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 great place to stay as a base for all your skiing/snowboarding needs! There are lovely cruisy blue runs through the trees and fun challenging blues/reds with so many different options. Having Big/Little stash there was great fun.

Great slopes and connections across portes du Soleil. Ski in/ski out was great and where we stayed had a run start literally 10 meters from the door. Good restaurants and bars not too spenny.

Great slopes with plenty of routes and levels of difficulty. Apres 10/10.
Absolutely love Avoriaz - but if you fancy a change of scenery it’s so easy to ski in Morzine/ Les gets as well.

Skiied Avoriaz many times, great variety in terms of pistes, have the option to go over to Switzerland or go over to amor zone, so big area available. Good ski school options, family friendly with the Aquariaz pool centre too. Views are unmatched, with horse drawn carriages adding set against the scenic back drop, just creates the epítome scene of Alpine culture. Apres ski is decent, not up with the level of Val disere or Tignes, but still has a very good Folie Douce and great bars that do the trick. Restaurant options are good, and again can travel into Morzine by car or taxi if wanting a change of scenery.

This is a beautiful resort and great value for what it is. Being able to ski through the town to the grocery store and various bars and restaurants is so magical. The ski area is huge with access to the whole Portes du Soleil. We went with a group with a mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers and there were plenty of runs for everyone.

Absolutely love this resort and returned many times. So many options of places to go - morzine, Switzerland, les gets or just staying in avoriaz to ski. Runs are super well groomed and lots of options from beginner to advanced. Areas out of the main town are very quiet so good for trying out new skills!
