Our ski shops in Avoriaz

Avoriaz is a ski resort located in Haute-Savoie on the Portes du Soleil ski area. Since its creation in 1962, the destination has always wanted to distinguish itself by an avant-garde architecture in harmony with nature. The chalets and residences fit perfectly into the unique and breathtaking setting of Avoriaz. Every shape, geometry and volume blends ideally with nature. The silhouette of the resort respects the mountain relief and blends into the slopes. Wooden facades, red cedar tiles, as soon as you arrive, you will be immersed in a typically Savoyard universe. 

Moreover, this ecological resort, which is entirely pedestrian and forbidden to cars, is entirely accessible on skis, so that the streets themselves have become slopes.

You will be able to move around in sleds and caterpillars in order to live a unique mountain experience. In addition, numerous wildlife protection areas have been established to preserve wolves, black grouse and other wild animals.
