Avoriaz Village

With its wood clad buildings and mimetic architecture blending with the surrounding rocky cliffs Avoriaz has a unique atmosphere which is exploited by the annual SciFi and fantasy film festival. Also unique is the ability to get around much of the village through a network of tunnels and lifts to avoid the elements. Once outdoors there are a few streets but the layout is quite simple. Bars, restaurants and shops look out onto the thoroughfares with the majority in the main square. Almost all of Avoriaz’s accommodation is conveniently located by the side of a piste.
