Avoriaz Review Summary

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.

Love Avoriaz, The centre of the ski area give you plenty of time to visit all the towns. The best snow in the Porte de Soleli. Love the car free resort. The week give you time to really switch off. Great access to Morzine via the cable car and buses.

Loved it. A family group, all ages, all abilities. Would like to see more live music in places but aside from that, something for everyone and we all loved it.

Resort is bustling and magical. No cars makes it safe and a lovely atmosphere. We went in half term and still found options easily for food and drink. Lots to do and staff helpful and polite.

Nice ski area, with access to Switzerland. Car free resort which really helps the holiday feeling! Down side is lots of block of flats accommodation which are quite run down and not very aesthetically pleasing.

Avoriaz is a great resort. Everything is close by, easy to get around. Easy to access lifts. Central position in portes du soleil ski area. Plenty of skiing options. Plenty of eating options. Slightly more reasonably priced than other French resorts for food and drink. Some good Apres spots. Most accommodation if not all ski in ski out.

Excellent first time staying in resort. Great week and lovely atmosphere over Christmas. Based at the top of the resort gave fantastic views. Close to Swiss border enabling a great tour of the area, but pistes in and around resort were fab.

Some of the best ski to door in the alps in arguably one of the prettiest resorts with easy access to high altitude skiing on the French Swiss border Porte du Soleil region.

Great resort with a huge skiing domain. Good choice of slopes from beginner to expert. So nice that there are no cars in the town and the whole town is permanently snowy all winter unlike the lower villages of Morzine and Les Gets. Lots to do for kids in the town, ice skating, tobogganing, horse rides and an amazing jungle pool. Lots of nice restaurants on the slopes and a few nice ones in the town.

I visited Avoriaz as a solo snowboarder as my 3rd or 4th snowboarding trip (lots of indoor experience prior)

I thought the slopes and the town were fantastic. I had ski in/out accommodation and never found myself waiting long for lifts.

The variation in slopes here felt so nice. Their were winding runs between trees, snow park options, rolling hills, and sharp, steep slopes to bomb down.

The food was great and all the folk were lovely too. I've been wanting to back again since but just haven't made it fit with family affairs.

100% recommend heading here!
