Reading the Avoriaz piste map
The Avoriaz ski area is organised around a central plateau with multiple sectors extending outward in all directions. On the piste map, the resort sits at the centre, acting as a hub from which skiers can move towards surrounding areas and into the wider Portes du Soleil domain.
- At the centre, Avoriaz (1,800 m) forms the main base of the ski area. The terrain immediately around the resort is dominated by green and blue pistes, particularly across Plateau, Proclou and Chapelle, making it ideal for beginners and early intermediates. From here, all major directions of the ski area are accessible without returning to a single lift hub.
- To the south-west, the ski area descends towards Super Morzine and Morzine, where slopes become more tree lined and sheltered. This sector features a mix of blue and red pistes and is particularly useful in poor visibility, while also acting as a key connection to the lower valley.
- To the north and north-west, the Chavanette and Les Lindarets sector forms one of the main junctions on the map, linking Avoriaz to Châtel and other parts of the domain. This area includes more technical terrain, with a higher concentration of red and black pistes, including the well known Swiss Wall.
- To the north-east, the Pointe de Mossettes sector (up to 2,277 m) provides direct access into Switzerland, linking to Les Crosets and Champoussin. This is a higher, more exposed area with predominantly red and black pistes and strong snow reliability throughout the season.
- To the east and south-east, quieter sectors such as Fornet and Prolays offer a more relaxed skiing experience. These areas feature a mix of blue and red pistes, fewer crowds, and serve as alternative routes across the ski area while opening up wide alpine views.
