Beginners
The ski school meets on the gentle plateau at the top of the village.
Beginners can quickly build up their confidence in this excellent
nursery area and should purchase their local area lift pass in resort
as this will provide them with ample gentle skiing.
Intermediates
It is hard to imagine a resort better suited to the needs of the
intermediate skier. Within the Avoriaz area itself there are more than
240km of mostly red and blue pistes and the vast Portes du Soleil
circuit offers even more extensive scope.
Advanced
The top of the Chavanette drag lift marks the beginning of one of the
world’s toughest black runs, ‘The Wall’, a heart-stopping 300m vertical
drop of waist-high moguls. The off-piste opportunities in Avoriaz are
boundless and if you are beaten by ‘The Wall’, you can regain your
pride on the World Cup downhill piste.
Snowboarding
The huge “Portes du Soleil” area has long been a favourite with
snowboarders. Avoriaz features three snowboard parks, including one for
beginners and a half-pipe. The resort also offers long wide pistes
ideal for learning on for beginners and, cruising or practising tricks.
Chairlifts predominate over drags enabling boarders of every ability
level to access the whole area easily.
Night Skiing
if you're not content with skiing all day, you can make the most of your time on the slopes and ski at night too!
