Activity Reviews in Avoriaz

Holidays and trips away are about having fun and doing lots of activities, but they’re also about relaxing and escaping from your busy lives for a little while.

There's no end of spectacular walks and climbs around the Portes du Soleil but you'd be hard pressed to find any quite as challenging, fun and special as the Dent d'Oche ridge walk in the Abondance valley.

Going on an evening skidoo ride is one of the most popular things to do on a trip to Avoriaz. 

Avoriaz is well know for its many cycling and hiking routes, not to mention its mountain biking. I was chatting with hairdresser Beckalina Stewart at the weekend and together we've come up with a list of alternative things you might want to try out in Avoriaz during the summer.

There’s no doubt that most people come to Morzine to experience the amazing snowboarding and skiing that the Portes du Solei has to offer, however hidden underneath the colourful maze of amazing pistes and runs, there’s a much more sedate activity you can do - snowshoeing.

From flat to hilly, rocky to muddy, there’s something for everyone who likes to trail run..

Imagine for a minute soaring high above the mountains, with only the sound of the wind for company and with spectacular views rolling out for miles and miles beneath you. That’s exactly what you feel when on the Fantasticable Zipwire in Chatel. Admittedly that flying sensation is accompanied with a few other sensations as well...fear, panic, excitement and of course a bit more fear...

It’s often tricky when you’re on holiday with children to find something that everyone wants to do. “I don’t want to go on another walk”, “I’m bored of climbing mountains”, “why can’t we go on the luge AGAIN?” It’s hard to please everyone. So when the family suggested taking a trip over the mountains to Switzerland, I was reticent. Surely it wouldn’t be that fun for the little ones? How wrong I was.

"The worst thing about holidaying in Avoriaz is having to leave"!

Telemark skiing is a style that many will identify on the mountain, yet there are few who are attracted to enjoy this particular discipline.

What more could you want from a weekend of mountain biking in the Alps but sunshine, rain, mud, great people, great trails and a lot of cheese!

Fancy doing something a little different this winter?
