Search hotels in Avoriaz

There is a Main Street where you will find everything you need all in one place. The supermarket is great for grabbing cheaper food / snacks if your apartment has a small kitchen I’d recommend not eating out daily as it can get pricey because obviously it’s tourist prices. There are plenty of restaurants open daily and into the night..with a few take away places also. The help centre is great, all the staff where very helpful, unfortunately we had our skis stolen from our balcony area, the staff recommended the police, but they just told us to report it here in the U.K..not so helpful! As a group we had a fantastic trip, slopes are great for beginners and intermediates, they have a wide range of ski parks for all abilities, we would definitely visit again!

Spectacular views of the area, both from accommodation and from every ski slope. Very charming town, with good shopping opportunities both for food and retail. Good restaurants in town and on the slopes. No cars in town, only horse drawn carriages. Easy to walk around town.

The resort is fully pedestrianised - you leave the car at a parking above the resort, and then either jump on a horse-drawn sleigh or pull your luggage to your accommodation on a sledge (take the sleigh!). The clean air and lack of traffic immediately add to your sense of escape and transforms Avoriaz into a really relaxing and quiet experience where it's easy to disconnect. And since it is at 1800 meters above sea level, it is pretty much guaranteed that you will have tons of snow. Avoriaz is a relatively big town of high-rise apartments. True, not as charming as a town full of small chalets, but the wooden architecture is not bad and there are lots of shops, activities (e.g. cinema, skate ring, a heated pool complex, a bowling alley and even dog sledding), as well as restaurants and bars to choose from. In terms of ski, there are literally hundreds of kilometres of ski slopes in the porte du soleil area that range from the almost flat green ones for beginners, to red, black and even the famous "Swiss wall" which is regarded as one of the most difficult slopes in the alps. And since there are so many different options and the ski lifts are relatively modern, there is never too much waiting (which is a killer in other stations). Given it's position, most apartments are "ski-in, ski-out", which is a much nicer experience than those stations were you need to walk a lot, drive or take a bus. No one needs to walk more than a few paces to start skiing But it goes without saying that you may need to check what is open and available in case of a continued COVID crisis.

Ski in ski out. Resort covered in snow so gives the alpine experience whereas other lower resorts have no snow. Child friendly, no cats, can sledge in the evenings etc, good variety of cafes, pubs, restaurants. Not much not to like about Avoriaz.

Avoriaz... good family resort with good intermediate skiing. Lots of takeaway pizza places to eat back at Apartment. Tip.. you need to make reservation for eating out at the many restaurants as they get very busy.

First time staying in Avoriaz after staying in other areas around the Porte du soleil, I would stay there again especially with kids as everything is on the doorstep. The swimming pool in resort is an extra bonus
