Avoriaz / Ski area
For the dedicated skier, not only does Avoriaz offer some of the best skiing in the area but it’s the prime jumping off point to explore the Portes du Soleil . The area can be divided into three sectors: Les Hauts Forts, principally reds and blacks and the highest skiing in the area, Chavannette, the sunniest and generally most popular sector and the Lindarets valley which separates Avoriaz from Chatel.Avoiding the queues
The one drawback is that it can become congested during busy periods, although the station has invested heavily in high capacity, high speed lifts at the bottlenecks to reduce this. And there are so many lifts that it’s generally possible to avoid the worst crowds by taking alternative routes: use the Cubore chair and the drag lift on the other side to access Switzerland, use the chairs rather than the cable car to ascend from Prodains, and the Brochaux chair rather than the main Lindarets lift back from the valley.
