Les Gets or Megève?

Les Gets takes 4 of 9, with 3 too close to call. That still does not settle it — only the categories you care about count.

France

Les Gets

Morzine's quieter neighbour, prettier and better for families, on the same 600 km Portes du Soleil pass. The same low altitude too, which is the standing caveat on this whole valley.

Worth knowing. The same low altitude as Morzine, and the same standing risk.

France

Megève

A genuine medieval village that the Rothschilds turned into a resort, with the best restaurants and the worst altitude in the Haute-Savoie. Come for the town and the short transfer, not for a snow-sure March.

Worth knowing. The lowest altitude of anywhere at this price.

Bold marks the winner. Rows where neither is bold are close enough that the difference would not change a decision. Cost excludes travel, which depends on where you leave from.

Piste kilometres, lift counts and prices are indicative and compiled from public sources — they have not yet been checked against the resort's own figures for this season. Costs are planning estimates, not quotes. Spotted one that is wrong? Tell us.
