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.

Went to avoriaz 1800 to work for 10 days best experience of my life the slopes are amazing so many options to choose from looking forward to booking another trip to just ski or snowboard or maybe both. Definitely a novice and have only been skiing on dry slopes at home so can’t wait to get back out an have a go on some real powder

Such a great resort! No cars- just skis, lifts and horse rides (be sure to bring your snow boots). Lots of fun for the family including skidoos, thermal spas and, of course, aprés!

As a skiing newbie I loved it. Loads of really nice accessible runs for a pizza French fries type of girl to get started with. Good availability of instructors and there’s ski hire delivery vans in Morzine which really help with getting yourself situated.
I didn’t go to La Folies but the vibe looked great, good mix of food n drink options and deckchairs for after.
Definitely a recommended place for beginners.

We had a really great week! The snow was great, we had fresh powder and there were lots of fun spots in the trees to ski. The ski area was large and there was loads of amazing runs.

Great experience the runs are lovely here. Good for both intermediate and beginner friendly runs. Good runs even in April and not too busy either. The spares were the best but as well incorporating smoking and fun together. Prices are not to bad if you book in advance as well a the actual staff and atmosphere surrounding are great as well. Over all a really great experience and I will be back again next year.

Avoriaz is a great intermediate resort. I love the easy access to other areas such as Chatel, the Swiss villages, Morzine and Les gets and if there is enough snow for the link to be open really enjoy skiing the porters du soleil circuit taking in lots of these villages. I have stayed in Avoriaz and at the bottom of the Prodains lifts (so technically Morzine) and find both to be very convenient.
The pistes are kept in good condition though can get a bit slushy and bumpy when it’s warmer. Love the tree lined runs and uniqueness of each area.

Avoriaz was my first ski trip, and boy did it get me hooked. We enjoyed a 5 star 6 person chalet which had everything we needed. The rental team were excellent, the lifts ran smoothly, the slopes were immaculate even though it must have been near capacity. All the local shops, restaurants and bars were welcoming and good value for money. We enjoyed the slopes all day for each of the 5 days we were there. I really couldn’t fault it. The apres was amazing fun and well run with great music and people of all ages having a great time. It was clean, friendly and left all of us feeling like we couldn’t wait to return.

Had skied in Avoriaz before, always enjoyed, but after having the pleasure of staying in Avoriaz during the epic Snowboxx festival I will 100% be returning as much as possible! The ski in/ski out accommodation is amazing, the Aprés vibes are unbeatable, the skiing is always perfect and the people are great!!

The lift system around the surrounding area of avoriaz is incredible it’s massive I bought the full lift pass and tried to get round as much of it as a I could in 5 days but probably didn’t even see half as a lot of runs were so fun I went up the same lifts multiple times, the after party in avoriaz is the best way to finish off the day if you’re young or old and enjoy a party

I am a beginner and I had an amazing time learning to ski in Avoriaz. I used Evolution2 Avoriaz to attend ski school with. My instructors were Yan and Alex and both were absolutely amazing and I will miss them. I would love to come back in the future to continue my ski school journey.

Amazing resort from beginners to advanced skiers and borders. Gateway to portes du soleil, massive ski area and can hop over to do the Swiss wall if you’re a machine. 10/10 no notes
