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.

Room was quite basic but had everything we needed. Sherpa shop had everything we need to feed a family of five and there were plenty of restaurants to choose from if wanting to eat out. Ski school was fun and well organised.

My daughter and I got in a last minute ski trip to Avoriaz this Easter, and having been worried about the snow level I was so pleased with the amount of slopes and lifts open this late in the year! We had a great apartment and the town is so perfect that we are already talking about going back.

Visited Avoriaz to stay for the first time this year and can't wait to return. Located bang I'm the middle of the piste map ensures easy access to all of the area. Super friendly cosy village atmosphere and families welcomed. Glorious views and great conditions due to resort altitude. Even though we snowboard around 40 miles a day there is still a lot of terrain to discover that being said I can't wait to clip my board back on my feet to ride this area again.....!

Visited Avoriaz to stay for the first time this year and can't wait to go again. Location on the piste map is perfect for exploring the whole area. The atmosphere in Avoriaz is super friendly and families welcomed. Even though we managed around 40 miles a day there is still plenty to explore that in mind I would recommend and can't wait to clip my board back on feet here again......!

It didn’t snow while we were there but I think we just got unlucky, the resort was really nice and the sunsets were great.

I love Avoriaz, it has something for everyone. It’s a short bus ride from Morzine. There is plenty of accommodation in Avoriaz with ski in/ski out options.

It is quieter than Morzine and a good vibe for everyone

Love Avoriaz - we fly from UK to Geneva get a skiidy transfer and stay in P and V apartment ( Crozat or Electra)
Miles of runs - ski in ski out and an apartment so more space to chill in the evening and the possibility order take away or get rotisserie chicken dinner from carrefour/ Sherpa supermarket to cut cost of eating out

Our stay in Avoriaz was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The resort is beautifully maintained, with stunning views and a unique car-free atmosphere that really adds to the charm. Everything is so well organised, from the lifts to the facilities, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time. The skiing was excellent with plenty of variety for all levels, and the overall vibe was friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be returning—highly recommend!

Ski in ski out resort with great snow condition until the end of the season. The alters ski is great with a Folie at the base of one of the runs - walking substance for those who are not confident skiers or need a day resting.

Great resort, lots of different types of runs for all levels of skier/snowboarders. We stayed down in Morzine but came up to avoriaz every day and ventured over to Switzerland and down to chatel. We would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The village is absolutely mint. Skiing from your doorstep is a blast. People were very friendly.
The runs are unbelievable, the views are unbelievable, the vibe is unbelievable. I couldn't quite believe it...
The swiss wall was sick, snow parks were really cool, lifts weren't too busy as there's loads of options and they're all good quality.
I would definitely go again and feel confident my fiance would be happy being a less advanced skier as the options are varied enough and the blue runs are fun enough for experts.

I have visited multiple resorts over the years but Avoriaz is my favourite. I love all aspects of it from the accommodation availability, the food and drink options, and the ski area. My favorite place to have lunch is globetrotters, they do the BEST burgers! and I always make sure to go here when I come back. I love that there is a big ski area and I love heading over towards the Swiss side and head through the tree runs down to Prolays lift. and top off for lunch at one of the mountain chalets.

I always recommend this resort to anyone who asks be where they should go. And there are so many amenities, bowling, swimming, the spa, shopping, and games at the sportsbar.
