Les Gets / Ski area

Les Gets is made up of the popular Chavannes Bowl and the quieter Mont-Cheri.

The Les Gets ski area is divided into two main sectors; the popular Chavannes Bowl and the quieter Mont-Cheri.

The Chavannes Bowl
The Chavannes Bowl is the main objective for most skiers and is filled with blues, reds and some blacks off a number of high capacity lifts. A new addition is easy access to the micro-area of La Turche – whose tree lined runs can be a delight on a powder day. From here you access the rest of the Portes du Soleil via Chamossiere, Nyon, Morzine and beyond.

Mont-Cheri
For a quieter and possibly more challenging day, across town is the Mont Cheri bubble. It lifts you above south facing slopes, sometimes skiable, onto Mont Cheri itself. The southern slopes are wide open red and blues, where the ski club often races and trains and with a decent snowpark. The older eastern lift brings you back to the summit from a straightforward red or a bumpy, narrow and steep black. On the north face you have again a good red and a great wide, bumpy black pitch leading to the Col d’Ancrenaz. Out of high season and in good snow Mont Cheri can be an unpisted playground.
