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.

Lovely resort, love the car-free aspect - just pedestrians & skiers in the town, mixed together - but with efficient snowplough / horse & carriage / sledges to get around with luggage. Plenty of varied areas, across different valleys, including into Switzerland. Plenty of blues & reds to keep different levels of skiers in the group happy, with some blacks including the Swiss Wall (with the chairlift get-out option for non-partakers). Only issue is that some key lifts seemed very vulnerable to closure due to winds, which seemed to pick up quickly & unpredictably.

Had a great time in Avoriaz. Plenty of different skiing options for the family with some great skiing available in Switzerland if you get the full lift pass.

Plenty of great food options on the slopes and great apres, including the infamous Folie Douce!

Loads of accommodation options to suit a range of budgets.

Will definitely be going again!

Avoriaz is an amazing ski in/ ski out resort. Its fully pedestrianised and access to the slopes is so easy. It caters for everyone with good ski schools, a huge ski area and great après.

Avoriaz is one of the most beautiful ski resorts I have ever experienced. It has miles of stunningly well groomed runs, snow parks to fit all abilities, and some of the best apres ski in the alps.
The accommodation we stayed in was great, a small apartment, but full of charm, and everywhere is a ski in/out accommodation.

The food and drink options are also great, with a nice variety to choose from.

Overall I’d highly recommend avoriaz to anyone.

Avoriaz is my favourite ski resort! I went a couple of years ago on a solo ski trip, staying in a shared chalet with other solo skiers. The resort itself has plenty of skiing area with runs for everyone. Great restaurants, shops and nightlife in the area and in Morzine as well.

Avoriaz is a great resort particularly families and also those loving après ski. The snow parks and stash are great fun and a good variety of skiing over the portes de soleil area. It is car free and has Aquariaz swimming pool that is great for kids. Dancing on the tables in la folie douce is a must and also a burger at changabang.

Excellent pistes and a huge amount to cover across so many different individual resorts in both France and Switzerland. Very good value for money re lift tickets and virtually no queues anywhere. And just 90 mins transfer from Geneva. What's not to love!!

Been visiting Avoriaz since I was 4, and there’s still reason to go back every year. Great place for all levels of skiers with lots of options for the beginner to intermediate levels. The ski-in/ski-out accommodation is ideal and there are restaurant and bar options for every budget. The altitude means that the snow is pretty good all season long and the staff in the area there do a great job keeping as much open as possible even later into the season.

I went in February school holidays and absolutely loved it, the village is really beautiful, it has brilliant sunsets and it’s amazing to walk on the snow without any vehicles. There was plenty of food places to go and visit while more expensive which is very common for a ski resort and you prepare for it, however there was small supermarkets which sold food much cheaper if needed. In terms of Slopes avoriaz had a very good snowpark as i’m a park skier myself and contained lots of blue and red runs to practice skills, many of which had moguls. My one issue with the runs is close to the resort it felt there wearnt many black runs if you went further into the ski area there was but close to avoriaz i can only remember there being 1 or 2. The week was very busy with people but lift queues wearnt too long but that’s expected as its school holidays. Overall avoriaz was a brilliant experience!

Purpose built car-less resort with everything you need in walking distance. Folie Douce end of day apres is place to be. Access to miles of skiing across Porte de Soleil.

Dropping the car in the underground carpark was the start of an unforgettable trip to a gem of a resort.
Walking through the scenic resort village to our accommodation we knew we'd made the right choice of resort for our father son five day trip. After dropping our luggage we picked up skis and passess and made a reservation for dinner at the steak house in town. And returning later that night enjoyed a sumptuous beef cut cooked perfectly and accompanied by a delightful red wine.
Surprised by the excellent January weather and taking advantage of December's snowfall we completed a route over into Switzerland with amazing views and quiet slopes.
Fantastic skiing and ski in/out resort make this one of my favourite places to ski.

Avoriaz in March 2025 was excellent: high-altitude village with genuine ski-in/ski-out everywhere, no cars, and direct access to the massive 600+ km Portes du Soleil network. Snow conditions were very good with fresh falls during the week, lifts were fast and queues mostly short, and there was plenty of challenging terrain for advanced skiers (Swiss Wall, Hauts-Forts, mogul blacks). The unique 1970s cliff-top architecture and car-free vibe are quirky but practical. It’s expensive for food and drinks, and a couple of linking runs are flat, but overall it’s hard to beat for convenience, snow reliability and sheer amount of skiing on offer. Solid resort; I’d happily return.

The resort offers a great variety for everyone from kids, to advanced level riders for park and off piste terrain. Great views and places to eat on the mountain with the famous Folie Douce to finish the day! Lots to explore in Avoriaz town as well as shopping and entertainment in morzine just a 15 minute bus journey away
