The famous high altitude resort of Avoriaz offers terrain for all ages and abilities and is part of one of the largest linked ski areas in the world, the Portes du Soleil. Find out more about this winter destination.

A man-made resort created in 1966, based on the dream of Jean Vuarnet (downhill skiing World Champion and Olympic Champion), that there could exist a resort with no cars that skiers could literally take over. Designed so that apartment buildings, chalets and amenities intertwine with skiable paths, the vehicle-free resort was born with the Prodains cable car inaugurated in March 1963.

Avoriaz is easily accessible, just 95km from Geneva airport, making transfers simple. Ideal for families and beginners, it features gentle wide slopes and a central kids club. Located in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, it offers 130km of interlinked pistes. The resort is renowned for freestyle skiing, home to the Burton-designed Stash snowpark and Avoriaz Snowzone. With abundant sunshine and an average of 7.5m of snow, Avoriaz provides excellent conditions throughout the season.
