As a 16 year old, I have been coming here for min 3 weeks every year, it is my absolute favourite ski resort in the world having skied in multiple continents, not only is it home to the steepest slope in the world, chavanette, but also there is a huge presence of family friendly skiing which over wide long runs between valleys, its 600km of pistes are perfect for every range of skier and my family love it enough to have bought a place in a nearby village, the accommodation is second to none in the Portes du soleil area and one can opt to stay in nearby villages which have quick access to lifts

Avoriaz is a good resort for anyone. It has a good mixture of runs and is great for beginners like me but also advanced skiers like who I was with. There are restaurants and the apres ski as well as snow park and other activities to be involved with.

Did a ski season there, its super connected to the other resorts, its got great views, slopes and variety. Heading over into chatel for great moguls or morzine for nice family areas. The only problem is the night life is not great for party goers compared to other resorts and eating out is not great as theres not any restaurants in budget range

I love the ski in-ski out vibe! Loads of services available in the village. The slopes are always well groomed/maintained even during spring skiing. Chair lifts tend to be a bit busier during holidays - as expected. Fab route straight over into the Swiss alps, which has more advanced skiing in places - Swiss Wall. Would recommend staying in avoriaz, with its friendly vibe and a variety of different routes!

Avoriaz is a ski in ski out resort with no cars and plenty of places to eat and drink. It's part of the portes du soleil so you will never run out of terrain to ski. It has two freestyle parks and the stash which is a natural freestyle park that runs between the trees. More fun than you can have in any ski resort and at 1800m the snow is good late into the year.

Good conditions are normal in Avoriaz, even this year! The main problem is that it gets crowded when the snow is poor elsewhere.
Part of the huge Portes du Soleil ski area. You can ski into Switzerland or over to Chatel, Morzine and Les Gets.
Not as pricey as Val d'Isere and Courcheval and not as stuck up either.
There is often good off-piste but it's not totally reliable.

Resort can get very busy if lack of snow in Morzine or Les Gets. But gives great options to ski across into Switzerland
