Resort Transport

During the day, 20 coachmen and their 100 horses provide a taxi service, while tracked transport vehicles reinforce this service on arrival days and take over at nightfall. Each coachman owns their own carriage and rotates their horses every two hours, always placing animal welfare first. The horse breeds are carefully selected for their strength and willingness to work.

The internal transport service in Avoriaz 1800 does not require reservations. Simply request your transport once you are ready and outside.

Pedestrian resort

Since its creation, Avoriaz 1800 has been designed as a car-free resort, with a unique concept of a 100% pedestrian village. In winter, people move around on skis through snowy streets where skiers, pedestrians and horse-drawn sleighs share a magical setting. In summer, cars are left behind in favour of walking, cycling or riding a scooter, in a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. Everything is within easy reach, surrounded by unspoiled nature. In Avoriaz, freedom and simplicity truly come to life.
