Welcome to Morzine - Avoriaz
Avoriaz is one of the most distinctive Alpine ski resorts you will probably ever visit, thanks to its futuristic design and dramatic clifftop location overlooking the neighboring resort of Morzine. Avoriaz is situated in the center of the Portes du Soleil, one of the world's largest interlinked ski areas.
THE AREA
Avoriaz is a purpose-built ski resort but, unlike so many of the resorts that sprang up in the 60s and 70s, it isn't home to unsightly concrete monoliths. The resort is made up of wooden-clad apartments and chalets that sympathetically blend into the surrounding mountains. The town is complete, everyone makes their way around either on foot, ski or on horse-drawn sleighs. Avoriaz caters especially well for families thanks to a range of specially designed children's ski areas and a rather fabulous indoor waterpark.
RESTAURANTS
Avoriaz is a fairly typical small ski resort in that the restaurants are mostly Savoyard in style, offering mountain Alpine classics such as tartiflette, fondue, and raclette, as well as plenty of contemporary options.
There's a wide range of restaurants in Avoriaz to suit all tastes and budgets.
t lunchtimes, most restaurants will offer a well-priced 'Plat du Jour' (dish of the day), normally consisting of locally-sourced meat, potatoes, and a salad or seasonal vegetables - exactly what you need after a hard morning on the slopes.
