The ski area
Morzine and Les Gets share one sector of 120 km with 74 runs (4 green, 33 blue, 28 red and 9 black) and 50 lifts, between 1,000 and 2,019 m. From Morzine the Pléney gondola climbs to the ridge that links to Les Gets; on the other side of the valley the Super Morzine lift leads towards Avoriaz. Most of the skiing is through forest and over gentle shoulders, with wide blues around Les Gets and the Chavannes sector that are ideal for families.
The Portes du Soleil pass unlocks 600 km across 12 resorts in France and Switzerland. The 2026/2027 season runs from 19 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.
Who is Morzine–Les Gets for?
This is one of the best areas in France for a first family ski holiday. Les Gets is small, quiet and has excellent children’s facilities; Morzine is a lively market town with bars, restaurants and a famous après-ski scene. Beginners and intermediates have everything they need on the doorstep, and stronger skiers can head to Avoriaz and the Swiss side for steeper terrain. Snow reliability is the one honest caveat: at this altitude, pick your week carefully.
Practical
Morzine is the easy option from Belgium: about 770 km and 7.5 hours, almost all motorway, with no serious mountain road at the end. Geneva airport is 75 km away, so a long weekend by plane is perfectly feasible. Buy your lift pass online for the cheaper rate, and check whether your chalet is within walking distance of the Pléney or Super Morzine lifts.
