The Les Gets ski area is linked to that of Morzine, offering dozens of varied runs set amongst fir forests and offering magnificent panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif. For those who want to make the most of it, the links allow you to travel on skis through the 12 Franco-Swiss resorts of Les Portes du Soleil.

For families and beginners

Awarded the ‘Famille Plus’ label, the resort of Les Gets is a true paradise for children and skiers just learning the ropes. The Chavannes area is brimming with fully secure play zones, such as the Territoire du Grand Cry (a themed Native American village) and the Mauve Milka run. The wide, gentle slopes allow you to improve your skills in complete peace of mind, set against a backdrop of unspoilt natural scenery.

For experts and thrill-seekers

• The Mont Chéry area: This is the ideal spot for experienced skiers. Off the beaten track and unspoilt, it offers technical red and black runs, excellent powder spots after snowfall and breathtaking views of Mont Blanc.
• Freestyle and alternative snow sports: Make the most of the resort’s well-equipped snowparks, get away from it all on a ski tour along the marked routes, or experience the thrill of night skiing on the resort’s floodlit slopes.

Expert tip: The wooded and varied terrain of Les Gets offers excellent protection from the wind and ensures superb snow quality. Our INTERSPORT technicians in Les Gets prepare your equipment with the utmost precision. They adjust the waxing and base structure to guarantee perfect manoeuvrability on the groomed snow in the morning and a smooth glide through the pine trees in the afternoon.
