What is Jaillet Gondola

The Jaillet gondola links the village of Megève (~1,113 m) to the Jaillet plateau at 1,585 m altitude in just a few minutes. Operated by SEM du Jaillet / Les Portes du Mont-Blanc, it is the gateway in winter to the Portes du Mont-Blanc ski area (Megève, Combloux, Cordon, La Giettaz). The lower station is at 821 route du Jaillet, with free 7-hour parking.

In summer, the top of the lift opens onto a free panoramic play area facing Mont Blanc, with trampolines, climbing structures and swings. Family trails leave directly from the top station: the Lac du Jaillet loop (20 minutes), the Col du Jaillet with its Roman granite milestone discovered in 1964, and a route through the woods to Combloux. Mountain-bike trails and the Giant Swing round out the summer offer.

2026 prices: adult return around EUR 18-22, child EUR 12-15. Season: mid-December to mid-April (winter) and mid-June to early September (summer). Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily in season. Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility (top station and summit play area).
