March in Avoriaz: What's on and weather
It's quieter, warmer with longer days, great skiing and long lazy lunches in the sun.
More than half the season done, it's magical March and a chilled vibe settles on the resort.
With fewer families around, you also tend to find far fewer ski schools on the hill which, of course, also means an end to those long, snaking trails of beginners making their way down. It also makes for much quieter lift lines. So, all in all, an ideal month to visit to make the best of the near perfect conditions. March is serious party and festival month in Avoriaz.
Read on for a look at what we like to get up to when spring arrives in town.
What are the weather and snow conditions like
This time of year is a pretty safe bet for a ski holiday. The base has had time to build up and the temperatures are generally still low, so the snow is usually good. There is regular snowfall, on average five days and temperatures still dip below freezing at night to freshen it up. In March the average daytime temperatures generally fall between a high of 7°C and a low of -1ºC, getting around six hours of sunshine.
Skiing
Ski lessons in Avoriaz
Now is a great time to take a private lesson or join a group ski or snowboard lesson, with the quieter slopes there's less queues and the softening snow makes for a much kinder landing.
Nightlife in Avoriaz
Avoriaz has a variety of bars happily welcoming you with live DJs, live music and acoustic sets. One thing's for sure in this place, you won't have to stumble far in your ski boots to find a jug of beer and some good snacks before you head home for dinner.. or not! It's definitely easier to get a last minute table for dinner now the school holiday crowds aren't here.
March might be considered the party month here in Avoriaz. Longer days and warmer weather make for better après-ski, while more adults and fewer children mean bigger nights in the bars. Of course, one of the biggest parties of the season is on 17 March. For St. Patrick’s Day, expect promotions on Irish drinks, fancy dress and lots of live renditions of the Irish Rover.
