Where is the Swiss Wall on the Avoriaz piste map?
The Swiss Wall, also called Chavanette, starts on the French-Swiss border at the top of the Chavanette sector, which you reach from Avoriaz. It drops down the Swiss side towards Les Crosets, so you need a Portes du Soleil pass to ski it.
It is one of the toughest runs in the world, with a slope of 37° and moguls at the top that often reach around 2 metres, because it is too steep to groom. If you just want the view and the photo, you can take the Chavanette chairlift back down.
