A great modern resort with an enormous 650km of piste and fantastic snow
Set high above Morzine, at 1800m, Avoriaz ski resort is the ideal gateway to 650km of slopes in the Portes du Soleil area. Some of the best skiing in France and Switzerland is accessible with an area pass, from the traditional French villages of Morzine and Les Gets to the high altitude skiing around Avoriaz. For those who like adventure, skiing across the border into Switzerland is not to be missed whilst those who like to stay local can enjoy some of the best snow in the Portes du Soleil. The resort itself is characterised by its bold, modern architecture and has a completely car free centre. The peacefulness that this brings, combined with its stunning mountain top location, makes Avoriaz the ideal place to escape the rat race.
A lively resort with lots to do. Try: the Tavaillon, 'The Place', 'La Cabane' and Globetrotters
· Sports Centre with sauna & solarium · Parapenting · Sleigh rides (Avoriaz) · Bowling alley · Ice skating · Helicopter rides · Snow shoe walking

First time skiers are well looked after in the Portes du Soleil area. Avoriaz has perfect nursery slopes next to the resort. Morzine has gentle nursery slopes at Le Pleney and our First Time package is ideal for complete beginners.
The Portes du Soleil is a fantastic area for intermediates. The skiing starts on your doorstep and for those who want to venture further, there is the entire Portes du Soleil circuit, with 650kms of runs. Join our Crystal Ski Escorts to make the most of your stay.
The Portes du Soleil area has some of the most challenging skiing in France, with over 20 black runs, some of the biggest moguls in the world on the 'Wall' at Avoriaz, endless off-piste possibilities and the hair-raising World Cup Downhill from the top of Les Hauts Forts.
Avoriaz is home to 'The Stash' a snowboard park built using natural materials, and is the brain child of 'Jack Burton' himself. Freeriders should check out the Hauts Forts area. Beginners will also find plenty of wide, easily accessible terrain.
