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.

Been to Avoriaz a couple of times now, great for beginners, also great for Advanced skiers. Food is great, as are the pistes. Accommodation is limited but not really fussed on that as we’re never really there. Got the ski pass which allows you to go to Switzerland which is quite cool. Will definitely return!

Brilliant and beautiful resort with incredible facilities on hand. Shops, swimming pool and runs for miles. Fantastic jump parks and fun for all the family. Bonus horse and sleighs to help you and your luggage get to your accommodation. Thoroughly recommend.

We love Avoriaz for its all round high scoring. It’s easily accessible and the ski in and out is amazing. It’s not about chalet skiing necessarily however there are great affordable apartments and hotel options. Food and beer is great and skiing plentiful.
Feel at home straight away whether it’s family or just the boys.
Highly recommended.

Such a magical place, feels like a little whoville. No cars, so just people skiing and walking around. Great supermarket in the middle to get your morning fresh pastries and so many slopes!

We were 7 families. Kids aged 14-21. All stayed in Pierre et vacance apartments. Ski net n ski out, excellent range of slopes. All very well maintained. Not enough snow to go to morzive - which is included on ski pass. But no matter as plenty of options going to chatel etc.
great on mountain food. Love the goat village.
Evening apres and night time at follie douce and Irish bar. The Cabine restaurant was fabulous.

Great resort, catering for most budgets, and singles/groups, or families. Skiing affords a massive range of options, catering excellently for beginners, through to experts.

Being on the border of Switzerland, the area is massive, with almost no need to ski the same run in a week, twice!

Avoriaz is full of restaurants and shops, and night-time entertainment is a core provision.

Snow cover is always good to excellent, and with new chairlifts going in for the 2025 season, access to the mountains is really quick.

Always love Avoriaz ❤️❤️ My home area so maybe biased but has such fun après and love watching the snow park in the centre. The domaine is so big which means there is a lot to explore and super fun mogul runs around which I prefer. Can get busy and chopped up but it makes the runs fun. Wish there were more groomed slopes / variety of black runs. Wouldn’t say it’s the most advanced resort which is a shame.

Overall lovely resort. Can visit an a relatively tight budget but be mindful of spending money. An average meal is €25, pint of beer €9.50 and shot €5. Very expensive once you’re there. Consider self catering and plan for at least £350 spending money per week.
