"Avoriaz was the first resort I visited when I was learning to ski and it was perfect.  I highly recommend Changabang for its great burgers and fast child-friendly service at lunchtime.  "

Overview of Avoriaz

This magnificent ski-in/ski-out resort sits at a mighty 1800 metres and boasts possibly the largest amount of ski convenient accommodation in the Alps! As if that was not enough, it is part of one of the largest ski areas in France; the famous Portes du Soleil ski area which encompasses 12 excellent resorts including Morzine and Les Gets. Not only famed for its enormity – there are 650km of skiable pistes in the area - the Portes du Soleil is also supremely easily accessed from Geneva via an often sub-2-hour transfer.

3 Things We Love About Avoriaz

  1. Access to the Portes du Soleil ski area. All 650km of it.
  2. Get used to being escorted around the car-free resort via the local Hackney Carriage: a horse-drawn sleigh!
  3. A great range of accommodation options to suit every budget, with ALL being ski-in/ski-out.
