Going in March and April Avril
The best
for last
in Avoriaz
March and April mark the arrival of a particularly enjoyable time to experience the mountains in Avoriaz. At an altitude of 1,800 metres, snow remains plentiful across the ski area, while the days grow longer and the sun shines more generously. Conditions change, the snow gradually softens throughout the day and skiing takes on a whole new feel. It is a time to keep enjoying skiing and snowboarding to the full, with the added warmth of spring.
The pace of your holiday changes too. You make the most of the slopes in the morning, explore the different sectors of the ski area, then take a little more time to stop for lunch or settle onto a sunny terrace. With generally fewer visitors, there is more space on the slopes and greater freedom to enjoy the ski area at your own pace.
As the season progresses, Avoriaz also reveals a more festive, relaxed atmosphere. Après-ski stretches on in the sunshine, concerts and events bring the final weeks of winter to life, and end-of-season offers make a mountain stay especially appealing. Skiing, sunshine, terraces and good times to share: in Avoriaz, we save the best for last.
Guaranteed snow
Skiing in Avoriaz in March and April means making the most of one of the resort’s greatest assets: its altitude. Set at 1,800 metres, with much of its ski area above this altitude, Avoriaz enjoys favourable snow conditions that help extend the ski season into spring. The slopes continue to be groomed and maintained so skiers and snowboarders can make the most of the final weeks on the snow.
In spring, the snow changes throughout the day. Often firmer in the morning, it gradually softens in the sunshine and milder temperatures. The early hours are ideal for getting plenty of runs in, before enjoying softer snow and that distinctive spring skiing feel.
For freestyle enthusiasts, the season is far from over. All of Avoriaz’s snowparks remain open and maintained to the same high standards, ensuring quality features and lines right through to the end of winter. Whether you ski or snowboard, prefer slopes or snowparks, the ski area still offers plenty of ways to enjoy the snow.
The sunshine also makes this time of year so enjoyable. The days grow longer, temperatures become milder and terrace breaks become an increasingly important part of the day. Make the most of the skiing in the morning, treat yourself to lunch with mountain views and perhaps linger a little longer than planned. Another way to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, combining sport, sunshine and relaxation.
P.S. No more turning into a yeti under countless layers of clothing: the end of the season lets you hit the slopes in your best style!
A festive and relaxed end to the season
From mid-March onwards, the pace in Avoriaz gradually changes. The days grow longer, terraces become popular meeting spots and après-ski stretches on in the sunshine. After a few hours on the slopes, friends come together for a drink in a more relaxed atmosphere.
The end of the season is also especially festive. Concerts, ski and snowboard events, competitions, freestyle and entertainment bring the final weeks of winter to life, with Avoriaz’s ski and snowboard culture extending from the slopes into the resort.
March and April also tend to be quieter. There is more space on the slopes, greater freedom and time to savour each day, with skiing, sunshine, terrace breaks and shared moments.
