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.

Have been going to Les Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz for many years and it never tires. Most recently skied Avoriaz towards the end of the season and the snow was still great and would recommend it for all levels of abilities. Great restaurants and the apres is lively.

Avoriaz is one of my favorite ski resorts, it's one of the closest to Geneva (1hr and 4min drive), pedestrian resort, ski in and ski out, everything in town is close, you have great variety of restaurants. Its part of the Porte du Soleil so lots of runs to do. You will not be bored. Also very good for beginners, long green and easy blues

I visited during Snowboxx. With full area lift pass you have literally 100s of KM of pistes. The Folie Douce is unrivalled. And there’s plenty of bars and clubs to choose from.

Bottom of lifts and main runs are busy. Avoid entirely during school holidays. Exclusive for those that can afford it but very good quality if possible

Nice big ski in ski out area. Lots of food options all over the mountain and in the town. The apres is good at the folie. Good access to supermarkets. I would say the snow is good but it starts to melt outside the hotels and in the town so you can’t ski in ski out properly. Great for beginners. Easy map to follow.

Have been to avoriaz two years in a row. Fantastic resort for beginners, lots of blue runs and have managed to really practice my skiing both times, even skiing to Switzerland on my second visit which was great fun! It’s ski in ski out and it’s an absolutely stunning resort. We stayed in the accommodation called Cap Niege and I would really recommend location wise, close to shops and bars. Trying a different resort next year but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

I’ve been to Avoriaz twice and upcoming third time. It’s been a favourite because of many things - the option of having a full Porte du soleil lift pass, it’s based high up so there’s still decent snow at the end of March, there’s great après and restaurants, it’s a car-free resort, and it’s beautiful. The snow parks are fantastic too.

My first time in Avoriaz was a great experience! I visited during the Snowbox festival! As a beginner there was plenty of runs to choose from, even managed to do a couple of reds by the end of the trip!

Avoriaz was the perfect resort for us and our young family. It was small enough to walk around, ski school was excellent and the ski area was fantastic, vast and beautiful. If you want to come crazy partying this perhaps isn’t the resort for you, but for a more relaxed break for families it was just perfect. It’s also great they have no cars and you’re collected on a sleigh - magical for the kids!

An excellent family friendly resort. Everywhere ski in / out. Follie Douce is awesome for apres. Lots of choice of restaurants. New Year’s Eve with DJs on the slopes and an amazing fireworks display was epic!
