The high altitude and north facing slopes have proven to be a great combination for an impressive snow record over the years. The resort is at the centre of the massive Portes du Soleil ski area, boasting a combined total of over 650kms of pisted runs stretching across both France and Switzerland.

The resort itself is a purpose-built traffic free haven, with many properties boasting skiing to and from the doorstep. The centre of the village offers lots of activities for those on a family ski holiday in Avoriaz, and the local transport is by horse drawn sledge.

The Portes du Soleil ski area is truly vast with over 212 lifts, and over 60 mountain restaurants to choose from. The area connects the ski resorts of Abondance, Avoriaz, Chatel, Morzine, Les Gets, Champery and Torgan.
