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 a massive ski resort, with a massive amount of skiable areas. You can head up the mountain, ski from France over to the Swiss side. Or down the way to the likes of Morzine. I’ve visited twice, and would love to visit again. There are two snow parks if that’s your thing, and iconic runs such as the Swiss wall. As well as plenty nice reds, blues, and even green runs. Great for the family, or for a trip with friends. The speed options are also great, with le follie Duce at more, the lower part of the mountains. As well as plenty cool bars and even a club nearer to all the hotels, in what they’d call the village. Always have a great time, would definitely recommend!

Was nice skiing in morning, but got bumpy and slushy after 1pm.
The blue runs were nice and varied, some harder than others. Beginners able to ski to igloo bar, who do a wonderful cheese n ham toastie. Plenty going on at apres ski, also a bowling alley and swimming pool. Great place for anyone any age.

As it was my 1st time on the slopes, I was really scared. Struggled on the button lifts, but staff was polite and patient enough to help guide me on the best techniques. Freshh plow day were the best and made the runs 10x better especially when falling. The blue slopes I don't think were too complex for a new boarder like myself. The greens were beautiful in terms of going down and soo picturesque. Some blues were better than others due to the width but over the weel I got used to it. The slope that goes back down to the entrance was really scary as its on a hill but, it was steep enough that I could stay inside and coast down. I think the restaurant options could've been better with their food. Some I believe were just heated up and served to us, but there were a few that was quite nice. The Apres were my favourite, good music and even greater entertainment. Overall a great trip for a first timeer and will definitely go again

Went for a week ski/snowboard holiday.
Was worried that there won’t be much snow but there was more than enough. Great location, close to many lifts and connecting to multiple different runs.
Quite expensive but that goes for most of ski trips, definitely worth the money.

Loads of places to drink/eat with good atmosphere.

One of the best holidays we had so far! So much better than any summer trip

Love Avoriaz for the ease of quick access from uk for a short break and great ski in/out chalets. Loads of runs so never get bored. Busy in school holidays though, so have to be ready for busy runs and queues at lifts.

A great family resort with great access to plenty of skiing. We travelled with the family over Easter and it was a little quieter than in Feb.

We visit Avoriaz every year with our 2 children, it is perfect for children to learn and equally has plenty of options for those who want more of a challenge while the children are in ski school. Highly recommend.

First time in Avoriaz. Would recommend getting the full ported du soleil pass to give access to a huge area of slopes and enabling you to ski into Switzerland. The resort has loads of blue and red runs and there’s enough areas to ski a different one every day. Well worth skiing down to super morzine and getting the ski train across to pleney to discover the les gets area!

Great resort, I would recommend going during the colder months and of school term times as it can get really busy but that’s for a reason. Apres ski is great and morzine nearby is a great little town to visit.

The resort was a great place to ski if you’re after the balance of good skiing and nice places to eat and socialise. I found it easy to navigate and there was a variety of runs you could do that suited everyone I was skiing with. I’ve been to Avoriaz a few years now and it’s great for big family groups and we always have a great time.
Look forward to returning next year!

Superb, magical resort. Trees sparkling with lights and a small alpine village to the town. Accommodation was well appointed and no where was too far to walk. Good options for food - supermarkets and restaurants.

Massive resort with more than enough slopes for most riders. Good variation of difficulties and the bulk of resort is well maintained even at the end of season when the weather is 10 degrees or more. There are loads of beginner slopes and ski schools in both morzine and Avoriaz, and all areas have a lot of long and calm runs. Getting around the town is quite easy but make sure you bring good footwear as the town is car free so you’re walking on snow. The restaurants get very busy and there isn’t a huge range of choice so you need to go early, or book. Other option is to cook as it seems like a lot of the apartments do have self catering. The great thing about most of the bars and hotel balconies is the views - from walking around the town it looks like most balconies are mountain facing.

There are smaller villages on the Swiss side, and st Jean on the French side was are only accessible by bus, but this means that if you want to stay in other towns in the ports du soleil you can probably a save a bit of money of accommodation and still have access to the full area.

Would definitely recommend for families, and those looking to clock of the miles!
