With 197 lifts, 49 of these are located in Morzine and Les Gets. There are 64 slopes to ski in total (five green, 23 blue, 27 red and nine black).

The lifts marked on the piste map using straight black lines are of four types; button tow/drag, chair, télécabine and télépherique. They have the corresponding abbreviations:

  • TK - téléski (drag)
  • TS - télésiege (chair)
  • TC - télécabine (gondola)
  • TPH - téléphérique (cable car)

For télécabine think gondola and for téléphérique think cable car. Anything prefixed/suffixed with “Express” means a six person modern fast chairlift.

Find out about the Ski Pass Options and the Ski Pass Prices before venturing on the lifts in the winter and check out the lift pass offers to see if you can make any savings when booking in advance.

Find the location of all the lifts on our maps page and keep an eye on live lift status to see what's open or read more about the whole Ski Area.

In the summer the lift system is open and you can enjoy the Morzine and Portes du Soleil area. The whole region has 24 lifts open throughout the summer season; they are used by mountain bikers, walkers, climbers, paragliders and those who wish to enjoy the fantastic views.

Lift Access and Restrictions

There are only a few lift restrictions to the Morzine lift system. It's always worth checking these restrictions before you set off up the mountain and follow them where they apply.

The main access lifts; Pléney, Ardent, Super Morzine and Prodains can be used by pedestrians and skiers and snowboarder to go up and down. The remainder of the lifts are not available to pedestrians and none of the other lifts can be ridden down the hill, only up. In the summer all the open lifts can be used by pedestrians for travel both up and down.

There are not many restrictions to the lift system in Avoriaz in the winter - Wheelchair access is restricted to cable cars only with no access on gondolas or chairlifts. Pedestrians, Paragliders/parapentes and dogs are allowed on all cable cars, gondolas and chairlifts. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. Babies are allowed on all cable cars and gondolas (Pléney and Super Morzine in summer) but not on the chairlifts. It's not recommended to expose babies to sudden changes in altitude or temperature - if lift staff consider your child too young to travel on certain lifts they reserve the right to refuse you entry.

Check the live status of the lifts before you set out as restrictions are more often imposed by the weather than the lift company.
