The Skiers' Guide to Avoriaz

Went just before Easter and was really lucky with the snow as it arrived late. Stayed in Morzine with Hubert at a catered chalet which was fab for solos . Food on the mountain was good with the normal French ski classics done well. Given it was the last week of the season the slopes were quiet until the weekend.

Had a really good time in Avoriaz, lots of slopes for intermediate and beginners in our party, and some nice, smaller runs with trees either side that were beautiful and made a change from big, open runs.
Good selection of lifts, nice resort.

Fun place to go ski! Very picturesque and nice place to stay, with a large ski area to explore full of so many runs for all abilities.

Great resort for first time and intermediate skiers loads of slopes and great food and drink options! Had the best trip here!!

Avoriaz is nestled at the top of the mountain coming up the valley from Morzine - pedestrian only (apart from the odd horse drawn sled to dodge) so everything is ski in ski out. It's purpose built, so it doesn't appeal to those who love the cutesy traditional french resorts, but there's plenty of restaurants, nightlife and of course the ubiquitous Folie Douce to keep you entertained.
Visit Village Les Chevres (if you can find it) for the cutesy lunch vibe, and the tree-lined Combe de Florets run and then all the way on down to the Ardent telecabine for a long leg burning run.
Tackle the Swiss wall if you've got the urge, otherwise sit at the cafe at the top and laugh at all the skiers who think they know how to do moguls. You can always do the chairlift for the lazy way down. It's stomach-churningly enough. Skiing on the Swiss side tends to be quieter, but less snow sure and if easy gentle quiet skiin is your thing, Super Morzine is the spot to go. The resort does get annoyingly busy, especially the lift at the bottom of town, Tour, so be prepared for long waits there. Visit Chez Flo for the best croque monsieur in town on the way for enough energy to wait out the queue!

Honestly one of my favourite ski resorts I’ve visited. Went last year and came again just because we really enjoyed it. The ease of access being ski in and out is perfect and the ability to ski into so many areas.

Really enjoyed it overall! Was a white out on our last day and visibility wasn’t great but we made the most of it! Ski in ski out was a game changer, will defo be back again in January next year! Lots of places to eat, wish there was more cafes on the slopes! Really enjoyed it and will defo be back!

We stayed in a recently renovated hotel which was just two lifts away from the main strip. Took us 5 minutes to get to the lifts in avoriaz. We found our favourite restaurant and just ate there all the time. We were so fortunate with the weather and snow too - clear skies and fresh snow

Based at the top of the resort, the views were amazing. Atmosphere was great over Christmas. Snow was good and 50/50 mix of low-vis and bluebird days gave a wide range of skiing opportunities. With open slopes and tree-lined pistes to choose from, there was something for everyone. Highly recommend.

We loved Avoriaz. As a family with two teenage boys aged 18 and 13 there was something for everyone. A brilliant snow park and off piste for my 18 year old. Easy green runs for my husband who is a beginner and beautiful, well kept blue and red runs for my intermediate 14 year old and myself. We stayed in a beautiful chalet which had easy, convenient access to chair lifts. Great options for meals, and reasonable prices at local shops. We had a few lessons with instructors from Peak Snow sports who are absolutely brilliant and brought back my passion for skiing. An unforgettable holiday.

Morzine/Avoriaz is one of the best ski/board areas I've stayed in, having visited multiple years in a row. Perfect for couples and groups of friends of mixed abilities looking for adventures around the Portes du Soleil, including trying jumps/boxes in the snow parks and off-piste. There are plenty of amazing restaurants, bars and clubs for lunch breaks and apres.

Wonderful family resort. I went with a mate around Christmas time and it was magical. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting

Brilliant ski holiday with family, excellent variety runs, lots of lifts covering all areas. Plenty of snow. Not too busy. Lots of bars & restaurants, great atmosphere. Felt very safe & no traffic was a bonus.
Would love to return, this is a dream prize. Wish me luck!

I had a fantastic time, with great skiing and a great instructor. The weather was fun and we were located really close to La Folie Douce - great for Apres-Ski. I wish I had stayed longer. The chalet we stayed in was placed in the heart of Avoriaz. Lovely hosts and super nice people we shared the chalet with! Great experience. Would go back there.

Amazing resort ski in ski out everywhere massive ski area plenty to do on and off the slopes.
And of course great apres

We had a fantastic time staying in Avoriaz. Being able to snowboard in and out was so great. The resort is really well maintained and friendly.

Great time. Would recommend to anyone - new skiers or advanced. very family friendly. Snow good all season.

Fantastic resort. Well organised event. Decent standard accomodation. Well pisted runs. Highly recommend

From start to finish the week we spent as a family was filled with fun. There is something for everyone in the group, from nervous beginners to our adventurous more advanced teens.

Amazing resort so good for families ski and ski out very relaxing gotta go again no cars fantastic aquatic centre you can't go wrong!
