Avoriaz ski holidays
Table of contents
Avoriaz has everything to make your skiing holiday unforgettable. Unspoiled mountains with breathtaking views, unusual but incredible accommodation, and great fun for the entire family. But best of all, there's guaranteed snow from December to April.
It has the unique advantage of being France’s only totally pedestrianised resort. Here you can walk, sled and ski all over, without worrying about cars. In fact, cars are nowhere to be seen - even the taxis are horse-drawn sleighs!
Avoriaz is a wonderful resort for families. With a unique Children’s Village, it has lots to offer and activities to keep everyone amused for hours. Children up to 16 years old receive a reduced rate ski pass, with a free ski pass for children under 5. There are also two snow parks exclusively for children.
The Voyage Prive travel expert's opinion on ski holidays to Avoriaz
For those who love skiing and wonderful scenery, Avoriaz is the place to be. If you’re an advanced skier, there are 20 red and black pistes to try as well as plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. One of our favourite spots is off the Chamossiere Express.
Let’s not forget the incredible array of festivals, concerts, music events and the fairy-tale Christmas festival of lights, which is not to be missed. Wrapped in a blanket of snow, Avoriaz offers every one of its visitors ‘ski-in, ski-out’ convenience, regardless of where in the resort they are staying. Choose Avoriaz and you will experience a truly unforgettable skiing holiday full of fun and wonder.
