Multipass (summer)
The Portes du Soleil's tourist offices offered several multipasses in 2018 and we hope they will do so this year. Our guests are entitled to the €9/day pass to access a variety of local chairlifts, tennis courts, swimming pools, buses (including the bus to Morzine from St Jean) and even the Museum of Mechanical Music in Les Gets. It's a pay-as-you-go pass so you only pay for the days you want to use it.
These offers vary from year to year, so talk to the people at the tourist office 200 metres up the road.
