What Skiers Say About Avoriaz

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.

Helped by a big snowfall a few days before arrival, conditions were excellent. With a full PDS pass you can ski uninterrupted between France and Switzerland to catch the slopes at the best time of day.

We visited avoriaz in Dec 2025 for the second time, first time in Dec 2020 as a couple and during the latest trip as a family of 4. Avoriaz doesn't disappoint, lifts run well and operating stuff if so efficient and friendly. We loved variety of slopes for all levels and abilities. There is plenty of different type accommodation, we stayed in serviced apartments and it was very well equipped and most of all, we loved ski-in ski-out in avoriaz. We really enjoyed our visit to the Aquarius (spa), although it was quite crowded in there. Food was brilliant at the restaurants we visit (saying that quite pricey). Overall it was fantastic family experience and children can't wait for us to book next ski trip!

Really lovely ski in ski out town. Great food options. Follie douce is good. Went in jan. very heavy snow fall. Only complaint is swimming pools are cold. They don’t heat them very well.

Great ski area, you cannot go wrong for all levels, and you cannot possibly ski everything there is so much. Good Apres ski, good options, something for everyone

After spending years being spoilt in Val Disere, finding Avoriaz was a dream. It’s close to Geneva, the runs are great and varied, with a vast network of lifts. The apres and great, as with places to go in the evening. The village is so cute and will always go back for more.

Charming, beautiful and all round great skiing. Proclou is a brilliant run for beginners while the rest of the resort is made up of mainly fairy difficult blues.

Good ski resort, plenty to do in town in terms of bars and restaurants. Lovely slopes, could get busy at times. Some days they were not as well groomed as others. Perfect for intermediate skiers

Great place. Going back as soon as I can. Snow is great all season. Ski in and out. Ski direct to Switzerland, and Chatel. Quick 5 min bus ride to Morzine and Les Ges and a brilliant red/blue run down to the bus.

Great resort with access to both France and Switzerland ski areas. Little pricey but stunning and lots of variety of ski runs. Lively apres but not overly party atmosphere

Our trip in Feb was the best yet and our second to Avoriaz. We stayed down in midst of the restaurants and shops which proved a great location, ski in/ski out. Lots of great places to eat and Apres Ski. The snow was epic this year with 2M of snow falling whilst we were on holiday. We return in December and can’t wait!

Great resort for late ski holiday in early April. Still had plenty of snow as so high up but beautiful sunshine. Plenty of options for all levels from absolute beginners to advanced skiers. Not too busy. Great indoor aqua park for the kids after skiing. Quiet in the town in the evenings while we were there so wax way to get restaurant table at all times. Good lunchtime and Apres skill on the slopes at Yete bar and Folie Douce. Excellent carrefour in town centre for food and drink for self catering. Ski in ski out resort and lots of accommodation everywhere. I would say the town centre is quite small though just one Main Street of restaurants. Would defo go back.
