Looking for a ski apartment in Avoriaz? Atlas Ski Co has hand-picked a collection of self-catered apartments in this unique car-free resort, perched at 1,800m in the heart of the Portes du Soleil. Just 15 minutes up the mountain from Morzine, Avoriaz is a true ski-in/ski-out resort where you clip into your skis at the door and head straight onto the slopes. From compact apartments for two to larger options for bigger groups, there is something to suit every party.
With no cars in the village, Avoriaz is wonderfully peaceful and ideal for families and friends who want snow-sure skiing on their doorstep. Our Avoriaz ski apartments give you the freedom of self-catering, with the restaurants, shops and lifts of the resort all within easy reach.
Self-catered freedom in the heart of the Portes du Soleil
Avoriaz ski holiday apartments give you the flexibility to ski when you like and eat when you like. Step out of your door onto the snow, then return for lunch, a hot tub-worthy rest or a glass of something warm at the end of the day. Being car-free, the resort is easy to explore on foot, and with the vast Portes du Soleil ski area on your doorstep you can be skiing into Switzerland, and Avoriaz is around 20 minutes by car from Morzine, or about four minutes by the Prodains Express cable car.
Why choose a self-catered apartment in Avoriaz
A self-catered apartment gives you your own space and your own timetable. Breakfast happens when you are ready, children eat at their usual time, and evenings are spent round your own table. For families and groups of friends it is often the most cost-effective way to stay in the resort. Avoriaz suits it well, with supermarkets, bakeries and a farm shop in the village, and you can place a food order before you travel so it is waiting when you arrive.
Every apartment page lists exactly what is included, from bed linen to ski lockers and fully equipped kitchens. You can browse all of our self-catered properties in Avoriaz, or, if you would rather have breakfast made and a spa downstairs, take a look at our Avoriaz hotels.
How Avoriaz works: car-free, ski-in/ski-out and linked to Morzine
Avoriaz sits at 1,800m in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, which covers around 600km of pistes across 12 resorts in France and Switzerland. The resort is completely car-free and every building is ski-in/ski-out, because the streets are snow-covered. Cars stay in the car parks at the resort entrance, and you move around on skis, on foot, or by snowcat and sleigh. Our Avoriaz resort guide has more on the village, the ski area and the season.
Geneva Airport is around 1 hour 45 minutes away by road, and we can arrange your airport transfers. On arrival, your luggage is taken from the reception area to your door by snowcat or sleigh, so soft bags work better than wheelie cases. Avoriaz is around 20 minutes by car from Morzine, and the Prodains Express cable car links the valley with the resort in about four minutes, which makes it easy to enjoy both. If you would like a valley base, see our Morzine ski apartments.
