Avoriaz, the highest resort in the Franco-Swiss region of Portes du Soleil that offers no less than the largest connected ski area in the world, as well as jaw dropping landscapes, plenty of off piste activities and a broad selection of excellent restaurants, pubs and spas.

Avoriaz is how you imagine a picture postcard ski resort should be: boasting striking backdrops, surrounded by slopes, fully pedestrianised and completely snow-covered. This means you can ski in and out of your apartment through the traffic-free streets to catch any of the multiple nearby lifts, take a horse and sleigh to a nearby restaurant or walk among the picturesque lines of Christmas trees and fairy lights. The off-piste choice is outstanding too, ranging from a heated indoor water park, spas and a squash court to cinemas, ice skating, bowling and an endless selection of lively pubs and tasty restaurants.
