Discover the latest lift opening and closing dates
The extensive Avoriaz and Portes du Soleil lift network is open both summer and winter.
Situated in the centre of the Portes du Soleil this completely pedestrianised resort is made up of wooden-clad apartments and chalets, and is the perfect base from which to explore one of the world's largest interlinked ski domaines.

Weather/snow conditions permitting, you can usually ski in Avoriaz from December-April using the lift system. Naturally, the season can be extended, typically with weekend openings in November or by ski-touring/hiking yourself up!
Season start and end dates may vary slightly as they are dependent on snow conditions, and some parts of the Portes du Soleil may open early, at weekends only, if the snow cover is good enough. Also, there may be a reduced ski area in operation if snow cover is insufficient or due to early/late season ramp up/down.

It's worth remembering that strong winds, dangerous snow conditions and other adverse weather can affect when the lifts run. If you're in resort, make sure you check our live lift status page for up-to-date information on lift closures.
During the summer months the lift system is more restricted than in winter, but still offers fantastic mountain access to hikers, bikers and selfie-takers!
