Avoriaz Reviews & Ratings

Overall lovely day out skiing and a great place for lunch in the mountains. Great slopes for all skill levels and great views

Avoriaz is a stunning, car-free ski resort in the French Alps, offering direct access to the vast Portes du Soleil. With varied slopes, top-notch snow parks, and reliable snow, its perfect for all levels. Family-friendly with unique charm, but peak times can get crowded. Book early!

Ive been to avoriaz for the past 3 X Christmas we always have a great time with the vast amount of runs spanning across both Avoriaz & Morzine. There resort caters to all levels and you can even ski/board right through the town centre! The snow park is also great along with the Stash for those more experienced and more daring. Lift queues were reasonable over Christmas & there are plenty of places to stop and eat - Id recommend Linderet area especially. Apres isnt huge here but they do have a folie douce which has singers & acrobats

Just got back from Avoriaz, a return after a 12 year hiatus, it was even better than I could recall and challenged pretty much any of Europes biggest and best resorts. Fantastic.

Avoriaz is a great resort in the Portes du Soliel region of France that boasts great links with resorts in both France and Switzerland. It benefits from being the highest resort in the region and so has the best record of snow. It is not easily linked with Morzine and Les Gets due to the need for lifts and a walk across Morzine to truly benefit from that area.Avoriaz is mostly ski in/out and a charming winter wonderland of purpose built accommodation. Its best links are with Chatel, Les Crosets, Morgin, Champoussin. Even though it is high, it still has some lovely tree lined skiing and caters for all levels of ability. A car free resort with horse drawn sleighs also adds to its appeal. Purpose groomed areas like the slope style park and The Stash appeal to freestyle and back country aficionados. For the more adventurous skier, the black unpisted Swiss Wall is a challenge.

Barely any good food options if you have dietary requirements, like lactose intolerance. Otherwise a lovely resort and great fun. Run variety is amazing. Long flat areas between ski lifts in some parts though that take a long time to push through and can be a choke point for traffic. Many red runs get very choppy quite quickly so beginners getting into it will find them hard work over all the moguls. Went during snowboxx festival. So late in the season and it was a bit too late it got very melty. Apres ski was brilliant fun though.

Avoriaz is a perfect place for anyone skiing/snowboarding from beginners to advanced, also very easy to get around.The ski schools are great and plenty of choice.The centre is lovely as it is a pedestrian zone with no cars, just horse and carts and snow taxis.There is plenty of choices for eating out from typical french to pizzerias.Le folie douche is the main apres ski in the resort which is great fun and has a fantastic atmosphere each day.

Really great ski resort with loads of options for all experiences with lovely surrounding atmosphere and food options

I went to Avoriaz with a group of friends last winter, and it was honestly one of the best ski trips weve had. The skiing is incredible its part of the huge Portes du Soleil area, so there are endless slopes for all levels. A few of us tackled the infamous Swiss Wall, while the beginners loved the gentler runs closer to the resort.The car-free setup is such a unique touch. Walking through snowy streets with sleds and horse-drawn carriages made the place feel magical. Plus, most of the accommodation is ski-in/ski-out, which made everything super convenient.Après-ski was a highlight too. La Folie Douce was buzzing with live music, and there were plenty of bars to keep us going into the night. And the food? Everything from fondue to burgers no complaints there.If I had to nitpick, it can get pretty windy on the higher lifts, but thats a small price for great snow and stunning views. Were already planning to go back Avoriaz is just that good!

One of my fav resorts! Amazing ski options fun options for all levels. Amazing apres and such a pretty resort!

Every accommodation is ski in/out but range greatly in space, comfort and price. At the bottom end it's small Airbnb with sofa and pull out beds. Early booking is essential to get the best picks.The skiing is very good but it's the access to the Swiss part of the Portes de Sol pass that makes it a really great resort for beginners and intermediates, superb blues and reds in the morning sun is sublime.Apres is fun with a small variety of bar in the resort with the Follie Douche being the biggest and most well known party.Eating out can be a bit tricky and expensive but with a mini mart in the centre it is easy to get some cheap convenient dinners prepared in even the smallest apartments. There's two carparks, surface and underground. It helps to be aware spaces in the underground are very tight. Overall the charm of the picturesque ski in/out, nightlife and accessibility keep this resort high on my list and with a 4 of 5 star ⭐ rating

Very nice resort, with excellent ski runs. Family friendly, but also has a après ski on the slopes with music for everyone to enjoy with a drink. Overall experience 10/10, very excited to come back again!

Nice range of runs and off piste for all abilities. Good to go with friends and family as something for everyone. The resort is great for going out for a drink after a hard day skiing

We visited on the 5/1/2025 for a week. It is such a lovely resorts, no cars which is lovely. Everything you need for a great family holiday. Wonderful runs, great apres ski, lots of restaurants and shops. We would definitely go back .

We stayed just below Avoriaz at the bottom of the Prodains lift. This provided ready access to the Avoriaz side of the Portes de Soleil ski area with plenty of slopes for beginners and intermediates sheltered by the trees in more inclement weather conditions. Be aware that the links to Swiss slopes can close in windy conditions so you need to consider the weather forecast when travelling further afield. But even when weather is adverse there are still plenty of slopes to choose from with runs down to Montriond and Prodains.

Cracking resort, great skiing for any level of skier, ski in and out from most of hotels in the village and its car free which is nice. Has great food everywhere in the village and in the mountains which have plenty of restaurants to eat from.

Amazing ski resort! Worth coming back, ski in and ski out. Great apre as well! Also the whole Port Su Solei is worth it!

An amazing place to spend New Year. Although it was busy runs werent crowded. A great snowsure resort. Just limited on family orientated restaurants.

Great family friendly car-free resort with access to large ski area. Most accomodation is ski in ski out and family activities off slope are wide ranging. The village centre is festive and picturesque with a carousel and lit up Christmas trees. The swimming pool with hot tub, lazy river, rainforest plants, climbing wall, tube slide and kids play area is not to be missed!

I visited Avoriaz for Snoboxx festival in March 2023. It was incredible. I have skied before but my boyfriend has not, so he spent a few mornings in ski school. He became a confident skier and was able to come with me up the mountains after a few days. The slopes were great for beginners and intermediate skiers. We also had advanced skiers in our group who rates the slopes highly. Apres ski was amazing, always my favourite part of skiing. Highly recommend Avoriaz and will be going back as soon as possible!!
