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.

Avoriaz is a massive ski resort, with a massive amount of skiable areas. You can head up the mountain, ski from France over to the Swiss side. Or down the way to the likes of Morzine. I’ve visited twice, and would love to visit again. There are two snow parks if that’s your thing, and iconic runs such as the Swiss wall. As well as plenty nice reds, blues, and even green runs. Great for the family, or for a trip with friends. The speed options are also great, with le follie Duce at more, the lower part of the mountains. As well as plenty cool bars and even a club nearer to all the hotels, in what they’d call the village. Always have a great time, would definitely recommend!

Was nice skiing in morning, but got bumpy and slushy after 1pm.
The blue runs were nice and varied, some harder than others. Beginners able to ski to igloo bar, who do a wonderful cheese n ham toastie. Plenty going on at apres ski, also a bowling alley and swimming pool. Great place for anyone any age.

As it was my 1st time on the slopes, I was really scared. Struggled on the button lifts, but staff was polite and patient enough to help guide me on the best techniques. Freshh plow day were the best and made the runs 10x better especially when falling. The blue slopes I don't think were too complex for a new boarder like myself. The greens were beautiful in terms of going down and soo picturesque. Some blues were better than others due to the width but over the weel I got used to it. The slope that goes back down to the entrance was really scary as its on a hill but, it was steep enough that I could stay inside and coast down. I think the restaurant options could've been better with their food. Some I believe were just heated up and served to us, but there were a few that was quite nice. The Apres were my favourite, good music and even greater entertainment. Overall a great trip for a first timeer and will definitely go again

Love Avoriaz for the ease of quick access from uk for a short break and great ski in/out chalets. Loads of runs so never get bored. Busy in school holidays though, so have to be ready for busy runs and queues at lifts.

Massive resort with more than enough slopes for most riders. Good variation of difficulties and the bulk of resort is well maintained even at the end of season when the weather is 10 degrees or more. There are loads of beginner slopes and ski schools in both morzine and Avoriaz, and all areas have a lot of long and calm runs. Getting around the town is quite easy but make sure you bring good footwear as the town is car free so you’re walking on snow. The restaurants get very busy and there isn’t a huge range of choice so you need to go early, or book. Other option is to cook as it seems like a lot of the apartments do have self catering. The great thing about most of the bars and hotel balconies is the views - from walking around the town it looks like most balconies are mountain facing.

There are smaller villages on the Swiss side, and st Jean on the French side was are only accessible by bus, but this means that if you want to stay in other towns in the ports du soleil you can probably a save a bit of money of accommodation and still have access to the full area.

Would definitely recommend for families, and those looking to clock of the miles!

My daughter and I got in a last minute ski trip to Avoriaz this Easter, and having been worried about the snow level I was so pleased with the amount of slopes and lifts open this late in the year! We had a great apartment and the town is so perfect that we are already talking about going back.

Visited Avoriaz to stay for the first time this year and can't wait to return. Located bang I'm the middle of the piste map ensures easy access to all of the area. Super friendly cosy village atmosphere and families welcomed. Glorious views and great conditions due to resort altitude. Even though we snowboard around 40 miles a day there is still a lot of terrain to discover that being said I can't wait to clip my board back on my feet to ride this area again.....!

Visited Avoriaz to stay for the first time this year and can't wait to go again. Location on the piste map is perfect for exploring the whole area. The atmosphere in Avoriaz is super friendly and families welcomed. Even though we managed around 40 miles a day there is still plenty to explore that in mind I would recommend and can't wait to clip my board back on feet here again......!

It didn’t snow while we were there but I think we just got unlucky, the resort was really nice and the sunsets were great.

Ski in ski out resort with great snow condition until the end of the season. The alters ski is great with a Folie at the base of one of the runs - walking substance for those who are not confident skiers or need a day resting.

Great resort, lots of different types of runs for all levels of skier/snowboarders. We stayed down in Morzine but came up to avoriaz every day and ventured over to Switzerland and down to chatel. We would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The village is absolutely mint. Skiing from your doorstep is a blast. People were very friendly.
The runs are unbelievable, the views are unbelievable, the vibe is unbelievable. I couldn't quite believe it...
The swiss wall was sick, snow parks were really cool, lifts weren't too busy as there's loads of options and they're all good quality.
I would definitely go again and feel confident my fiance would be happy being a less advanced skier as the options are varied enough and the blue runs are fun enough for experts.
