Avoscoot Snowmobiling
Snowmobiling can be a fun, fast, snowy activity. Starting from Avoriaz resort, outings start from 17.30 to midnight, giving you free range of the snow and the Alps.
Directions
From Avoriaz, go to the Falaise sector and walk between the Malinka and Saskia buildings, following signs for Proclou, then by the golf course, continuing uphill to the Col de la Joux Verte.
At the Joux Verte pass, park near the restaurant and cross the road and walk along the footpath that leaves from the bank at the roadside and head towards the Cretes de Super-Morzine ridge. The footpath follows this ridge for about 30 minutes amid an abundance of alpine flowers.
At Quart des Puers (alt.1756m), turn right onto the footpath that goes downhill towards the viewpoint (20 minutes). Keep alert because this place is home to Chamois deer and black grouse. There is a sharp drop down to Montriond 600m below, hold on to children's hands.
From the viewpoint, retrace your steps uphill and turn right at the first path signposted Col de la Croix des Combes that passes through this pretty flower-filled coomb. On arriving at the Croix des Combes pass (with its large cross), walk back towards Super-Morzine around the wide hairpin bends that lead to the Zore chairlift and the Cretes de Zore restaurant.
From the restaurant, continue along the footpath until the Quart des Puers, before going back to the Joux Verte pass via the lower footpath, a parallel variation to the one above it.
