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.

Not a great place for backcountry skiing and the apres is decent but you have to ski a long way out of avoriaz. Lift kept breaking down (Tour) throughout the whole season I worked there

Week in morzine-avoriaz for the new year- so much snow! Really good mix of runs some challenging some more relaxing. Some of the blues can be a little red but still good fun.
Great range of food on the mountain and easy to find nice quiet runs as the ski area is so big.

Great resort for friends or family. Has something for everyone!!!
Can by busy around the centre but extend further and explore the full area and you can find a quiet slope, even in peak times.

A beautiful ski-in, ski-out resort, completely pedestrianised. A great place for families as the slopes are so accessible and lots of activities for children. Snow conditions have always been good for us. Lots of choice for ski schools and a huge number of pistes, for all levels.

My favourite all time resort! A winter wonderland with great apres - super groomed slopes with the option to ski to Switzerland and the Swiss wall. Big area, definitely take the petite train over to Les Gets if snow allows!

Great for beginners and riders looking to move to the next level. Good vibe and friendly environment. Would have like more easy grab and go meal options. Everywhere was sit down restaurants which really eats into your afternoon.

Had an excellent time in Avoriaz for the start of the season. Heading back there in March for Snowboxx. Such an amazing resort with slopes for all levels. The parks are great fun and cater to all levels. You have access to such a wide range of runs and can easily head into the Swiss side of the alps.

Amazing resort, very snow sure and the Portes du Soleil lift pass gives you access to a massive ski area with many amazing runs. The village of avoriaz has everything you need in terms of shops, restaurants, bars etc and everywhere is ski in ski out which is a massive bonus. The accommodation is fairly basic but cheap, so perfect for a cheap getaway however if you are looking for somewhere with slightly bigger accommodation you may be better off staying in nearby resorts such as Morzine or Chatel as they have many larger chalets that are family sized. There is also a water park in avoriaz (Aquariaz) which is about £8 to enter and has a swimming pool, water slide and an outdoor hot tub which is great after a day on the slopes. I have already been to avoriaz three times and will definitely be returning again.

Large ski area as linked to many others. True ski in and out. No cars just horse and cart and snowcats that take you around. Perfect for familys as no hassle with lifting and carrying equipment. Just put it on and go! Many easier runs perfect for intermediate skiers.

A beautiful, picturesque resort, high location, with stunning views. The centre is car free, giving it a lovely olde world feeling. Very pretty. Ski ing is amazing, huge area with runs for all levels. The accommodation is limited though to self catering apartments and hotels. For a chalet lover (both self catered or catered) this is a big draw back.

Avoriaz is purpose built resort its lovely as built into the mountain so doesnt detract from the beauty of the mountains somehow blends in naturally.
Its family friendly but can get extremely busy in school holidays but then any resort can! Its got a good mix of slopes and we had a great holiday here. Tasty food in most restaurants too especially tartiflette!!

Chapelle park and chatel park are where it's at!!

You've got everything you need in avoriaz!

Trees, cliffs, groomers, mogals, park, powder!
Plenty of parking, buses, and transport!
Super easy drive to get there! I don't think you can top it in Europe for ease!

Avoriaz is a really characterful resort, plenty of nightlife and great apres. The ski area is huge and varied from chilled groomers to a snow park and technical black runs. Easy to access morzine and Swiss resorts in the pirates du soleil region. Plenty of on slope restaurants and bars to keep you going. Lifts were all very modern and efficient and very rarely had to queue more than 5 mins to use them. Pedestrianised streets in town with horse drawn sleighs add to the charm.

I have visited Avoriaz several times and its a really attractive resort as its fairly high altitude and close to Geneva Airport (less than an hour) which is great as I tend to go for short 4 days skiing rather than a week.

It has great verity of accommodation for reasonable prices and flexible dates and a big skii area to take advantage.

Great ski in and ski out
I heard a great description of Avoriaz of the ski lift saying that Avoriaz was like Disneyland on snow.
There is something for everyone.
The views are insane and the snowboarding is incredible but I have noticed it getting busier and more expensive.
Some beautiful tree lined runs and some great open wide runs too.
I returned year after year.
