COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Geneva Airport to Les Gets
Les Gets is one of the shorter French ski-resort drives from Geneva Airport. The official tourism site puts it around 55 km from the airport and lists an airport-to-coach-station service. The village has several ski access points, so a coach stop in the centre may be convenient for some hotels and a long walk with ski cases for others. Compare the precise arrival stop, departure frequency and cost of a direct vehicle for your group.
Les Gets has both central lift departures and quieter accommodation areas; the named resort is not one single drop-off.

KNOW YOUR DESTINATIONMARKED PISTES120 km across the local Les Gets–Morzine ski area ALTITUDEVillage roughly 1,170 m; skiing reaches higher ridges
Skiing in Les Gets: areas, altitude and pistes
Les Gets has access to the local Les Gets–Morzine ski area and the wider Portes du Soleil with the appropriate pass. The local 120 km figure should not be confused with the full cross-border network. Its village location can work well for families, but the best lift depends on the side of town where you stay.
Which ski area should you choose?
Les Chavannes
Main family-oriented village departure with access toward the Morzine side of the local network.
Mont Chéry
A separate sector above the village; check lift hours and the return to your accommodation.
Portes du Soleil connections
Wider skiing across French and Swiss resorts requires the appropriate pass and open links.
Piste difficulty: The Chavannes side includes progression terrain and family skiing. Mont Chéry has its own slopes and a different village departure; check the current piste map for blue, red and black runs before choosing a lesson or group meeting place.
After the transfer: Ask your accommodation whether Chavannes, Mont Chéry or a ski-bus stop is closest before choosing the coach drop-off.
