Beach volleyball in the heart of the French Alps may sound strange but in Avoriaz you can hop on the sand and play a game of volleyball with your friends or family.

Open every day.

The 'Aquariaz' centre is an aquatic paradise offering a huge water park made up of a gentle flowing indoor river, a Slidewinder (an aquatic halfpipe), a toddler's paddling pool and water playhouse, and a large pool with natural climbing walls.

Go to the ice-skating rink in Morzine for fun loops with friends and family. With a refreshment bar, music and lighting you can enjoy the indoor ice skating rink at Parc des Dereches all year round. Open during the day and with night sessions from 09:00-23:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, although be warned these are sometimes postponed due to hockey matches or special events.

Most people probably don't immediately associate Avoriaz with shopping, but there are some very good shops in town. You can spend a very pleasant afternoon or après ski evening browsing the stores for gifts, new ski and snowboard kit, clothes, shoes, watches and jewellery.

If a more relaxing day is what you're after, there are plenty of therapists in Avoriaz who are ready and waiting to pamper and spoil you with a large range of treatments, from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures.

There are a number of places where you can play squash whilst you're in Avoriaz either during winter or summer. Normally located in the main sports centre, you should be able to rent all you need on site. Alternatively some of the hotels or spas have their own squash courts too.
