Airport Transfers in Avoriaz
If you're travelling independently, booking an airport transfer is one of the easiest ways to reach the resort. Private transfers offer door-to-door service and can be excellent value for families and groups. If you book a private transfer, you'll find some companies will even arrange a supermarket stop en route if requested in advance, allowing you to stock up before reaching the more expensive mountain shops. If you choose to hire a car instead, compare prices carefully and ensure it is fully equipped for winter mountain driving.

Good value accommodation
Avoriaz offers accommodation for every budget, from privately rented chalets and apartments to hotels and catered chalets. Booking direct or through French property agencies can often save money, while hotels may offer flexible stay lengths. However, package holidays from tour operators can be excellent value, often including flights, transfers, accommodation, lift passes and ski hire. For budget-conscious travellers, late deals and some holiday packages can include accommodation, meals, equipment, lift pass and instruction, which are well worth considering.

Ski Schools in Avoriaz
For the best availability with the ski schools aim to ski in mid-January or mid-March, snow conditions are often excellent, and resorts are quieter. These quieter weeks are also an ideal time to book private or group lessons, as instructors have greater availability and children aren't filling most of the lesson slots. The week after New Year is often the cheapest of the season. If you're restricted to school holidays, Easter is usually more affordable and less crowded than the busy February half-term period.
Ski passes are an essential but potentially expensive element of every ski holiday, and it's worth noting when the lift passes go on sale (usually mid-November) and making sure you take advantage of any early-bird offers the lift companies are doing to entice advance sales. Some ski schools will include your pass in your booking, so it's wise to check with them if you'll need one.
