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.

My first time in Avoriaz was a great experience! I visited during the Snowbox festival! As a beginner there was plenty of runs to choose from, even managed to do a couple of reds by the end of the trip!

Avoriaz was the perfect resort for us and our young family. It was small enough to walk around, ski school was excellent and the ski area was fantastic, vast and beautiful. If you want to come crazy partying this perhaps isn’t the resort for you, but for a more relaxed break for families it was just perfect. It’s also great they have no cars and you’re collected on a sleigh - magical for the kids!

I’ve been to Avoriaz in both winter and spring for skiing and both times have been incredible. The resort is very well connected through ski lifts, as well as connecting over to the Swiss side with access to The Swiss Wall. Skiing and piste conditions are overall very fun, allowing for some easier slopes for beginners, and some trickier areas for those more advanced. On top of this, having a fabulous snowpark, as well as the stash through the trees offer some unique freestyle fun for those interested.

The ability to ski throughout the whole village is a huge plus, adding to the overall feel of the resort. I have had a great experience both times visiting and would highly recommend to others.

I’ve been to Avoriaz many times and it’s never disappointed me, always providing heaps of fun and great snowboarding. The resort’s groomed slopes are pretty amazing, suitable for a wide range of skills, and being linked to the neighbouring resorts in the Portes Du Soleil region (additional lift pass is required for the whole region), the terrain is vast and varied.

There’s plenty of bars and restaurants all over the resort, offering decent options of food and beverages, as well as supermarkets, a cinema and other attractions. Last but not least, the resort is home to aprés-ski temple, La Folie Deuce, where you can hop on a table and let loose once your day on the slopes has come to an end.

I’ve never actually booked accommodation in Avoriaz, as I’ve always stayed in the beautiful town of Morzine, which is a couple of lifts down the mountain; therefore, I can’t comment on the topic.

Hope you find the review useful and see you on the slopes!!

Nice resort with a huge ski area, as a beginner I didn’t fully maximise this. Apres was good at folie, food options felt limited for budget takeaways compared with other resorts. Ski in / ski out was really cool

I stayed there for a season, great all round resort with quieter slopes and backcountry towards Chatel. The car free nature of the resort is genuinely lovely and I go back to Avo every year

Great resort, purpose built but charming. Slopes are excellent, great snowmaking facilities too. Ski in ski out everywhere. Huge ski area. Only issue is altitude, which can mean mild weather but if you catch it when it’s cold and snow covered you will have a blast
