What is Mont-Chéry Gondola

The Mont-Chéry gondola is a 6-person lift operated by SOLEGETS at Les Gets (74260). It connects the village centre (1,162 m) to the Mont-Chéry summit (1,535 m) in 5 minutes, with a 373 m vertical rise and a throughput of about 1,200 people per hour. Built in 1981 and upgraded, it allows both uphill and downhill passenger travel — less common than gondolas that only carry guests uphill. The lower station sits 200 m from the village centre, next to the main parking areas.

Mont-Chéry is the quieter north-facing flank of Les Gets, celebrated for its 360° panorama spanning the Mont Blanc massif, the Aravis range, Lac Léman and the Dents du Midi. In summer, its MTB trails host the UCI MTB World Cup every late August. Two mountain restaurants (Le Belvédère and Les Chevrelles) are open in season, and a marked paragliding take-off is located at the summit.

When to visit

When to visit

In summer, Mont-Chéry suits hikers seeking peace and panoramas — quieter than the Chavannes sector. The UCI MTB World Cup in late August brings crowds and suspends MTB access on this flank from 24 August. In winter, the north-facing aspect holds snow longer and offers a calmer alternative to the busier main sectors of Les Gets-Morzine.
Events : UCI Mountain Bike World Cup (DH + Enduro) — annually late August. MTB access on the TC Mont-Chéry is suspended during the event.
