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.

Great place to ski, once you’re out of the bowl there are some really brilliant wide long runs with most having a red or black run route. Also really easy to ski over the Swiss side if you pay a little extra on your lift pass. We skied for a week with lots of variety- I’d highly recommend and am returning next month.

Plenty runs to choose from for all levels. Linderet area best for low visibility days but also gets crowded there as not many other tree areas. Love the pedestrian resort, lots to do in evenings ice skating,bowling, cinema etc.

We stayed in Avoriaz the last week of the season and despite warm
Temps had decent snow. It was our kids first experience, we had great 1:1 lessons from ESF for our 2 and 6 year olds. They loved apres at folie and les trappers, sledging in the village and afternoons in the pool at our apartments. We stayed at L’Amara which was a good choice for self catering accommodation. Not luxury but met our needs, the boot room and almost direct access to proclou was a life saver with two small kids. We’ll definitely go again.

Great resort, we go there most years and is perfect for beginners and intermediate skiers. Having stayed in both Morzine village and Avoriaz both are accessible to the mountain and plenty of restaurants and bars to entertain yourself in the evening

Great resort for skiing and for families but the apres ski could be better, there is only really follie douce and if that isn’t your vibe it seems quiet

IVe been visiting Portes du Soleil since I was a child, and though I’ve lived other resorts I will still choose Avoriaz over and over.

Folie is massive, there are SO many lifts and runs catering to all abilities, and if you need a resturant to visit - L’Passage. Mika and his staff are just superstars, and the food is brilliant every time.

I visited Avoriaz during a university ski trip in 2022. Overall, it is a great resort with abundant snow even later on in the season. Most of the accommodation within the village is ski-in ski-out, which is very convenient. There are plenty of great apres venues, which are easily accessible from the village. In terms of the slopes themselves, there’s a great range of easier slopes and more challenging options, such as the Swiss wall!

We went for the snowboxx festival, Avoriaz is a fun and family friendly ski resort which is very easy to access. It has ski in/ski out accommodation which was convenient.

There were loads of variety for skiing, from wide cruising runs to beginner friendly slopes. Being part of the Portes du Soleil you can explore more pistes across France and Switzerland.

Off slopes there is also plenty to do, bars and restaurants.

Overall it’s a good ski resort
