A Video Guide to the Resort of Avoriaz
For more on Avoriaz and the Portes du Soleil visit
Avoriaz is a purpose built ski resort but unlike so many of the resorts that sprang up in the 60's and 70's it isn't home to unsightly concrete monoliths but instead wooden clad apartments and chalets that sympathetically blend into the surrounding mountains.
Much of the credit for Avoriaz has been given to the 1960 Winter Olympic Gold medal winner Jean Vaurnet. Vaurnet had grown up in Morzine and after his success at the Olympics in Squaw Valley he was asked to help with the development of the ski area that surrounded his home town.
One of the first buildings in Avoriaz was the Dromonts Hotel which was built in 1966 and it's design, based on the idea that there are no right angles in nature set the template for the rest of Avoriaz. The resort grew and in 2003 it was awarded a prize by the French Minister of Culture for being one of the great heritage achievements of the 20th Century.
Today Avoriaz sits high on the cliffs above Morzine, just one and a half hours from Geneva Airport. and was voted best family resort and snowiest resort in France in 2013.
The town is completely pedestrianised and only service vehicles are allowed to drive through the resort powdered by an engine, everyone else must make their way around either on foot, ski or in a horse drawn sleighs.
All cars must be parked outside the resort and most transfers to Avoriaz stop at the foot of Le Prodains and visitors make the final ascent to the resort by cable car.
The centre of the resort is a gently sloping plateaux that is home to the excellent Village des Enfants Nursery slope. A self contained ski are built for children where kids as young as three can learn to ski in safety. This is the heart of the resort and it is surrounded by a variety of mini neigbourhoods or sectors; Amara, Falaise, Dromonts, ruches, Crozats and Festival
Avoriaz is a true ski-in-ski-out resort and most of the accommodation in Avoriaz is in apartments or apart-hotels. These apart-hotels are popular in France and are run by the big holiday companies like Pierre & Vacances and Maeva. They combine the benefits of renting a self contained apartment,complete with living area and kitchen with the facilities you would find in a hotel.
In the last few years Avoriaz has expanded with the new upmarket apartments and apart hotels being built. Now one of the best options is the L'Amara Complex. This boasts luxury apartments with relaxation and sports facilities all under one roof. The Residence Saskia Falaise is perched right on the edge of the cliffs of Avoriaz and the balconies here offer amazing sunsets.
Avoriaz has a good apres ski scene and as the town is small and pedestrianised it is easy to wander from bar to bar. Most of the bars are down at the Portes du Soleil building. Here you'll find the Globe Trotters and Shooters Bar which are particularly good at apres ski, especially when the Dutch and Swedish are in town.
There are some good bars down in the Falaise sector too like the Chapka and La Falaise.
Avoriaz doesn't have a wide range of restaurants, most of the places here are Savoy and and offer the mountain classics like tartiflette, fondue and raclette.
Through the centre of town there are slope side restaurants that have terraces on the Route de Crozats outside the Tourist Office. Here there are some great places to enjoy a lunch time salad in the sun and there are also some crepe stand if you prefer a mid-day snack without having to stop and sit down.
As you would expect most of the shops in Avoriaz cater to the ski and snowboard market and for ski rental and boot fitting there are two Intersports in the Place de Ruches and Les Fontaines Blanches where you can order your equipment online and collect it in store.
Although the shops in Avoriaz are a little limited the resort is home to an excellent aqua centre; Aquariaz. This is the water-sports centre in on the edge of the Village des Enfants in Avoriaz and it is home to river rapids, slides, climbing walls and pools. The whole complex has a tropical jungle theme and is a perfect apres ski destination for children.
Avoriaz also has it's own bowling alley and cinema as well as fitness studios and squash courts.
Unlike many of the purpose-built ski resorts that were built in the Alps in the 1960's Avoriaz is quite charming and as the years have passed it's place at the centre of the Portes du Soleil has only made it more attractive.
It's charm may have initially been engineered but over the years it has become a genuine part of life and the horse and cart taxis and Hobbit style chalets are now a day to day sight for people who live here. This combined with true ski in ski out accommodation and safe child-friendly surroundings, ease of access, and excellent skiing have made it one of the best family resorts in France.

Rooftop Skiing in France | Good Morning By Richard Permin
Check out Richard Permin's latest video: rooftop freestyle skiing in Avoriaz 1800, France.
Certain days can be really original… They depend on where you live and what you do! Richard Permin’s everyday life for instance is definitely out of the ordinary.
In Good Morning, his latest video project, Richard endlessly repeats his morning routine. Right after getting out of bed, he clicks into his skis and rides down the snow-covered rooftops of Avoriaz. Richard is throwing one backflip after another at a vertiginous height before executing insane tricks on the wooden facades and in the streets of the French ski resort.
This ambitious project was initiated three years ago, but in January 2016, Richard broke his two heels on a severe landing after jumping from one of the rooftops.
After hundreds of hours of physical therapy, he’s making a spectacular come back among the elite of freeski, to complete this unfinished chapter of his athlete life.

Avoriaz Video Guide
We spent a couple of days this winter filming this video guide to Avoriaz.
Avoriaz is one of our favourite ski resorts in France and it's probably one of the most unique. Built back in the 60s in true Avant-garde style by the Architect Gerard Bremont, its space aged design makes Avoriaz look stylish and cutting edge even 50 years after it was built.
Avoriaz is one of those resorts that is really hard to appreciate without visiting it and so we spent a few days creating a Video Guide to Avoriaz to try and capture the essence of the resort.
Off-piste snowboard - Avoriaz - France
Um dia perfeito de snowboard: Ar raroefeito, neve powder, frio, Uma linda visão dos Alpes franceses... era um chamado para colocar o snowboard nas costas, subir no cume visinho, passar por uma avalanche com pedras de gelo com mais de 4 metros de altura... e escalar, escalar, escalar... sofrer com a vertigem! mas recompensado. Uma hora e meia de decida... e no final: uma estrada. foi só esperar o ônibus e voltar para o Club Med em Avoriaz.
