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.

Very good for beginners apart from getting back to the apartment the slopes were too busy and too steep. The atmosphere in town was amazing and the food out was good.

We were completely blown away with Avoriaz. Everything was so easy and accessible. It was our first family ski trip with our children, 4 and 10 years old. The accommodation was ski in ski out as as most, the choice of restaurants and bars - just perfect. We loved seeing the horses go past and evenings sledging and building snowman’s after a few hours of partying fun at Foliedouche. What more could you ask for! We will be back!!

Avoriaz is one for the books. A very hard resort to complete only managed to do 50 runs in 5 days. Definitely loved the Swiss side and I think having access to port de soleil as an option when you go is worth your money.

Avoriaz is my favourite ski resort due to the resort being a road vehicle free resort and the range of the skiing area being so big it offers so much in terms of different ski terrain at a high altitude with guaranteed snow.

Been going there many years. There is a variety of runs for all ages and is very easy to travel around. The huge resort means you can ski for long periods and constantly be in different areas of portes du solei. Most lifts are really efficient apart from tour at the bottom of avoriaz but they have introduced a single rider line that does work. Unfortunately you cannot avoid the lift but there is one smaller chair the other side of avoriaz that is more quiet if you can use it. So many good food options from self service in linderets to nicer restaurants and more importantly the apres in avoriaz is great. It’s all very centralised meaning it’s very easy to get to it / get home (might not even have to ski depending on your apartments). The transfer is really easy from Geneva / lots of parking for avoriaz village. It’s very pretty and have beautiful horses within the village. There’s a swimming pool if you wanted to change it up / not ski every day but still have apres a walk away. The one big downside is the main piece to avoriaz can be very crowded and not have good snow. This is because you have a range of abilities skiing + people and it can be chaos but it’s manageable. At the top of avoriaz although you can either compete (I watch) people doing massive amazing jumps and flips which is a great place to eat your lunch if it’s packed with seats etc.

This resort is magical, great for family trips. We went in Feb half term and the lifts did get busy as did the bars and restaurants however, that is understandable for half term. Lots of mixed ability runs, with good nursery slopes. The resort felt fun and friendly, plus some really great apres bars.
