Christmas is a wonderful time of year wherever you spend it, but high in the snowy mountains, it's even more magical!

Even though it's his busiest time of year, Father Christmas will be popping in to Avoriaz during the festive period. Come and meet him, have your photo taken with him and give him your Christmas list.

When he's off delivering presents, his elves will still be here with a host of other activities that the whole family will enjoy:

  • The Christmas Village with elf workshops, a candy bar and food stalls with festive treats
  • Snowman workshops and many other activities
  • Sound and light spectacle to welcome Santa on Christmas Eve - there's a torchlit descent and fireworks display with mulled wine and hot chocolate
  • Christmas Day grand parade throughout the streets of Avoriaz with a procession of horse-drawn sleighs in all their finery

Check with Tourist Office for timings of individual events, and enjoy a truly unforgettable Christmas in the mountains!
