The sun will shine bright to start the new year 2020 in Avoriaz. Thanks to the dumps we got at the beginning of the season, there's a very good base layer on all the slopes making for great on-piste conditions.

Christmas week was very snowy in Avoriaz so conditions on the pistes are currently very good – even if you may find some icy patches in the shade, the snow softens up as the sun warms up the slopes. The slopes are a bit busier this week as holidaymakers come to celebrate the new year but there are plenty of ways to avoid the queues... just follow Giles' advice.

Happy new year!
