Avoriaz Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Avoriaz snow conditions
Avoriaz feels properly settled into winter as Christmas week arrives. The resort is fully snow covered, the village streets are white underfoot, and there is a steady hum of skiers heading up early each morning. With its high altitude and north facing slopes, Avoriaz has held onto snow well through December and the build up to Christmas has brought a sense of confidence that conditions are in good shape for the festive period.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths in Avoriaz are strong for this stage of the season, with around 150 cm reported at altitude and approximately 80 cm around resort level. Recent snowfall earlier in the week added a fresh layer across the area, particularly above mid mountain, and cold overnight temperatures have helped the snow settle and ski well. Daytime temperatures have been staying close to or just below freezing at altitude, which is keeping piste conditions consistent, especially during the morning. Lower slopes are also in good condition compared to many Decembers, with coverage far more reliable thanks to both natural snowfall and sustained cold weather. Winds have generally been light, allowing lifts to operate smoothly and keeping the snow surface in good shape.
Outlook & What’s On
The forecast for the next few days points toward stable winter weather, with cold nights and mostly dry days, and the chance of light snowfall returning later in the week. These conditions should help maintain the current snowpack and keep pistes skiing well through Christmas and into the New Year period. Festive events are well underway in Avoriaz, with Christmas celebrations, family activities, and seasonal entertainment taking place across the resort. The car free village atmosphere really comes into its own this week, with torchlit descents, Christmas performances, and plenty happening in the bars and restaurants as visitors settle in for the holiday week.
Snow Takeaway
Avoriaz is offering reliable and confidence inspiring skiing heading into Christmas. Snow cover is strong across the resort, piste conditions are consistent, and the outlook suggests the festive period should deliver good skiing at all levels. If you are visiting over the next few days, expect solid snow, cold temperatures, and a resort that feels very ready for Christmas.
