Avoriaz Reviews & Ratings

I've been to Avoriaz twice now, once with family and once with a large group, and it is one of my favourite resorts. The Portes Du Solei area is huge and it's a great base to ski into Switzerland from without paying the Swiss prices. Avoriaz is purpose built and such a beautiful resort, with every accommodation being ski in ski out due to there being no roads, so rather than avoiding cars you have pause for horse drawn carriages, which is much better. There's plenty of choice for all abilities, loads of beginner friendly cruisy blues and some really nice fast reds, along with the infamous Swiss wall, an ungraded mogul slope. For apres Avoriaz has the famous Folie Douce, always a great option for tabletop dancing, then there are a few clubs in the town but not a lot to choose from. I've only rated the apres a 3, both times I have been it was 5/5 however I think that comes down to the group I was with.

Lots of places to eat and do apres skii, folie douce is lovely, accommodation has lots of options and runs are populated

Amazing ski in ski out resort! Everything you need on your doorstep. Get the port du soleil ski pass - the runs feel endless! They have a Folie Douce, bowling ally, many restaurants. You can also spend the evening in Morzine by just getting the lift down (included in your Avoriaz lift pass). Only down side is that accommodation tends to be quite small , and larger groups will need to be split up unless youve got the budget for one of the large (but limited) chalets in Avoriaz!

Avoriaz is the ultimate ski getaway, from the ski in/out town centre, horse drawn carts, bars restaurants and plenty of areas for children and young families. Not to mention, the piste map is huge, making it an ideal location for all levels of skier/snowboarder. Id return in a heartbeat.

Great family holiday for adults and young to teenage kids, for both skiers and snowboarders, have returned several times.

Great resort, with a variety of nice runs and snowparks. Many of the slopes run through the forest which makes the ski experience even more enjoyable and varied. There are plenty of blue and green runs which makes it a good choice for beginners, as well as the Swiss Wall for experienced skiers who want a challenge.

One of my favourite resorts with easy access to Morzine and Les Gets, always fantastic scenic runs and the Apres at the Folie is always a huge incentive to go here. If you go, check out the Large Birds of Prey exhibit on the piste - youll get some great pictures and make unforgettable memories!

Changabang Burger is fabulous! Huge amount of lifts but while we were there the links to Switzerland were often closed. Happy Hours Apres on a Wednesday is fab, you can get a bus to Morzine afterwards if you are staying there!

I went in January and had the best time, the snow was amazing! Just a big ski resort, going over to les gets as well. Plenty of apres ski and lovely restaurants and bars. Accommodation was relatively cheap as well and the slopes werent crazy busy so thats a plus.

Great resort for easy blues and testing reds. Loads of slopes with lots of space and good variety. Can be quite busy but that is due to how good it is.

We stayed in Avoriaz over Christmas (5 skiers ranging from 11-48 years old and intermediate to advanced level) and we had a fantastic week. The snow was brilliant, lifts were largely open, with just a few closed early on during heavy snowfall due to the avalanche risk. The kids loved the Stash and Lil Stash areas and all the off piste possible, and there was plenty of skiing on offer in the wider Portes du Soleil area heading over to Switzerland. Only one lift was queued (proclou), although some are older slower chairs particularly up high on the Swiss border. The village of Avoriaz itself was fantastic - traffic free, lots to do in the evening (Aquariaz, bars, restaurants and of course because we were there at Christmas there was a fab firework display and Father Christmas visited!), plus pretty much everywhere is ski in ski out. Blue slopes were busy-ish at times but reds and blacks were quiet and mostly unpisted with good powder early on and some nice moguls forming later on in the week.

Lovely place with a great town. Cant wait to come back. Good restaurants as well.Looking forward to coming back for mountain biking as well to see that side of it.

Great resort for novice to advanced.Car free resort with plenty of bars and restaurants plus a swimming pool / spa

We love this resort. Ive been going since I was 12 and its really great for all ages. If you stay at the resort most of the accommodation benefits from ski-in ski-out access. The town itself is vehicle free apart from working vehicles and horse drawn sleighs. This means you can ski around the town too! Our favorite run is Abricotine, a beautiful long blue run. The ski area is massive and were still discovering new runs now. Would highly recommend for families, their Christmas and new years celebrations are brilliant.

An amazing resort with a range of runs and access to the swiss wall, I went as a beginner and returned intermediate. We had the best holiday!!

Avoriaz is ski in ski out so great for families. We hired sledges so the kids could play on the snow whilst we had a drink in the bars outside. The blues are tougher here but plenty of rubs to chose from. Can be queues for ski lifts and runs can get quite cut up and moguly as the day goes on.

I absolutely love Avoriaz. Its high so youre pretty much guaranteed to be able to ski in and out. Its traffic free, its beautiful and its all round my favourite resort ever! Folie Douce is a firm favourite for the whole family for some apres ski table dancing and there are plenty of restaurants and bars as well as accommodation choices. Love love love it!!

I have been many times, family friendly and where i learnt to ski. Also the apres and night life is good after visiting on a uni ski trip

Magical resort with no cars, only horse and carriage to get around. Arrival and departure can be a bit of a faff because of this but the vibe makes it worth it. Plenty of restaurants and bars, although they are pricey. The altitude means the snow is almost always great, but does mean the drive to the resort is a little long with lots of tight bends.

Love Avoriaz, such a huge area to explore, great parks and après. Also lots of mountain dogs which is always appreciated.
