About Avoriaz

 

Built on a sheer granite cliff and well placed on the Portes du Soleil circuit, Avoriaz has arguably the world’s largest lift-connected ski region.

Avoriaz is also famous for its wood clad buildings in award winning architectural style and indeed won an award for this. A “doorstep skiing” pioneer, linked to Swiss resorts in the Region via the legendary ‘Wall’ descent (you can take the chair down instead if necessary). Skiing for all standards, plus plenty for experts including five testing blacks (20 in Region). Avoriaz is a car free zone designed for relaxed living, with a famous childrens’ village in the centre.

The Ski Area

Avoriaz is part of the expansive Portes du Soleil ski area, one of the largest interconnected ski domains in the world. With over 600km of pistes, it caters to all skill levels — from beginner-friendly green runs to adrenaline-inducing black slopes for experts. Highlights include:

  • Off-piste adventures and tree-lined descents for seasoned skiers.
