Avoriaz Hotels

Feeling the mountain air

For many, a holiday outdoors is as much about spending quality time together as it is about activities. Many of the facilities on an Avoriaz holiday allow you to take part in sports and games that you can enjoy together, making the most of your time spent on the mountain. Whether you choose a stay in the winter or the summer there are a range of different things you can get involved in, from the laidback to the daring. You can enjoy a ride on a horse drawn sleigh along the powdery snow, or night sledging 3000 metres downhill in the starlight, the perfect way to welcome you into the festive period at the end of the year. If you’re looking for more of an adrenaline rush, then try free fall parachuting from a helicopter, an act that is guaranteed to get your heart racing as you plunge towards the snowy surface of the mountain.

If you’d prefer your Avoriaz holiday to be more about sun light hours than snow fall then the summer presents the opportunity to hike, dive in the lake, have a go at archery and tennis and even explore the area on a quad bike. One of the best views of the beautiful Portes du Soleil ski area has got to be from a hot air balloon, the perfect way to romance a partner or treat children and friends to something special.

Night lights on holiday in Avoriaz

Once the sun goes down there is still lots to do on holiday in Avoriaz. There are plenty of family friendly evening activities, such as bowling, going to the cinema, and everything from fast food to more upmarket restaurants in which to find food. For the adults, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy a lively nightlife. One of the great aspects of Avoriaz is that the village itself sees horse sledges and skiers replace the usual cars and road traffic, giving a great place for an atmospheric mixture of terraces, and a pleasant sled track home when you are finally ready to go to bed!
