Where to Stay in Avoriaz

Avoriaz may be better known for its apartments but it still offers a great choice of chalets. You can pick from luxury catered properties with private chefs and hot tubs to self-catered chalets that work well for shorter stays. Styles range from traditional Savoyard farmhouses to sleek modern builds, with options to book by the room or take the whole place for your group. Whether you’re after comfort, convenience or indulgence there’s a chalet to suit.

Renting an apartment in Avoriaz is ideal if you want self-catered accommodation, especially for smaller groups or families. Options range from small studios to large luxury apartments with five-star facilities. Apartments offer flexibility with dates, catering and stay length and are often more budget-friendly than chalets. Many have ski-to-door access, WiFi and boot warmers, while high-end options may include private chefs, spa treatments and chauffeur services, giving you the freedom to tailor your stay.

Avoriaz has a small selection of hotels and chalet-style properties offering high standards and plenty of facilities. Hotels are a great choice if you’re not planning a full week away, as they often provide flexibility with dates and catering. From budget-friendly to luxury they feature extras like spas, swimming pools, fitness rooms and childcare, making them ideal for families, groups or anyone looking for a hassle-free stay with easy access to the slopes.

Avoriaz doesn’t have its own campsites or motorhome areas but you’ll find options close by. The nearest campsite is in Montriond, around a 10 minute drive from Morzine, with further sites in Les Gets and Saint Jean d’Aulps that open in both summer and winter. If you’re travelling by motorhome, the official aire in Morzine on the Route de la Plagne is open year round. Stays are paid in the main seasons but free in between.

Mountain huts and refuges around Avoriaz are a great alternative way to experience the Alps up close, whether you’re hiking in summer or skiing in winter. These unique spots provide rest stops, meals and sometimes overnight stays, offering traditional alpine hospitality in a relaxed setting. Many are reachable on foot, skis or snowshoes, making them perfect for a more authentic mountain adventure. Inside, you’ll find hearty food, warm fires and friendly hosts to share local stories.

If you’re after a touch of luxury in and around Avoriaz, you’ll find plenty to choose from. The resort is home to stylish chalets, apartments and hotels with top-end touches like private spas, swimming pools, hot tubs and even cinema rooms. Many of the newer apartment buildings in the centre have high-end facilities right on your doorstep, while the surrounding chalets offer a more private setting with equally impressive features. You can stay right in the heart of the pedestrian village for easy access to the lifts and restaurants, or opt for quieter spots like Les Prodains, just a short cable car ride from the pistes. Either way, you can expect comfort, style and those all-important mountain views.

If you’re heading to Avoriaz with the kids, convenience is key. The resort’s traffic-free layout means little legs don’t have to dodge cars, and you’ll never be far from the lifts, ski schools or a hot chocolate stop. Staying close to the nursery slopes can make mornings much easier, especially if your children have lessons booked. The Festival sector is a great choice for families, with apartments just a short stroll from the tourist office, piste-side restaurants and ski school meeting points. Wherever you stay in Avoriaz, you’re never more than five minutes from the essentials, so you can spend less time walking in ski boots and more time enjoying the snow.

If you want to keep the costs down, Avoriaz has plenty of affordable places to stay without missing out on the slopes. Many of the older apartment blocks offer great value for money and are just a few metres from the pistes, making them ideal if you want to ski straight from your door. Studios are usually the cheapest option and can often sleep four to six people, perfect for sharing costs with friends or family. For chalet stays, you’ll often find the best deals down in Les Prodains, right by the lift that whisks you up to the resort. Even if you choose a more economical spot, you’re never more than a five minute walk or ski from the action.

If you love the idea of clipping off your skis right outside your door, Avoriaz is made for you. Almost all of the accommodation here is ski-in ski-out thanks to its pedestrianised, snow-covered streets. It was designed that way back in the late 1960s, when the architects set out to create a car-free resort where the streets themselves double as ski runs. Whether you’re in a cosy apartment or a chalet with friends, you can get straight from your doorstep on skis to the lifts in the morning and ski right back home at the end of the day.

Avoriaz has a lively après-ski scene and, because the resort is small and pedestrianised, it’s easy to stroll from one bar to the next. Many of the main spots are in the Portes du Soleil building, where Globe Trotters and Shooters Bar are favourites for après, especially when the Dutch and Swedish visitors are in town. You’ll also find some great places to grab a drink in the Falaise sector, such as the Chapka and La Falaise.

The villages and towns around Avoriaz offer a great mix of traditional charm and ski convenience, with accommodation to suit all needs. Avoriaz itself sits high on a plateau with easy access to the rest of the Portes du Soleil ski area, while Morzine below is a lively mountain town with historical buildings, a weekly market and a wide choice of chalets, apartments and hotels. Nearby Les Gets is smaller and snowier, full of pretty chalets, and Montriond, Les Lindarets, Chatel and St Jean d’Aups provide quieter, scenic options with flexible accommodation for families, couples and groups.
