Avoriaz Reviews & Ratings

As an experienced skier who had never been to Avoriaz before it was an amazing experience. The slopes were well kept and there was a wide variety of slopes for people of all capability. I went with a group of family and friends, some of us were more experienced than others but we still managed to get around together which is very important. We found a few snowpacks which were very fun and we used pretty much every day. I would 100% go back and can’t wait for my next ski trip

Great Place. Easy to navigate and great for a trip with beginners. We loved it and the evenings were great with lots of different restaurants and bars to go to.

Love my time here. Beautiful ski area for groups of all kinds. We went with a mixed group of elite and beginner skiers and everyone was happy! Delicious food and friendly staff - highly recommend.

Avoriaz was great for a lads holiday. Great skiing, great weather and great apres. Recommend getting the Swiss ski pass as well to explore both sides.

Love avoriaz it’s beautiful but expensive. Amazing to ski in and out but there’s more to do in Morzine and i’d also recommend Châtel which has amazing slopes and is also a part of portes du soleil

Lovely accommodation and places to eat out. Good piste but busy and queues take a bit of time. I am a total beginner and did I picked it up quite well in a short time and would really recommend overall!

Great runs, good weather, comfortable lifts but larger queues than other resorts, good accommodation with ski in/ski out, absolutely incredible apres.

Had a really great time with my family. Great location and caught the end of the season there, my friend Flo who met there was absolutely class!

Avoriaz is a compact, fully ski-in, ski-out resort. There are no cars in the resort and you can get lifts around town or to your accommodation on horse-pulled sledges or snowcats. There's a Folie-Douce on the edge of the resort, so you can stumble back to your accommodation rather than skiing back. There's a good selection of restaurants and bars, though none were open past 2pm while we were there. Lifts were fast and queues were short in term time. There's a good variety of skiing with wide blues, red runs with moguls and a few interesting and challenging blacks. The wall was great when we were there just after a snow fall, but I've heard it can be icy. There was some lovely powder skiing to the side of slopes and through trees or under lifts. You can ski over into Switzerland with the full Portes du Soleil lift pass.

Literally the holiday of a lifetime, years later everyone still talks about the holiday we had in avoriaz. I took 2 first timers with me (one skier and one boarder) and by the end of the holiday they were both confidently slaying the reds and even managed to safely enjoy some blacks! The whole atmosphere is just magical from the minute you arrive, the powder dumps we had whilst there was amazing!

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.
