The Skiers' Guide to Avoriaz

Fantastic resort. An amazing selection of runs. Great atmosphere and lift efficiency. Great for all levels.

Had an excellent experience in Avoriaz! As a keen skier and somone wanting to develop my ability every time I go out, I felt that the runs in Avoriaz proved plenty of opportunities for me to progress and see a difference at the end of each day. As a collective my freinds and I (all 19 yo) believe that Avoriaz is great for not only the skiing but the affordability, efficiency around the resort and also the simplicity of travel with busses running regularly around the central gondola. All in all a pleasant experience and will be back there again in march this year. Pray for the snow to keep falling!

Best time ever! Great for all capabilities and the apres is amazing . Would recommend! We loved folie douche

We stayed at the Belambra the week before Xmas, so for them the first week of the season- We couldn't have asked for any more, so I would wholly recommend this hotel.
The snow conditions were good, as they'd had a good metre early in December, but towards the end of the week with days of sunshine (I know - awful!!) they could've done with a new dump - but most areas were open and very well pisted.
The one thing that caught us out, but soon figured out, was the no car zone - from the drop off zone, you either wait for a horse and carriage or a vehicle that takes oyu to your hotel or pay €1 for a tray to put your suitcases on & oull them to your accom. The horse and carriage etc costs €15 min so just to be aware of that.
The town centre has lovely shops, ski paraphernalia, sports shops, local cuisine, but the supermarket is also great for everything, including souvenirs. The restaurants looked lovely, but we were AI so didn't need to book these. There is an amazing (by all accounts) swimming centre and also skating rink.
Great resort for kids, with good green and blue runs into the town.
Hardly queued for any lift. Snow park wasn't fully built when we got there which was a bit disappointing, but only a couple of our party used it over the week.
All in all we would all recommend Avoriaz (unless you're allergic to horses!)

The runs are groomed excellently, the lifts are working well and efficient. Food on the alps are good, and friendly staff

Avoriaz is a great snow sure option and quite expansive in that you can ski to Switzerland from theere. On the downside is does get pretty busy in peak holiday times. Some varied runs to suit all abilities .

Absolutely love Avoriaz, been mulitple times over the last 15 years and alway got snow due to height unlike other parts of main morzine. Will be visiting again next year. Plenty of variation, loads of runs and very central

Considering the time I went there could’ve been more snow hence some of my starting but I had such a great time and everyone was friendly. Really enjoyed and would love to visit again and get the full experience of the ski in and out

I visited during Snowbox so my experience is possibly bias because that event was going on. Apres ski was good and the town has a good variety of food options. Accommodation is limited to hotels rather than chalets so something to bear in mind. Good variety of runs but of course be careful to avoid the Snowbox week if you don’t want it to be as crowded. I would go back just not during the festival as I found it too tiring to ski in the day and attend the music events at night- but maybe I am just too old haha! The village is very quaint and the horse and carriage transport was a new experience.

We went skiing as a couple. We stayed for 3 nights. Avoriaz was a lovely little town, with plenty of food options and great apres. We are quite new to skiing options but we loved the skiing around the town.

Excellent area for all levels.
Loved the Ski in and Ski out
Recommend Ski lessons
Great location for families

Avoriaz slaps haaaaaaaaaaaaard
Will be going back asap
Great for everyone :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

A great resort with traditional features. Ski in, ski out for most accommodation and it's a "no car" resort which is fab! The runs are okay, better variety on the wider ski pass. It's not a particularly "sunny" resort. The apres is fantastic and there are some really nice restaurants in the village. There was a light show festival through the village one night too which was great and I believe is a regular thing.

Great trip with plenty of varied skiing across multiple countries. Lots of food and apres options which provides a good balance to your ski trip.

Great place to learn as I had a great instructor. Ski to door is fantastic and plenty of different runs for all abilities

Avoriaz is easy to get to, ski in ski out, and has great après ski. It is linked to portes des soleil ski area which is huge and a great ski area.

Visited Avoriaz 6 years in a row and loved every minute. Beautiful location, great snow, lots of options for slopes, fun snow parks, good choice for food and drink, everything really for a good holiday!

After visiting morzine/Avoriaz a few years back I’ve now been back every year.
It’s pretty much exactly what everyone wants in a snow holiday.
Short transfers, great snow, lots of variety, great bars & food, lovely town, easy to get around, decent prices.

Avoriaz was a great resort, i am fairly new to snowboarding as I have only been away once for a week in les arcs but avoriaz was amazing, was not very busy on the slopes in the beginning of april which was great as we were both still pretty new, I took my 15 year old nephew for his birthday he absolutely loved it, good restaurants and bars a great place for people just starting out. Will definitely be coming back.

Avoriaz was a gorgeous car free resort with beautiful traditional ski chalets and buildings. Resort staff were friendly and helpful with a great night life and means of transport late into the night via horse and cart or by snowmobile. The slopes were easily accessible and well signposted, with lots of options for ski hire. we have a wonderful time and I would visit again.
