Overview
Description
Chalet Poudreuse sits on the plateau in the centre of Avoriaz. At a dizzying altitude of 1850 metres, and right next to the piste, lifts, ski schools, mountain restaurants and village centre, independent chalets in this spot are rarer than January marmottes. Ski-in ski-out locations don’t get better than this anywhere in the world; we have to transfer you and your bags across the pistes by snowcat!
Reborn from the site of an old 16th century barn, the new Chalet Poudreuse has a fabulous vaulted living area with flat screen and fireplace, balcony with spectacular mountain and piste side views and ubiquitous sauna. At this altitude and location the bedrooms are undeniably compact, but well equipped nonetheless; with plenty of storage, wall mounted flat screen TVs and smart contemporary bathrooms. We have long wanted to bring the exceptional service offered to this idyllic and unique skiing paradise. Two staff live in the chalet for your comfort and convenience.
When your instructor can knock on the door without removing his skis and you can stroll across the empty piste for a beer as the sun goes down at the end of the day, you will appreciate why we are so excited about this incredible asset. A completely unique ski holiday experience.
Chalet Poudreuse will be furnished and photographed in November 2013. Photographs shown on this page are from other chalets within our portfolio and intended as a guide to reflect the style and décor of the completed property.
Location
Situated at the top of resort just by the TK Dromonts lift and a short glide away from the 'Plateau' nursery slopes. After a hard day on the slopes the chalet is just staggering distance from the Yeti Bar and a short walk in to town for those wanting to venture a little further afield.

About Avoriaz 1800
Avoriaz sits right in the centre of the vast 650km Portes du Soleil ski area, making it an outstanding base for exploring one of Europe’s biggest cross-border ski regions. Intermediates are especially well catered for, with an extensive network of high-altitude blue and red runs, all easily accessed ski-in ski-out from your accommodation. Confident skiers can venture further afield into Switzerland, while beginners can learn close to the resort in the dedicated nursery area before progressing onto gentle linked slopes down towards Morzine.
The resort itself is completely car-free and designed for skis and sledges rather than traffic, creating a unique, snow-filled atmosphere where you can literally ski through the streets. Its distinctive architecture, with tall wooden-clad buildings and slanted roofs, is designed to blend into the surrounding mountain landscape. Avoriaz is also known for its large number of self-catering apartments, making it particularly popular with families and groups looking for flexibility and convenience.
Away from skiing, Avoriaz offers some of the best off-slope activities in the French Alps. The Aquariaz water park brings a tropical twist to the mountains with lush vegetation, waterfalls and slides, while snowshoeing excursions offer a quieter way to explore the winter landscape. Many guided walks even finish with dinner in a traditional mountain hut, adding a memorable end to a day in the snow.
