Avoriaz

Avoriaz lies, perched above dramatic cliffs, at the heart of the Portes du Soleil, poised to explore it's 650km of piste. Just over an hour and a half from Geneva, close to the UK by car, snow-sure and ski-in/ski-out convenience, all makes Avoriaz a very popular resort with a lot of people.

It is also the self-proclaimed capital of snowboarding, and justifiably so. The resort has embraced the sport like no other since it's inception. However, Avoriaz existed well before snowboarding came about, a product, once again of the 1960's/1970's school of architecture. At least this time, they decided that all buildings would be clad in wood, which makes for some interesting viewing, and not altogether unpleasant, depending on your outlook.
