About Avoriaz

The brainchild of Gérard Brémond, Avoriaz was founded in 1967, originally as a ‘St. Tropez de Neige’ for the era’s jet-set crowd. Designed by bright young architects and inspired by Le Corbusier, the resort town was initially all high-rise buildings and acute angles. Now less exclusive, this alpine resort town retains its sense of trendy style, with design-led hotels and chalets: some of the best places to stay in Avoriaz feel distinctly futuristic.

Part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, famed for its 700 kilometres of pistes across both France and Switzerland, Avoriaz is also appealingly close to popular Morzine. Families will appreciate the range and proximity of the ski slopes, as well as the expert-led ski schools for little ones — or grown-ups — who are still finding their feet. Summer visitors can hike, play a round at the picturesque Golf Club Avoriaz, or zip along high-speed mountain bike trails. A frequent host for part of the Tour de France, the resort has become a top downhill mountain biking destination in recent years.

Throw in a smart après-ski scene, and this really is a brilliant spot for design-minded outdoorsy travellers. Book a room at one of the best places to stay in Avoriaz, and see it all for yourself!
