A brief overview
You'll be more at home in a horse and cart than a car in purpose
built Avoriaz. A compact, traffic free haven for skiers, perched high in the
mountains of the huge 'Portes Du Soleil' ski area - which spreads over eight
resorts and crosses the border into Switzerland. Being so high, Avoriaz enjoys
a good snow record, an enviable location in this extensive and well linked ski
area and fantastic board parks all within easy reach. Good for beginners,
fabulous for intermediates and families with all properties offering maximum
convenience with ski in - ski out access.
