Conquering the Slopes of Avoriaz on Your Next Family Ski Holiday

Back in 2013 Avoriaz was awarded Best Family Resort by the World Snow Awards and it’s easy to see why. With no motor traffic at all through the centre of the village, great ski schools teaching from 3-years upwards and an excellent selection of pistes from nursery to black, it really has been designed with families in mind.

Set in France’s Alpine region and part of the Portes du Soliel area, this is a charming purpose-built resort whose quiet streets are only disturbed by the sound of horse-drawn sleighs and skiers returning after a day on the slopes.

Designed so that all the accommodation is either on or very close to the pistes, parents will love the ease of getting the kids out on to the slopes in the morning and the quickness of getting tired children back to your accommodation at night.

‘Hoofing It’ in Avoriaz

Built high above the mountain town of Morzine in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, Avoriaz has been hosting Alpine skiers since 1800. The resort has preserved its history and environment by keeping it fully pedestrianised – that is, no cars allowed. Though you can certainly use your car to traverse the winding hairpin bends in the road up from Morzine, you must leave your vehicle in one of the car parks near the entrance of Avoriaz. However, the lack of cars is what makes Avoriaz so charming. When you arrive and park, the resort will arrange
