The Ski Resort

Avoriaz sits at 1,800 metres and is part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the world’s largest ski areas, with diverse terrain for all levels. It’s a one-of-a-kind ski resort in the French Alps, famous for its car-free design and eco-friendly architecture that blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. Established in the 1960s, the resort was designed to be fully ski-in, ski-out, allowing visitors to access the slopes directly from their accommodations. Instead of cars, transportation is done on foot, skis, or horse-drawn sleighs, which only adds to the magical alpine atmosphere.

The Ski Slopes

As part of the Portes du Soleil ski area, Avoriaz provides access to over 600 kilometres of pistes, making it a paradise for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. Beginners can enjoy the wider, more gentle slopes, while intermediates have endless scenic runs to try. For advanced riders, the legendary Swiss Wall is a must, including one of the steepest mogul runs in Europe. Freestylers will love The Stash, an eco-friendly snow park set in the forest with natural obstacles. Snowboarders and skiers can also enjoy multiple snow parks with jumps, rails, and halfpipes. Avoriaz’s high altitude and north-facing slopes mean that the snow conditions are excellent throughout the season. With breathtaking scenery, well-connected runs, and diverse terrain, Avoriaz is a dream destination for winter sports lovers.

Après Ski

Avoriaz has a fantastic après-ski scene with a good mix of restaurants, bars, and late-night clubs, perfect for however you want to unwind after a day on the slopes. Whether you're craving traditional dishes like fondue and raclette or international cuisine, there are plenty of dining options in the resort. For drinks and socialising, après-ski bars range from casual spots with mountain views to energetic venues featuring live music and DJs. Avoriaz also plays host to Snowboxx and Rock the Pistes, both of which are festivals for snow enthusiasts and music-lovers from all over.
