Avoriaz, France
The Resort
Moving on from Alpe d’Huez, Snowboxx’s new home for 2016 was Avoriaz, the highest ski village in the Portes du Soleil ski area. The extensive range of ski in – ski out accommodations, vast ski area and excellent bars and après venues make Avoriaz an outstanding home to one of Europe’s most exciting snow festivals.
The Portes du Soleil ski area stretches over 15 resorts and 2 countries and boasts 650km of ski runs. Due to its high altitude village and ski slopes, Avoriaz is known as one of the most snow-sure ski resorts in France making it a fantastic ski destination throughout the whole season.
