Located on a fully south-facing plateau high above the Morzine valley, Avoriaz ski resort is an instant hit with all those who see it, thanks to the elegant wooden cladding on every residence and chalet.

In fact, just a couple of chairlift rides will get you to the Franco-Swiss border (so carry your passport and remember you'll be leaving the Euro-zone), seamless gateway to linked areas like Champéry, Champoussin, Morgins, Torgon and Val d'Illiez. That's in addition to the French ski resorts of Abondance, Châtel, La Chapelle d'Abondance, Les Gets, Montriond, Morzine and St Jean Aulps – most are lift-linked, and for areas where this is impractical there are free shuttle buses.
Avoriaz snowpark
“The Stash Avoriaz” is world class and the forest caters for a mixture of freeride and freestyle skiing. Situated in the middle of a large expanse of un-groomed snow it can be ideal for powder snow days. These slopes wind in and out of the trees in the Lindarets forest with wooden obstacles all around the circuit. You will have to ski or snowboard down the same slope many times to discover all the concealed modules!
The Stash park is reached via the 6 seater highspeed Prolays chairlift with an Avoriaz lift-pass.
Dedicated to children from 4 to 14 years old. The LiL’STASH Avoriaz is in the Proclou area and is made up of natural valleys, which continues into the forest.
Avoriaz has a Superpipe which is well maintained on a daily basis. Avoriaz’s halfpipe is one of the best in Europe and is hardly ever busy.
Apres ski
Along with the restaurants there are ten bars which include a pub and a piano bar; there's also a live music bar and a night club. The Place and Wild Horse Saloon are good for live music, and for nightclubbing Le Yak. La Cabane and the Globetrotters Bar are also popular.
Avoriaz village
The town is a car-free zone. Cars are left in car parks outside of the village, and transfer services stop below at Prodain. Visitors make the final ascent to Avoriaz by cable car.
Avoriaz regularly schedules a series of snowsport & music events and festivals throughout the season, including pop, rock, jazz and electro genres.
