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.

When I went the snow conditions where amazing as it would snow all night and be blue sky's throughout the day and once the sun set we was able to eat and drink at the cozy bars and restaurants until we was ready to experience the great night life giving it a perfect blend of adventure and evening fun.

Really good, snow was good considering it was December, although no snowfall when I was there really so no powder snow, it would get icy, lots and lots of blue and red runs available, and a long tree run down to the bottom which was good, accommodation was good, and supermarkets available and nearby, and some nice restaurants and cafes

Great place to ski with fantastic variation. Tree runs down into ardent are amazing but you can go higher for wider piste skiing.

So convenient with restaurants bars and bakeries all at the resort. No cars gives it quite a magical feel. And as part of the portes du Soleil there is plenty of runs for all ability

My partner and I really enjoyed Avoriaz for a couples holiday, being above Morzine, Chatel etc gave you a head start first thing in a morning to get the most empty runs for first lift. Plenty of food choices and several nice bars, but night life is not as lively Morzine. We saw how family friendly it is and we are returning this month with our 3 year old for his first trip.

Fairly low in altitude so not the best skiing so late in the season. Great for families and still really good fun all round.

I have been to avoriaz 4x and each time was spectacular ive taught 3 of my best freinds from 0 to intermediate level skiing here the runs go for over 600km you can ski into switzerland and do the swiss wall (double black diamond) one of the hardest runs in the world with mogals the size of cars. The green,blue,red and black variety is nearly unmatched in europe and i say one then the french can cook! The la cabin restaurant is my favourite restaurant on earth with a beautiful setting and ambiance with a live singer that walks around whilst you relax. This resort has somthing for everyone especially partying the clubs are brillaint and apre ski is incredible at la folie douce!

Avoriaz covers every aspect that is wanted from a. Ski resort. Avoriaz inside port de soleil has a copious amount of runs covering all levels. The folie deux centres in Avoriaz gives a great apre ski vibe as well as restaurants covering the whole resort providing great atmosphere for lunch and hot chocolate breaks. You can access Avoriaz by staying in many different resorts such as, Morzine, Chatel and Champery. The off piste opportunities in Avoriaz are good with many hidden routes to get to big open spaces as well as tree runs. 10/10 resort

I loved Avoriaz as a skier who loves tree lined routes and lots of options. The ski area is massive, it has less restaurants than Morzine but is ski in and ski out which i prefer. There is a good range of options for apre ski with a follie and further below in Morzine another bar for apre. There is also a small club in Avoriaz

I’ve been riding Avoriaz for a decade and it always delivers. Never had to wait more than a few minutes for a lift, legit snow cannons everywhere, stunning treelined scenery, cute chalet chocolate-box vibes and a very decent après scene. As a snowboarder I find the widespread gondolas /chairlifts a real win (AVOID Chatel if you go further afield and you hate drag lifts as much as I do!) Plus there’s lots of other activities to try when you’re not riding. Highly recommend husky sledding through the trees!
