Find Avoriaz holiday rentals
Avoriaz spreads out on a high mountain plateau above the legendary ski town of Morzine. It's now linked to the vast Portes du Soleil area, which clocks up nearly 400 miles of interlinked runs between the massifs of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva, to the north. All of the usual ski rental shops, outdoorsy outfitters, apres-ski bars and French cafes pepper the centre, offering services and fuel to mountain adventurers with their eyes on the snow-covered peaks. Come summer, when gorgeous walking trails and the adrenaline-pumping MTB tracks open in the surrounding Alps, Avoriaz holiday lettings remain popular with hikers and mountain bikers.
Things to do
The main attractions to enjoy near Avoriaz holiday cottages
The main draw of this high-perched mountain resort sits right on the doorstep of ski-in, ski-out Avoriaz holiday rentals. Lifts carry riders deep into the recesses of the Portes du Soleil area, where speedy black runs and easy-going blues all await, with panoramas over the Swiss Alps. When the snows melt, other travellers come to hit a round of 18 on the pretty Golf d'Avoriaz course. Meanwhile, families enjoy the steamy tropical water pools of the Aquariaz aqua park all year round – it's got slides, a lazy river and bubbling hot tubs. Day trips to the rolling vineyards and spa towns along the banks of Lake Geneva are also in the offing.

Avoriaz was purpose-built in the 1960s as a base for adventurers heading to the extremes of the French Alps. Skiing is the number 1 thing on the menu. Lifts spirit skiers away to the tips of peaks, like Les Hauts Forts and Fornet, opening up access to a plethora of challenging black runs, and wiggling reds and freeride zones, that occasionally drop down into Switzerland. The local ski area around Avoriaz is just a taster of what's on offer, though. It's possible to buy passes that cover the whole region of the Portes du Soleil, which means having nearly 400 miles of runs to pick from. Come summer, when the snows melt, the Alps sprout colourful meadows and host hikers on their panoramic paths and daring via ferrata.

How to get around
Finding your way around Avoriaz
Arriving in Avoriaz means navigating narrow roads with hairpin bends that squiggle up the steep-sided valleys of the Haute-Savoie Alps. It's not easy driving, especially in winter. That's why many skiers prefer to catch 1 of the regular coach transfers from Geneva Airport straight to the resort. If you do decide to rent a car, then it's worth considering whether you need to add in chains and winter tyres. During the winter season, dedicated ski buses run all the time from Morzine and Montriond, further up the valley. They are typically free for anyone holding a pass for the Portes du Soleil area.
