AVORIAZ

Travel sustainably - leaf icon

Avoriaz is a top choice for SkiWeekends customers looking for an unforgettable ski or snowboarding holiday in France. This charming resort has a modern Alpine vibe that’s perfect for families, groups, or couples seeking a snow-sure destination.

Nestled high in the mountains at 1800m, and with a maximum altitude of 2466m, Avoriaz offers some truly stunning views. You’ll be treated to breathtaking sights down the valley towards Lake Geneva and the surrounding Dents du Midi and Dents Blanches peaks. The resort's unique architecture, which blends perfectly with the cliffs, only adds to its charm.

One of the standout features of Avoriaz is that it’s completely car-free. Instead, you’ll find horse-drawn sledges and snowcats transporting guests around the resort’s restaurants, hotels, and shops. Plus, with ski-in/ski-out accommodations, you can hit the slopes right from your doorstep, maximizing your time on the snow.

Beyond skiing, Avoriaz offers plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. There’s the 'Aquariaz' indoor water center, a bowling alley, an indoor ice skating rink, and a variety of bars and restaurants to enjoy in the evenings. It’s a magical destination, especially during Christmas and New Year's, where you can fully immerse yourself in a winter wonderland.

Avoriaz is also home to some incredible on-mountain festivals. Whether you're looking to test out new gear at Rock on Snow or dance the night away at the week long Snowboxx Festival- which transforms Avoriaz into the ultimate party destination, there’s something for everyone. For more details, be sure to check out our Activities and Events guide.

With our 5 ski in ski out chalets offering a total of 60 beds, as well as the Hotel Des Dromonts we can create an amazing group ski holiday just for you.

SKI AREA OVERVIEW

The Portes du Soleil spans a huge area, straddling both France and Switzerland , with a whopping 650km of marked pistes to explore. It’s a dream for skiers, offering endless terrain and the unique experience of crossing borders while you ride. At the heart of it all is Avoriaz, one of the standout resorts. Located at 1800 meters, it's the most snow-sure spot in the area, with excellent conditions throughout the season. Whether you're into off-piste adventures or easy-going blue runs, Avoriaz has something for everyone, and you'll never get bored with the variety of slopes.

The Avoriaz local area alone has 75km of piste, perfect for a few days of skiing through stunning high-mountain and tree-lined runs.

For intermediate skiers, the area offers tons of variety and challenges—like trying to ski around the entire Portes du Soleil in a single day. Thanks to recent upgrades in the lift system, this is easier than ever, with shorter lift queues and quicker access to different parts of the mountain. Plus, the slopes are meticulously maintained, so you can enjoy smooth, early-morning runs.

Avoriaz truly has something for everyone. Beginners can practice their snowplough in dedicated areas, while more experienced skiers can tackle thrilling descents, like the one from the top of Le Fornet or the famous Swiss Wall, with its daunting 90% gradient. And if you're into snow parks head to The Stash, an epic run through the trees, using natural features to create a fun playground for both skiers and snowboarders. For the little shredders (or those wanting to build up their skills) then head to Lil Stash for some smaller sized features.

Your Avoriaz ski holiday awaits!

AVORIAZ TOP TIPS
  • Advanced skiers, be sure to go and test yourselves on both the Coupe du Monde (world cup run) and the Swiss Wall down towards Les Croset – they are must ski runs when in the area!

  • If you are looking for a bite to eat, head down to Les Brochaux where the Mossettes and Brochaux chairlifts go from. There is a lovely restaurant called Les Ancelles with some superb food (be sure to try the beef bourguignon!) and a lovely terrace to sit and enjoy the sun.

  • Intermediate and advanced skiers can try the circuit that takes you all the way over to Châtel and back around through the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil (Morgins, Les Crosets etc.) – it makes for a great day out but be sure to start early! A real ski holiday memory day!

  • Enjoy an apres ski drink Chez Flo umberella bar – its just around the corner from the top of the Prodains Express.

  • Try out the savoury pancakes at Le Yeti, and then enjoy the music out in the sun in the afternoons!  
  • Ski down to the bottom of the Prodain Express in the morning for a coffee at one of the slope side bars
