To get from Les Gets to Avoriaz on public transport you need to take 2 buses and a gondola. This cannot be avoided. It may sound like a lot but its actually pretty simple and quick. Alternatively you can ski between the two locations.
First you need to take a bus from Les Gets to Morzine. This is described above in detail but basically you need to take either Line 1 or Line 2 from Les Gets to the Super Morzine stop in Morzine town.
Once in Morzine you need to walk about 200m down Route de la Plagne (in the direction of the petrol station) to the tourist office. The bus stop for the Prodains Express bus is in front of the tourist office by the blue skier sculpture. Take "Line A" to the bottom station of the Prodains Express gondola. There is usually a bus every 10-15 minutes. It is free to get on.
The Prodains Express Gondola will then take you from the bottom of the valley up to Avoriaz Village. If you have a "Full Area" ski pass you can board this for free. If you just have a "Local Area" pass you will need to buy a pass to board the gondola.
To get from Les Gets to St Jean d'Aulps is the same as going from Les Gets to Morzine except you stay on the bus a little longer. You take the same buses and it is the same price. You can see more about this in the section above.
Both lines stop in St Jean d'Aulps at the tourist office. From there a free shuttle bus can take you to St Jean d'Aulps main lift station. This leaves once every hour.
