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.

My family loved Avoriaz, there was a huge area to explore and the snow was great, with well groomed pistes, and not too many queues.
Staying there was better value than more expensive resorts, the two children adored this place; been twice and hope to visit again.

Great resort, has something for everyone, beginners, intermediate, advanced and off piste. Apres is also amazing. Such a great resort links to wider Portes du soleil.

Staying at the bottom of the hill (Morzine) and taking the lift each morning to Avoriaz was easy and efficient and meant slightly cheaper accommodation. The snow was perfect and the slopes were unbelievably quiet to say it was the week of a house music festival (Snowzone). Eateries were all excellent. Ski higher was good quality and easy to acquire. Queued once on the first day for a lift...after that, straight on!

Avoriaz is an excellent family friendly resort with an array of green, blue and red runs suitable for all abilities. the fact that it is a car free resort and the best way to get around is by horse and cart really adds to the magic, especially for the younger ones. besides skiing there ia plenty to do, whether is swimming, eating out or going to the cinema, this resort really has something for everyone.

First time in avoriaz. The ease of having everything so handy was excellent.
Most restaurants shut at 2pm so it was difficukt to eat out if you were not skiing all day.
Supermarkets were excellent value.
Thought the some lifts shut a littlecearly at 430/5pm

This was our second trip to Avoriaz, and we are already looking at coming back in future years with other family members!

The resort is great for couples or families. This means loads of greens and cruisy blues, but steeper blues and reds are plentiful too. For better skiers than we are, there is the option to ski to Switzerland as well as down to Morzine.

We like coming at the end of the season when the sun is out and for two years in a row, we've had temperatures of 20°C most days, but still great snow. There are higher resorts, but the hills here are still snow-filled. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone, especially earlier in their ski adventure.

There are loads of ski schools, but if you want group lessons, book in advance. You can get next day 121s though, but check out reviews before you book because it's important to find someone you like.

My only real downside to Avoriaz is that I have a dairy allergy and that limited me to 1 or 2 items per menu, and 4 nights out of 6, they had sold out of these options, leaving me without food. The local shops shut at 20:30, so be warned if you have dietaries that you are likely to have to sort your own food out. On two occasions, I was assured the meal had no dairy only for me to be very unwell and learnt afterwards that they'd cross contaminated.

Overall, this is easily our favourite resort because it has something for everyone, even if it shuts early.

As a first time skier it was a great resort! I felt very comfortable and there were beautiful beginner runs so i didn’t feel like I was missing out on the scenery of doing bigger slopes

Been going to Avoriaz since I was a kid and it always has the best snow and vibes. Highly recommend. Vast amount of slopes and access from France to Switzerland for some even better runs.
