About Avoriaz

Avoriaz is the highest ski resort in the huge Portes du Soleil ski area.
Avoriaz is the highest resort in the Portes du Soleil - one of the world's largest linked ski areas - with over 600km of pistes connecting 12 resorts across France and Switzerland. The car-free village sits above the neighbouring town of Morzine at 1,800m with lifts reaching 2,466m, meaning snow-sure slopes from early December through to mid-April. Geneva Airport is just 1 hour 40 minutes away, making it one of the most accessible high-altitude resorts from the UK.

Avoriaz suits every type of skier and snowboarder - from first-timers on the nursery slopes to experts chasing the Hauts Forts off-piste. The resort is also one of Europe's premier freestyle destinations, with four snowparks including the Burton-designed Stash snowpark, a Lil' Stash for younger riders and a reputation cemented by hosting Freeride World Tour qualifier events. Whatever your level or goal, booking a ski or snowboard lesson in Avoriaz with one of Maison Sport's verified, multi-lingual instructors is the best way to get the most out of the mountain.

Avoriaz FAQs

Ski lessons in Avoriaz

What is the skiing like in Avoriaz for beginners?

Avoriaz is one of the best resorts in the Alps for beginner skiers. Two nursery slopes sit in the resort centre, with easy progression onto the Ecoles, Dromonts and Proclou runs - the latter featuring a fun kids' trail with small jumps. The Dromonts to Proclou is the natural first day route, gentle enough to find your feet and varied enough to keep it interesting. Low-speed zones throughout keep things safe and relaxed. Book a private beginner ski lesson or an adult group lesson in Avoriaz for expert guidance from your very first run.

What is the skiing like in Avoriaz for intermediate?

Avoriaz is an exceptional resort for intermediate skiers. The Lindarets Bowl is the highlight - wide open reds with easy access across the French-Swiss border. The consistent, open gradient of the Lindarets reds makes them the best pistes to build speed and carving confidence before the terrain steepens on the Hauts Forts runs above. For a spectacular full-day adventure, the 65km Portes du Soleil circuit takes you to Chatel, Les Crosets and back. Book a private ski lesson in Avoriaz to find the best terrain for your ability and progress faster.

What is the skiing like in Avoriaz for experts?

Avoriaz is an excellent resort for expert skiers, boasting the highest concentration of black runs in the Portes du Soleil. The Hauts Forts blacks are a hotspot for advanced skiers looking for a challenge. However, The Pas de Chavanette, a 1km un-pisted mogul run with a 331m vertical drop, known as The Swiss Wall, is the headline act. Our instructors recommend going early before the moguls get skied out. Book an expert private ski lesson or explore our dedicated off-piste ski lessons in Avoriaz if you're ready to venture beyond the piste.

When is the best time to ski in Avoriaz?

Thanks to its high-altitude slopes and consistent snowfall, you can ski confidently in Avoriaz at any point in the season. January is the sweet spot for quieter slopes and better value, while February half-term and Easter are the busiest periods. Book your ski lessons with plenty of time ahead of your trip to secure your preferred instructor, especially during peak weeks.
