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.

There was no fresh snow at Avoriaz when we last visited but still the best place to ski in that area, les gets and morzine didn't compare. Avoriaz had the best variety of runs.

A nice resort with a good mix of runs for beginner and more advanced skiers alike. We stayed in Morzine and went up super Morzine lift each day, which worked well and I'd recommend. Snow wasn't great in early January, so maybe bear this in mind!

Avoriaz is one of my favourite places in the world, and the best resort I’ve been to. The apres ski is amazing with the open air Folie Douce, as well as a little igloo bar in the middle of the slopes that gets really lovely. There’s also loads of great options for food around the resort.

I really liked how everything is ski-in ski-out, no cars anywhere, and you’re straight on the slopes as soon as you step outside. The ski area is huge, great for cruising around all day, and there’s always something going on in town. Après-ski and bars are a big plus, but it still feels relaxed enough to enjoy properly. It’s not the prettiest Alpine village, but for convenience, energy, and pure ski fun, it’s a really solid choice.

Great resort to be in, part of the Portes du soléil and great choice of resorts to visit between France and Switzerland. Good apre ski scene and some great parks across the area.

Went with university group
Hadn’t skied before so was out of my comfort zone
Ski school was super friendly and came out of it being able to confidently do blues without guidance and went from no capability to actually knowing what to do.

The Avoriaz site and town itself was amazing. Expected to be more expensive than it was. There was certainly higher end restaurants and shops available but also a nice selection of cheaper food and items available also.

The apres ski and night life was also great and had more on that I had anticipated.

Overall an amazing site

The amount of skiing available is vast, spanning across the French and Swiss alps. Lunch and dinner options are also plenty. Snow can be a bit touch and go because the resort is lower than others but the pistes are always well looked after and snow cannons are used when possible.

I've been to Avoriaz 3 times and it's really nice as you have a village in the middle of the slopes.

There are so many slopes that you can spend a few days with never repeating the same slope. But that is impossible as some of them are so nice you have to repeat the.

The views are amazing and you have the option to ski to Switzerland that is nice.

Was there for the festival. Really well planned and timetabled. Not too busy on the higher slopes and really great for beginners/intermediate skiers.

Love Avoriaz, have visited several times over the years. Car free and ski in and out is so good, particularly if you have kids as it makes things so much easier. The village itself is unique and personally I find the funky architecture fits with the mountain aesthetic really well. Apres (if you want it) is also covered mainly at Folie Douce - dancing on the tables! Loads of great restaurants but also options for self catering too with take-away etc. one of my favourite resorts - skiing is fine into Easter also, never had a problem with that time of year with most of the pistes holding up well.

Absolutely awesome visit. I spoke to a few skiiers and it seems Avoriaz is definitely one of the best ski resorts. A good variety of slopes of different difficulty. The mountains are incredible and the staff in the site are all super friendly and very helpful. I have definitely discovered my love for skiing. A really lovely getaway. I'll definitely be back!!

Came away with my three daughters aged, 20, 17 and 13. 17 year old is a good skier.
Other 2 learning. I snowboard, as a beginner as haven't boarded for 25 years.
Great ski to slopes, great for families. Box clever with super markets as there is a vast difference in costs. Friendly, welcoming environment, would remend to friends and family. May return next year.

Poor snow when visited so Swiss wall closed and doctors strikes closed piste early and parks which was frustrating.

Avoriaz itself is very touristy and full of brits. Locals tend to head to other parts of portes du solet.

Some good side hits in places and off piste looked promising if more snow.

Prices in Avoriaz much higher than
Neighbouring areas. Would return but may stay elsewhere

Great resort for a ski village experience! So many different routes that we could take, going all over so that no two days felt the same. Skiing into Switzerland was great fun as well, and finding a birds of prey farm on a run on the Morzine side. Après was great too, and the lifts around the village made it a lot easier to get home at night.
