Les Gets Ski Pass: Coverage, Duration and Booking Choices
Compare Les Gets-Morzine and Portes du Soleil ski pass coverage, duration and age categories, plus how the purchase channel changes what you pay.
On this page
Choosing a Les Gets ski pass starts with one question that outranks every price table: how much linked terrain will you genuinely use? The local Les Gets-Morzine pass covers the two villages and their shared lifts, while the Portes du Soleil pass adds the wider cross-border network. Deciding that boundary first stops you paying for terrain you never reach.
Duration then shapes cost and flexibility. Les Gets sells single days, five-consecutive-hour passes, weekends, consecutive multi-day blocks and season passes, each with its own rate logic. Web rates are generally lower than cashier rates for the same product, so where you buy matters as much as what you buy.
The Coverage Decision: Les Gets-Morzine or Portes du Soleil
The Les Gets-Morzine pass is the local product: it covers the Les Gets and Morzine lift systems, including the Chavannes sector above Les Gets and the Pleney side above Morzine. The Portes du Soleil pass extends that access into the wider linked network of French and Swiss resorts. For a short trip built around Les Gets village, the local pass is usually the rational default.
The wider network is described by Portes du Soleil as a large linked area of more than 300 runs served by over 200 lifts, connecting twelve resorts across the French-Swiss border. That scale only pays off if you plan to move between sectors rather than lap one valley. If your days are short and your group is mixed-ability, the honest calculation often favours the local pass and a single exploration day.
What Each Pass Area Actually Covers
Les Gets-Morzine products are priced on official pages for the 2026-27 winter season, with separate tables for online web rates and ticket-office cashier rates. The pass is sold by duration band: one day, five consecutive hours, two to five days, six days, seven days and over, Saturday, and weekend. Two-day and longer products are for consecutive days, so a rest day mid-trip does not extend the window.
The pedestrian pass is a separate product for non-skiers and covers the Chéry, Chavannes and Pleney gondolas plus the Nyon cable car, with one-way, return, multi-ride card and season versions. Reading which lifts a walking pass includes is more useful than assuming it mirrors the ski pass. Group composition should drive this choice before any skiing-specific add-ons.
Duration Formats and Where Web and Cashier Rates Diverge
For winter 2026-27, the one-day adult Les Gets-Morzine pass is published at 50 euros online and 56 euros at the cashier, and the six-day adult product at 276 euros online against 312 euros at the cashier. Those gaps are consistent across most duration bands on the official tables, which makes the purchase channel a real budget line rather than a rounding difference. Five-consecutive-hour passes exist for shorter sessions, and weekend or Saturday products sit outside the standard day rate.
The Portes du Soleil pass is priced higher because it covers more ground: official tables show a one-day adult rate and a six-day adult rate that step up above the Les Gets-Morzine equivalents. The trade-off is straightforward: pay for breadth only if your itinerary uses it. Checking both tables side by side before booking prevents buying network access you will not ski.
Age Bands and Reduced Rates
Official Les Gets tables use four main price columns: adult, child aged 5 to 15, young person aged 16 to 25, and senior aged 65 to 74. Children under 5 are listed as free, and a separate reduced category exists for people aged over 75. Proof of age is required for the youngest and oldest concessions, so carry documentation rather than relying on appearance at the cashier.
A family discount of 10 percent applies to groups of four or more buying passes of four days or more, provided the duration and area match and it is paid in a single transaction. Reduced rates for disabled skiers are tied to a specific card rather than a general declaration. Both are eligibility conditions you should confirm against the season's published terms before you travel, not assume.
Beginner and Limited-Area Passes
The P'tite Glisse pass is the deliberately restricted product: official pages describe it as covering 12 lifts and 13 runs made up of six green, six blue and one red. That is a defined terrain package, not a judgment about ability, and it is cheaper than a full-area product. If your group will stay within those easier sectors, buying full network access is money spent on lifts you will not ride.
The beginner pass is even narrower: it covers two magic carpets, two snow wires and a return trip on the Chavannes cable car within the Les Gets ski area. This suits a first-day learner who is not yet riding lifts independently. Deciding whether to start on a limited pass and upgrade later depends on how quickly your group progresses, so compare the upgrade cost before day one.
Buying Online, Collecting, and Season Deadlines
Season pass benefits are tied to purchase channel: official Les Gets pages state that perks such as referral vouchers, free summer passes and partner-resort discovery days apply only to season passes bought online, not at the ticket office. The Super Senior pass is excluded from those benefits. If you plan more than a couple of weeks on snow, that distinction is worth factoring into the purchase decision.
Portes du Soleil season passes are published with staged early-purchase deadlines and prices that rise after each one, and the free under-12 season pass requires simultaneous purchase alongside an adult full Portes du Soleil season or annual pass, with proof of direct descent. Whether any given lift, link or piste will operate remains conditional regardless of pass purchased. A hands-free card system is in use across the Portes du Soleil, and the operator publishes its card terms separately.
Plan Your Pass Before You Travel
Match coverage to your realistic itinerary, then match duration to your actual ski days. The Les Gets-Morzine pass suits a village-based trip; the Portes du Soleil pass only earns its premium if you cross sectors. For beginners, the P'tite Glisse and beginner products offer a lower-cost entry point rather than a compromise.
Buy online where the rate is lower, and check the current season's age bands, proof requirements and discount conditions on the official Les Gets pass pages before payment. For a wider benchmark on how French resort pass structures compare, the Alpe d'Huez ski pass page shows a different area's approach. None of this guarantees snow or terrain, so treat the published season as conditional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a Les Gets ski pass at the ticket office?
Yes. Official Les Gets tables publish both web rates and cashier rates for the same products. The cashier rate is higher for most duration bands, so buying online and collecting on arrival usually costs less. Confirm the current season's collection method on the official pass pages before departure.
Does the Les Gets-Morzine pass include Portes du Soleil terrain?
No. The Les Gets-Morzine pass covers the Les Gets and Morzine lift systems, while the Portes du Soleil pass adds the wider linked network of French and Swiss resorts. Choose the local pass if you will mostly ski around the two villages, and the network pass only if your plans use that breadth.
Is there a cheaper pass for beginners in Les Gets?
Yes. The P'tite Glisse pass covers a defined set of 12 lifts and 13 runs, and the beginner pass covers magic carpets, snow wires and a Chavannes cable-car return. Both are deliberately narrower than the full-area product and suit skiers staying in easier sectors.
Do children and seniors pay less for a Les Gets ski pass?
Official tables list child, young person and senior columns, with under-fives free and a separate over-75 concession. Proof of age is required for the youngest and oldest categories. Check the current season's age bands and conditions before you buy.
