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.

Avoriaz is always a great option for families. The resort has a lot of offer for both skiers and non-skiers with lots of options around town.
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

Went in March. Snow was starting to melt down so it was very slushy. Restaurants close at noon for some reason so food options are scarce around that time. Night life is fun and lots to do.

Avoriaz was mint, wish i stayed longer than just a week. ski in ski out is amazing and there's always something to do when not skiing/snowboarding. my family are beginner skiers so we sticked to blues mostly. they were perfectly groomed and amazing even after a night of snowfall, you can see them on a night ploughing the runs. it's pretty awesome just to see on a night. so many restaurants and bars they're all great, pricy however. apres ski is brilliant if you're into it. i'm not a massive drinker myself but i still enjoyed the apres even though i was drinking orange juice lol. i don't ski often as i prefer snowboarding but it's great for ski runs, wide runs and also very technical runs, even in some of the blues and reds i went on. snowboard in it's awesome as there's many side hits, and always a different route you can take.

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.

Good resort for intermediate to advanced skiers + also some activities for non-skiers. The folie douce can be accessed straight from the bottom of the slopes and also a short walk from the main town centre. The indoor water park is a bonus so remember to pack swimming gear! Pretty good value as well. Some of the resort accommodation is quite dated and if you’re looking for a wild night out it doesn’t come close to other big resorts like tignes. The town is easy to navigate and a bonus is the cable car down to morzine where you can also access transport to the airport.

Avoriaz offered some of the best ski in ski out skiing possible in the alps, the snow from a recent dump got the resort up a running a week earlier than expected. The accommodation offers incredible views and convenience, the Porte de soleil area is one of the best

I did a ski season in Avoriaz as a first time skier and it was amazing! Great ski schools and instructors got me improving immediately and there’s plenty of beginner friendly slopes! As I improved, the Portes du Soleir mountains offer so many options for skiing and great lunch spots, cafes and bars all around! When they say the resort is ski in ski out, Avoriaz actually delivers on this promise! Perfect for families and friends and of course a folie douche for apres seal the deal! Highly recommend for all abilities!! Awesome restaurants walkable from any accommodation makes it the perfect place for your ski holidays, with pretty much guaranteed snow all season!! Go there now!!!

Avoriaz is the perfect resort if
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

Visited here during the Snowboxx festival which takes over Avoriaz each year. Aside from Snowboxx being a great experience ins itself, Avoriaz as a resort had everything we needed to enjoy a weeklong holiday. Access to a large ski area through the Portes du Soleil ski area, lots of amenities, restaurants, bars, Apres etc. On a trip with friends, our experience was great. The accommodation is, like many other mountain towns, not spacious and you pay a lot for very small apartments (with a sofa bed in a lounge area being counted for as a bedroom being commonplace). But overall, a great resort. It’s also car-less (may be challenging for families or those with additional access needs) but you can book snowcat taxis & pull sleighs for bagage if needed.

Beautiful ski in skin out village resort in the alps, with superb access to the Port du soleil ski area…. The Stash for a natural vibe park area, Avoriaz snow park for bigger hits, and of course hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of trails

Lovely little resort. We stayed in a chalet in the centre of Avoriaz and there were lots of easy slope options nearby, with the offer of the big run down to morzine if we felt brave! Lifts were always open, ski hire and return was hassle free, and la folie douce was right round the corner for an easy ski home at the end of the day.

Can’t wait to go back!
