Aquariaz
An indoor aquatic paradise with heated pools and fun for all the family
Aquariaz is an aquatic paradise set in the heart of Avoriaz offering a huge water park made up of a gentle flowing indoor river, a slidewinder (an aquatic halfpipe), a toddlers paddling pool and water playhouse, a large pool with natural climbing walls.
Directions
The footpath sets off from the plateau in Avoriaz with quite a steep climb (70m vertical climb) up onto the Avoriaz ridge.
This itinerary then continues downhill, with wooden signposts for Cascade des Brochaux. You'll reach this waterfall in about an hour. After stopping at the waterfall, catch the Mossettes chairlift.
At the top of the chairlift (2,277m) you'll be in Switzerland (yellow footpath signs). Walk down towards the Lac Vert (1,972m) and the refuge (40 minutes). You might bump into the local shepherd with his flock of sheep. From the lake, walk up to the Col des Chesery (1,992m), which marks the French-Swiss border.
From the pass follow signs to the Col de Rochasson (watch out for the mountain bikers).
At the 1,805m altitude marker, fork left towards Lecherette and Lindarets. The footpath crosses a small stream then continues in wide loops down to Lecherette (40 minutes). Return to Avoriaz by the Lindarets Express chairlift.
If coming by car from Morzine or Montriond, start the circuit by leaving your car at Lecherette. From here follow signs for Brochaux and catch the Mossettes chairlift.
