- CAR-FREE RESORT
Avoriaz is the only car-free resort in France, and what’s more every chalet and residence is accessible on skis. Parents can spend their holidays with complete peace of mind, in the knowledge that their little ones are safe from traffic around the town. The ice skating rink, the sledge slope, and the children’s village are located in the centre of Avoriaz.
- GIANT SKI AREA
Avoriaz is ideally placed right in the middle of the Portes du Soleil, with 650km of high altitude slopes in France and Switzerland, offering panoramic skiing between Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. The resort is the perfect starting point for those seeking to explore the the Portes du Soleil area, with the option of skiing to a different resort everyday of the week for lunch.
- ONE OF EUROPE’S TOP RIDING RESORTS
The resort has adopted their snowpark design from the Californian resort of North Star. An area in the middle of the forest caters for a mixture of freeride and freestyle abilities. Three natural non-groomed slopes of varying steepness wind in and out of the trees in the Lindarets forest. To make it more exciting, the runs also have hidden wooden obstacles to discover when hurtling down a ”secret passage”.
- GET YOUR TAN ON
The village is located on a south-facing plateau, making it a delightful place to enjoy the après-ski on an outside terrace after a day on the sunny slopes.
- SING ALONG!
Avoriaz is the only ski resort in Europe planning a full programme of ski and music events for the 2011–12 season. The resort will become the biggest snow dance floor. On the agenda for this season: Snowsports Celebration (10–11 December), Avo Night Parties (28 January–4 February), Go Wild Outdoor Music Festival (24–28 March), and Jazz’Up Festival (31 March–7 April).
