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.

Really amazing resort very unique with everything at your Fingertips, a good all round resort for families and all ages. Getting around the resort is unbelievably cool just using the lifts is a novelty and being able to ski into your apartment and straight off the slopes.

great area we normally stay in Morzine and get the bubble up rather than queuing for the gondola.
But if you stay in Avoiaz your up there already. Get first lift to the Swiss wall have a look to see if its worth riding if not save your energy and get the chair to the Swiss side for quieter runs

Fantastic ski resort that caters to all levels of skier. The terrain parks are a highlight with lots of features that are perfect for building confidence. Beginner area near the village is well-designed and ideal for children. The après ski scene is lively, with lots of bars in the village. Great experience for all!

Decent resort, never regret going to portes du soleils ski area as there are so many slopes to hit if you get the full ski pass.

Avoriaz it's self has great slopes, and a good snow park as well as a Burtons wood made park the stash.

Ski apres: Pretty decent with the famous La Folie Douce being here.

Overall solid resort

Solo travelled here, had a phenomenal experience. Ski-in Ski-out properties made things awesome.

Such a large range to ride through too with lots of variation.

Absolutely dying to go again!

Loved skiing in Avoriaz and would definitely go back. Slopes for all levels and even though it was a busy resort it didnt feel claustrophobic on the slopes. Hotel we stayed in was great an d very central. Only downside for me would be the friendliness & customer service in some restaurants / bars.

Very good overall resort, also joined with the rest of Porte De Soleil if you buy the full ski pass. Massive amount of runs which lead into Switzerland too. There is a good range of places to stay, from in Avoriaz to in Morzine - a village down the valley which is only a bus away. You can also get a lift directly from Morzine to the back end of Avoriaz (Super Morzine lift). Food and Apres options are very good, more so in Morzine but in Avoriaz there are still many options. it is a generally good resort and I have been going for the past 5 years and still enjoy doing the range of runs they have

This is my 3rd visit to Avoriaz in 12 months. Great resort for a beginner-intermediate snowboarder but it has good parks for more advanced riders too. It is part of a huge ski area as it links into other resorts but there are plenty of local runs for all abilities. Big plus points are short transfer time from Geneva and the fact it is a relatively small car free resort. Accommodation is pretty much all within a stones throw of the centre and the lifts. There are loads of shops, restaurants and ski hire options in the centre. Really friendly and lively resort. Lots of good English-speaking instructors although lessons are not cheap. Can get a bit busy but have never had long lift queues.

Avoriaz is a great resort with lots of options for all skill levels. When visiting with a group that ranged from experts to beginners we al had access to a good amount of skiing at our level with options for the more advanced in the group to head across to the Swiss wall and also ski through avoriaz.

Would recommend and would definitely return.
