Ski holidays Avoriaz - Winter fun in perfect harmony!

Avoriaz

The small resort of Avoriaz is located at an altitude of 1,800 m and is on the French side of Les Portes du Soleil's ski region. The completely traffic-free settlement was built on a former alpine pasture in 1960; here cars are replaced by horse-drawn carriages. The architecture, as well as the resort's modern design, fit perfectly into the surrounding area and also create a very cosy atmosphere. Its elevated location lends to a climatic advantage, mainly that there is plenty of snow and sun. A big plus is that the pistes are easy and quick to reach, as you can access the ski area from almost every apartment straight away - after a short descent through the heart of the village. From the modern valley station you can reach the wide pistes, which promise enjoyable descents and ultimate fun.

Also , the water park "AQUARIAZ", which is one of the biggest and highest in the world was opened in 2012. It offers areas for all age groups, e.g. jacuzzi, a half-pipe slide , a climbing wall over the water and much more! The park does not only amaze you by its unique plant world and mountain scenery, but also through its sustainability. In addition, Aquariaz has a comprehensive evening and night-time programme, so that alongside families, young skiers get their money’s worth in various pubs, bars or discos.

Portes du Soleil

The Portes du Soleil region is located on the French-Swiss border, south of Lake Geneva. On a clear day, you can see the nearby Mont Blanc (4,806 m), Lake Geneva and the neighbouring Dents du Midi mountain range. This extremely diverse winter sports region in the midst of rugged mountain ranges comprises 12 ski resorts, eight of which are located in the French Haute-Savoie and four in the Swiss Valais. From quiet family resorts to lively party zones, there is something for every holidaymaker here. The first-class ski area – one of the most extensive in the world with 580 kilometres of pistes – is an absolute must for every winter sports enthusiast. The higher altitudes are very snow-sure, while the lower ones are supplemented with snow cannons.
