Avoriaz Reviews & Ratings

Access to a huge, varied ski area. Locals surprisingly friendly when you make a little effort. Lots of off piste options. Grooming on piste was ok. Some ridiculously busy slopes. A few lift bottlenecks. The town was too densely populated by people. Traffic free was a bonus. Town was too busy.

Fantastic family friendly resort with great runs for all abilities. Amazing restaurants and lots of fun apres we will be back again next year as it works for our two families

Visited Avoriaz as a beginner on a first ski trip and loved it.

The ski school is fantastic, with lots of availability and the green and blue runs are a great place to learn. More experienced skiers in the group really enjoyed the more technical runs and easy access to skiing the Swiss Wall.

The apres ski at La Folie Douce is fantastic, with a great restaurant upstairs and excellent atmosphere.

I would definitely recommend for anyone's first ski trip.

Avoriaz is a short ttansfer ftom Geneva Airport and high enough to be snow sure.
The town is purpose built for skiing and car free making it possible to ski in out to most accommodation.
The accommodation is all modern and well served with shops, bars and restaurants.
The lift network leave the town with short queues in the morning getting you onto the mountain and pistes quickly.
The pistes vary from simple greens and blues for beginners with miles of scenic runs to the famous Swiss Wall. An un pisted black run which is rated as one of the steepest and longest in yhe world.
Overall a resort for any skier or boarder who enjoys the the snow

Great compact high resort that provides snow sure slopes late into the season.

Accommodation great choices and great selection of Savoie region foods on offer in most.

Runs great and the linked resorts of lets Gets and Zmorxine provide great tree lined option when the snow is good (these resorts hover around 1500 meters and lower so my view is better for early season trips)

Great Apres with great bars snd music selection from the lively Folié Douce and Yeti bars to more chilled out/sophiticated.

Have been multiple years with the lads, its a stunning resort with access to a massive amount of runs. Never disappointed me yet would highly recommend

Been to Avoriaz, and the Port Du Soleil area a number of times.

Avoriaz is great for all levels of skiers, from beginners learning the ropes to experienced skiers who can easily access the Swiss Wall from Avoriaz.

Apres is also good if thats what youre looking for, especially the trusted Folie haha (expensive though).

Due to Avoriaz being much higher than Morzine and Le Gets (other two resorts covered with the Port Du Soleil pass), the snow remains good when the other two struggle due to being much lower.

However, if you get good snow, morzine is AMAZING!! The runs, off piste and tree runs just cant be beaten for me. In my experience even when there isnt loads of snow, the higher parts of morzine are still absolutely fine, its just the runs down to the town thatll struggle.

Havent explored Le Gets quite as much, but seems good for beginners and families.

Lots of on and off piste to go at generally quite quiet. Lots of lovely long runs to have a go at. Fun off-piste open areas to play around in.

Large ski area with good connections to other resorts. The Stash was so much fun, loving finding a new route each time. However very long lift waiting timings and busy slopes at certain times.

Avoriaz is situated in the Portes de Soleil Europes biggest winter playground. A super family friendly ski resort with over 650km of runs for all levels of skiers. Youll never be stuck for good food in the town or on the slopes. In winter, much to my delight, Avoriaz is a car free zone, roads in the town become slopes making nearly every accommodation ski in ski out. Avoriaz has the best apres skiWhether its a quiet drink after a day on the slopes or dancing on the tables Avoriaz has it all!

Would recommend! Its a good place to do the active and social sides of skiing. Could go back a few times and experience different things every time.

Slopes around avoriaz/ switzerland are great for beginner/ intermediate with lots of blue and green runs that aren't too steep. There are also some more challenging reds and blacks suited to intermediate- expert around this area. Most of the bars I'm avoriaz ar in the main village with not many higher up although down into Switzerland there are more bars cafes and restaurants dotted about.

Avoriaz is the ultimate ski venue, from where ever you are, you are on skis the moment you leave your accommodation. Getting picked up at the car park by a horse and sleigh is truly magical, and Christmas with children is not to be missed.

Great ski in ski out options, link from Morzine to Avoriaz area isnt great and takes a bit of time.

Avoriaz has a huge area with a variety of terrain and difficulty levels, catering to all ability levels.

Solid resort got everything you need with a huge ski area, if you like putting in the skiing miles and exploring different town ect then PDS/Avoriaz is hard to beat.
Small but good selection of bars and Happys Bar in Ardent is hard to beat apres.

Only downside is sometimes it can rain lower down, if you want a big spread out town then go Morzine or Meribel ect.

So far haven't seen any better resort slope wise and money wise, will definitely come back again . I wish I could share some memories in here

Perfect for everyone. A lot of ski runs and beautiful powder and some of the best tree runs I have done. The apre ski here is amazing which endless amounts of bars and restaurants

When in the area, its always a must go to resort. It has enough runs for all skill levels and variation to see any skier through a few days. Exploring places to eat on the mountain makes for finding some nice runs and for the rebels, theres a forest ski park known as the Stash. Worth skiing through onceeven if you avoid the scary stuff.

Great family resort and one to recommend.

Have skied in morzine/avoriaz for the last 10 years, both with family and friends. The ski area itself is absolutely huge , with a wide range of runs , including easy and beginner runs (nice and wide) as well as tricky reds and blacks , both pisted and unpisted. The village itself is ski in ski out which makes it so efficient to get straight on that first lift in the morning! The snowpark also has a range of jumps/rails and the infamous stash snow park is great for all thrill seekers, and makes great entertainment for those watching from the lift above! The area is so vast yet very pretty, especially lower down which has lots of tree runs , very suitable for enjoying with the family, with many restaurants both on the side of slopes as well as in the village. For those into après ski, foile douce is a big favourite and hosts live music all afternoon into the early evening. It also has a spa and amusement pool, again suitable for those with younger families and those wanting an afternoon off the slopes.
It is also just a lift away from morzine which is lower in the valley , and hosts another huge mountain of more ski runs, lots of walking trails and amazing views so the whole area has everything you could want!
