Our collection of Avoriaz ski chalets and hotels provide the perfect base for ski holidays in Avoriaz. We have hotels and catered ski chalets in Avoriaz great for a family break, larger properties for group holidays and accommodation for couples ski holidays.

Of the 14 resorts of the Portes du Soleil area, Avoriaz has the best access.  Sitting at an altitude of 1,800m the resort is the ideal gateway to the world’s biggest international ski area.  There is a massive choice of piste – from picturesque tree-lined slopes to enormous, open, high altitude snow bowls.  A single pass can cover this whole area, incorporating 14 resorts, including Les Gets, Morzine and Chatel, giving you access to seemingly limitless skiing. 

Avoriaz has a lot to offer in its own right for all levels of skiers.  The adjoining valleys offer plenty of skiing for more advanced skiers who should also head up to the challenging Combe du Machon mogul field in the Hautes Forts sector for some incredible views of the resort.  The neighbouring Arare face is perfect for beginners with a large number of interconnecting runs whilst intermediates are probably best off taking the Express du Tour to Les Lindarets.  Snowboarding is big in Avoriaz and there are now three parks to choose from.  The Arare is 120m long and 4.5m high and plays host to a number of international competitions.  La Chapelle is designed especially for beginners and the third, which was added in 2006, is a children’s park.

Off piste there are loads of activities: dog sledding, trampolining, mountain biking.  For the more daring there is tandem parapenting, helicopter flights and balloon rides.  Or on the tamer side of life: bowling until 3am, ice skating or the cinema.  After all that you’ll need a drink and a sit down, fortunately, Avoriaz has a wide range of bars from the stylish to the highly Anglicised.
