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.

Live avoriaz. Been multiple times. Especially with it being carless makes it feel more magical. Great slopes, especially tree runs. Not as wild as some resorts but perfect for us

This is the 4th time we visited avoriaz and we love it. Everything is easily accessible and the resort is car free. There are plenty of options for non skiers (spa, swimming pool, bowling) lots of restaurants and bars as well.
Our kids learnt to ski on these slopes and they have a great time every year.

Went with a group of 6 others with varying ability levels. Due to being late season skiing the snow was slushy in the town and lower but still good at altitude. Lots of blue run options but relatively limited advanced terrain unless you buy the wider portes du soleil lift pass. Lots of options for eating out and the apres ski is good.

Skiing in Avoriaz is wonderful for all abilities, we stayed in the resort and loved the ski in and out. It made it easier and quicker to get more skiing time in. We love the car free and the fact that it’s high up there is so much snow. The pistes are easily marked so you can easily find your way around. The Avoriaz up and down app is really informative and a good source of information. There is a good selection of restaurants that cater for large parties, some you can’t book is annoying, we ended up sticking to the ones you could book as it made planning evenings easier. There is a good selection of bars for apres drinks and these include along the pistes. It’s really a little gem of a resort. We would love to go back.

We stayed at Résidence Saskia Falaise - Avoriaz which was perfect. Ski in / ski out. The town is stunning with everything at your door step. The runs were well manicured and lifts were all running smoothly.

Have been twice and loved it both times. It is very busy so it is best to get up and out early but we have to go in school holidays - this time over new year. I’m beginner but my children and husband are intermediates and they enjoyed all the harder blue and red runs. The town is lovely and skiing through it is amazing. There is also lots for kids to do such as the ice rink, swimming pool and sledging. We can’t wait to return!

We have just returned from Avoriaz, as a Family of 4, myself 43, my wife Lucy 42 and our children Mason 13, and Daughter Amirah 10, It was our 1st time in the French alps, and it didn't disapoint, absolutely stunning place. We have ski'd as a family since the children were 2, and have been to Bansko with friends over the past 12 years, Avoriaz is such a stunning place, it snowed every day on our stay which was magical, ski conditions were awesome, well groomed and so much easier to ski compared to bansko, not knocking Bansko at all, but the conditions we had were just awesome. The apartments we stayed in were pierre and vacancies Electra, clean tidy and ski in ski out which was a game changer for us! Ski lockers on the 2nd floor, clip in and off you go, the ski passes allowed us to ski in the large area of portes de soleil, which allowed us to drop into Switzerland as well, Amazing to see the Swiss wall. Whilst in Avoriaz we as a family of 4 went out for an evening meal every evening apart from 1 where we were all exhausted, the average price for a family meal of one main meal each and drinks was anything between £120 and £200 euros, the quality of food was very good, but slightly on the expensive side, a pint of beer was 10 euros on average, but honestly If you could see how magical this place is, then you can justify some of the prices, we had the most amazing time here, and had Tears from my daughter when we were leaving, we can safely say that it's the best ski trip we have ever had. More than enough slopes for all levels of skiing, quiet slopes, quick ski lifts, hardly any ques, horse and carriage to and from accommodation, so much to do while there, aquariaz water park was awesome on our last day, and theres bowling and a cinema also. We wouldn't hesitate to returning to Avoriaz, absolutely the best skiing and around ski trip we've ever had. We are missing it so so much already. Hoping to visit again next year, I've already started pricing up!

Loved the vibe and that there were no cars, boarding out the door was very fun runs I made it on were great . Apres was perfect and every restaurant we went to was great with lots of options. Shops with all the kit was a godsend when my luggage was lost and saved the holiday! Plenty of rental shops as well. Lesson on the first day was lots of fun and a great way to find my feet for the rest of my time there. Can’t wait to go back

My first trip abroad skiing with my partner who has been here before. With only a bit of Scottish skiing under my belt, I found this an amazing place to develop my skills, the place, the scenery, the ease of everything here - so geared up for the ski life I can’t believe how easy everything is. The green runs are scenic and beautiful; nice restaurants scattered about for a very welcome hot chocolate. Friendly staff and locals, fun atmosphere - après ski a particular highlight. I would absolutely love to return here again if I can.

Just simply amazing. Good snow coverage and once you helmet away from the main clusters of people you have relatively quiet slopes. Lots of varied blue and red runs and my friends said there were good choices for the advanced skiers too! Will absolutely be going back!

Skiing in Avoriaz offers great value thanks to its ski-in/ski-out design, reliable snow, and direct access to the massive Portes du Soleil ski area. Huge terrain, smooth lift access, and a car-free village make it one of the most convenient resorts in the Alps

Amazing resort with stunning views. We went there durning Snowboxx so it was probably busier than usual but this didn’t impact the lift lines or space on the slopes. There are plenty of slopes for all levels. I’ve been going for 3 years now and still haven’t ticked all runs off.
