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.

Snow is pretty much garunteed, with accommodation options also in Morzine and getting the bus up to Avoriaz. There is a Folie for apres and igloo bar, and of course the annual snowbox festival.
Town completely car free
So easy to get around and lots on to suit all group types!
Access across all of Porte de Soleil means huge amount of runs to ski
Could be a trickier resort for less experienced skiers
honestly it's a great place. i've only been to morzine for a week before avoriaz and id totally recommend going there. but if you're split between the two places, avoriaz is so much better and more reliable than morzine even though they are less than an hour or so away from each other.
you are trying to cater for all levels.
I have skied since a school kid, and worked in the industry. Avoriaz was my first choice for taking my 5 year old on her first trip.
Snow is always great too
Highly recommend
Can’t wait to go back!
