Description

Location

The chalet offers ski in/out possibilities and is just a short 2-minute walk to the nearest apres-ski bars, including the Folie Douce. The traffic-free resort centre with shops, restaurants, cafes and the exhilarating Aquariaz water park is just a few minutes away from the chalet.

From the transfer drop off station, the chalet is then accessed on foot over the snow, please wear appropriate footwear. It is a short 200m walk across relatively flat snow from the vehicle drop off point. Your luggage will be delivered to the chalet for you.

Alternatively, when arriving during the day, if available, you can take a horse drawn sleigh to the chalet at a small charge paid to the driver (this can’t be pre-booked).

Chalet Layout

The rooms are decorated with traditional wooden style furnishings to create a classic chalet feel. The open-plan living/dining area and kitchen means there is room for socialising on your chalet holiday and gives a warm and cosy ambience.

About Avoriaz 1800

Part of the vast Portes du Soleil domain, Avoriaz is arguably one of the most enjoyable resorts in the region. Sitting at 1800m it can guarantee good snow, unlike most of the other resorts. It claims to be a boarding Mecca, as the first European resort to embrace the sport. There is a specialist park, a half-pipe, a slalom course and extensive off-piste. Additionally, there is a giant "ecological park" (loads of natural modules set off-piste between the trees)called the Stash.

This also attracts better skiers, as do some great black pistes. The most notable of these is 'The Wall', which plunges you down into Switzerland and should only be tried by those with plenty of tough miles under their belts. But don't despair beginners and intermediates - there are countless motorway pistes across the whole network to get you sorted and smiling.

As a purpose-built resort, Avoriaz was one of the first to work out a largely sensible layout. There are no cars, making for a calm, safe atmosphere. Lifts are very close to the accommodation, which varies greatly depending on the age of the building. Horse-drawn sleighs are popular and very romantic in an evening after dinner. Because of its attractions, Avoriaz often gets crowded and can be expensive. There are about 25 restaurants (some good, but pricey) and reasonable nightlife. The ski school is excellent. Children are well catered for, including a very good kids' village and Geneva is only two hours away.

Overall, Avoriaz is blessed with a number of qualities to establish its excellent reputation in the region. It's good for its snow, its challenging skiing and the fact that you can always ski to your door.
