Activity Reviews in Avoriaz

Fancy doing something a little different this winter?

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...

Geocaching - It’s a modern treasure hunt and it’s happening right here!

Imagine a place where you can immerse yourself in warm, flowing water and bathe at a comfortable 30ºC whilst the air temperature is below freezing. Imagine being able to climb whilst in your swimming trunks, knowing that the fall will land you in clear blue water. Imagine all of this, whilst also being able to look outside over snow-smothered mountains. It sounds impossible, and you almost have to see it to believe it. Here in Avoriaz such a place really exists.

The love of taking selfies and using Instagram has taken over the world and no more so than when we're on holiday. The Portes du Soleil is the perfect canvas for your photo taking needs and with our help you'll be collecting those 'likes' like you're the next Kim Kardashian.

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.

Away from the bright lights of Avoriaz, down the windy mountain road to Thonon is a place like no other, steeped in a legend that leaves locals and visitors quivering with fear.

You wake up, open your eyes, look out of your window at the beautiful view of the Portes Du Soleil, and disaster strikes. The sky is grey, the rain is hammering down and the wind is howling. Not the hot sunny summer holiday you’d been hoping for. But don’t despair, it certainly doesn’t mean you’ll have to sit inside and do nothing.

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.

Founded in 1987 in Tignes with a pioneering philosophy towards both teaching and service, Evolution 2 has grown over the years with offices throughout the French Alps.

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.

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

Rachel took to the skies this week to see what it's like to paraglide over Morzine.. and it looks like great fun!
