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.

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.

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.

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.

Had an amazing time with a last minute booking with Ski Weekends. The chalet and chalet staff were ideal and catered for our needs. Perfect for our 4 day getaway.

Les Arc or Meribel are better for snowboarders. Average slopes, nothing particularly exciting.
Accommodation was standard. Price was average-high.
Had a lovely boulangerie and a good Spar. Nice fondue place but not as exciting restaurant wise as meribel. Cheaper than meribel though.

We found it was great for kids - like going to Lapland with the horse drawn transport around the resort and everything was really well laid out.
