Avoriaz - Resort description & ski information

Avoriaz is part of the Portes du Soleil ski area near the French/Swiss border. The resort is renowned for snowboarding thanks to the many international competitions held there. Avoriaz has plenty on offer - whether you are looking for good apres-ski or a family resort! There is a friendly atmosphere thanks partly to the fact that it is a pedestrian only resort.

Skiing in Avoriaz

Avoriaz is suited to all levels of skier and rider. Skiing in Avoriaz you really feel that you are 'going somewhere' each day rather than repeatedly skiing the same slopes. For advanced skiers there are some good off-piste near the Les Hauts Forts sector and a long testing black run from Le Plan Brazy which follows the steep line of the FIS downhill course. For boarders there are three terrain parks, including La Chapelle for beginners and The Tete aux Boeufs - where international competitions are held.

The Resort & Ski Accommodation Information

Ski France offers you Residence P&V Sepia and Residence Maeva Les Fontaines Blanches, close to the resort centre and ski-lifts. You will appreciate these fabulous self-catering apartments with ski in ski out facilities.

Part of the charm of Avoriaz is that the village streets are pistes, making this the definitive destination for doorstep skiing. The resort also has a wide choice of restaurants, such as La Table du Marche or Restaurant Gastronomique. The Place, Le Shooter's, Globe Trotters Cafe and Le Tavaillon-Pub are all popular international pubs with live music attracting the young English crowd. For late night partying head to Le Fest and Pub Le Choucas.
