Runs by difficulty

  • blue 96.3 km
  • red 69.1 km
  • black 22.9 km

The split comes from OpenStreetMap. A run with no difficulty tag falls into none of the three bars, so they can add up to less than the resort total.

The colours under the axis show school-holiday traffic per week of winter 2026/2027, from the holidays chapter — the curve is a long-term average, the traffic is this one season. A green band marks a quiet week in a month with at least 70 % of the snowiest month’s snowfall. This season: 7 Dec – 20 Dec, 11 Jan – 31 Jan.

This is snowfall, not snow depth on the slope: it says how much usually falls in a given month, not how much lies there. The measuring point sits close to the valley floor, so higher up it snows more.

Places to stay by the lift

Distance is measured in a straight line to the base station of the nearest lift. No booking site publishes that number — it comes from matching accommodation against lift geometry.

  • 30 within 300 m
  • 123 within 1 km
  • 227 places in the valley

The closest one stands 45 m from a lift.

Is Les Gets – Morzine (Portes du Soleil) worth it?

Les Gets and neighbouring Morzine are the French gateway to the Portes du Soleil — one of the largest cross-border ski areas in the Alps, spread between France and Switzerland. Les Gets and Morzine themselves form a distinct, wooded sector with a gentle character, from which you can ride deeper into the domain or stay put if calm, tree-lined slopes are enough.

In our measurement from OpenStreetMap the Les Gets–Morzine sector alone comes to about 139 km of pistes, inside a far larger Portes du Soleil whole. The balance leans to easy and intermediate; there is little that is steep, which makes this sector a comfortable starting point for families and less confident skiers.

The slopes lie at moderate altitude, between about 987 and 1,826 m, and much of the skiing runs through forest, so snow depends more on weather here than at high glacier resorts. The season usually runs from December to April.

We give the ski pass as a six-day adult ticket for the Les Gets–Morzine sector: €199 from the resort's rate list (checked 13 August 2026); a wider Portes du Soleil pass costs more. Check prices with the operator before you travel. The drive from Poland: about 1,271 km from Wrocław, 1,432 from Katowice, 1,507 from Kraków.
