Avoriaz Review Summary

Avoriaz attracts a wide range of abilities, from beginners to experts, with many families and groups visiting. Reviewers consistently mention the ski-in/ski-out convenience, car-free village with horse-drawn transport, and access to the large Portes du Soleil area including Switzerland. Snow conditions are generally described as reliable due to altitude, though lower runs can become slushy or icy in afternoons. The après-ski scene, particularly La Folie Douce, is frequently praised. Accommodation is often noted as expensive or basic, and lift queues can be significant during UK and French school holidays.

Great ski terrain with a huge area. Avoid the uk and French school holidays for quieter slopes. Try to explore the wider Port du Soleis as there are some amazing views and great days out to be had!

Amazing scenery, greats runs. Perfect for hitting the slopes with your team. I didn't find a restaurant that had bad food, La Cabane was fantastic and for your evening head to the place.

Avoriaz is a great place to go skiing , it’s high enough that the snow is consistent. This last trip was as the sunniest week I’ve ever skied and the snow on piste was great. Unfortunately of piste due to a big dump of snow just before arrival wasn’t great - crusty with ice.
Great atmosphere in avoriaz with light shows, skate park evenings and the magical horse transport with no cars.

The apartment always basic, more hotels are required. Food was incredibly reasonable, and good. Slopes were perfect as was the Folie.

A great resort for families with easy ski in ski out access, nearby ski school and a brilliant pedestrianised purpose built village.

The snow cover was thin but rideable in the Avoriaz area but the majority of Morzine and Le Gets were closed . All snow parks were closed due to a medical strike at the time but what made up for all of these factors was the incredible appreciation ski at the folly douce ever night . I'd recommend the Irish bar in town, they pour a great Guinness although the bar did smell a bit funky!
Unreal sunsets over the mountains really make this place stand out. Would fully recommend.

Having Skied extensively over the Alps I keep finding myself coming back to the PDS. It's variety of slopes, parks and proximity to Geneva make this one of my favourites. Only downside is Avoriaz scrapping the Halfpipe.

We love skiing in Avoriaz The low rating for the restaurants is mainly because we did not book and we were a large party. We loved The Folie Douche and the bars.The skiing was fabulous and we had perfect conditions.
