Going in February Avoriaz
Experience
The energy of the winter holidays
in Avoriaz
During the February holidays, Avoriaz comes alive with the spirit of winter. The snow-covered streets bustle with life, families come together on the slopes, and days are filled with skiing, snowboarding, activities and shared moments. This is when the resort reveals its full energy, with a friendly, festive atmosphere that delights children and adults alike.
At an altitude of 1,800 metres, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Avoriaz offers a vast playground for making the most of the mountains. From children’s first runs to full days of skiing with friends, everyone can find their own enjoyment in a ski area suited to all levels. And once the skis come off, a wide range of activities and entertainment keeps the fun going.
What also makes the February holidays in Avoriaz so enjoyable is how easy everything feels. With no cars and no daily journeys to reach the slopes, the resort is fully pedestrian and all accommodation is ski-in ski-out. That freedom lets you make the most of your holiday and spend more time on what really matters: being together.
Share the joy of skiing
The February holidays are the perfect opportunity to make the most of the Avoriaz and Portes du Soleil ski area. With nearly 600 kilometres of slopes spread across 12 French and Swiss resorts, the possibilities are endless. From beginner areas to more technical runs, everyone can progress at their own pace and find routes to suit their mood.
For families, this is often the time for those first big adventures on skis. Younger children discover the joys of skiing with the ski schools, while more experienced skiers head off to explore the different sectors of the ski area. Everyone then comes together for a few runs, lunch up in the mountains or simply to enjoy the snowy scenery together.
Snowboarders and freestyle enthusiasts are well catered for too. Avoriaz’s snowparks and playful terrain offer plenty of ways to mix things up, discover new sensations and share sessions with friends or family.
A pedestrian resort designed for holidays
In Avoriaz, your holiday takes on a special feel as soon as you settle in. Fully pedestrian, the resort leaves cars behind to make room for snow-covered streets, skiers, pedestrians, sledges and horse-drawn sleighs. All accommodation is ski-in ski-out: in the morning, simply put on your skis outside your residence to head straight to the slopes and start your day.
That same ease extends throughout the resort. Avoriaz was designed so that all the essentials are less than a ten-minute walk away. Shops, restaurants, ski schools, activities and the bakery are always close by. There is no need to get back in the car or plan daily journeys: everyone can organise their day around their own wishes and pace. It is a freedom that makes family holidays especially enjoyable.
And when you fancy a break from skiing, there is plenty to choose from. Step into the tropical world of Aquariaz, head to the cinema, enjoy a game of bowling, try sledging, ice skating or climbing, or simply make the most of the resort’s restaurants and entertainment. There is always something to do after a day on the slopes or on a day off from skiing.
All of this contributes to Avoriaz’s unique atmosphere. Fully snow-covered streets, no cars, everything close by and the feeling of spending a few days in a true snow village. A setting that is both convenient and magical, capturing the imagination of children and adults alike.
A resort alive with the holiday spirit
During the February holidays, Avoriaz feels especially lively. The streets, terraces and different neighbourhoods come alive throughout the day, creating that distinctive winter holiday atmosphere.
The holiday entertainment programme complements days on the slopes and offers even more opportunities to get together. Shows, festive gatherings and activities keep the fun going and let you make the most of the resort’s atmosphere.
Late afternoons have a special charm too. After a few hours on the slopes, everyone gathers on a terrace for an afternoon treat, a hot chocolate or a drink with friends. Restaurants and après-ski venues then take over, with a friendly atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the evening at their own pace.
