Sleighs

and snow vehicles

Avoriaz is a pedestrian, vehicle-free resort where everyone gets around on skis, on sledges, on foot, or even by sleigh or snow vehicle.

20 sleigh drivers and their 100 horses provide a daytime taxi service that is backed up on arrival days with snow vehicles which also operate a night taxi service. The sleigh drivers each own their sleigh and change the working horses every 2 hours, as the animals’ wellbeing is their priority. The horse breeds used are chosen for their robustness and keen working spirit.

The Avoriaz 1800 intra-resort transport service does not take advance bookings. Simply reserve your ride once you’re outside and ready to leave.

If you need transport, this single number is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day:
+33(0) 4 50 74 01 55

Sleighs

The horse-drawn sleighs of Avoriaz 1800 operate like taxis. Just dial the one-and-only number for Avoriaz 1800 transport as soon as you’re outside and ready for pick-up.

The sleighs carry up to 4 passengers maximum, or 3 people with luggage. The fare depends on the journey taken, and an extra cost of €4 will be charged for luggage.

*Information Notice: We inform our visitors that the horse-drawn sleigh service in the resort will end on 7 April 2026. As part of a complete renovation project of the stables, they will be demolished starting 13 April 2026. The coachmen will therefore have to vacate the premises before this date, which results in the early end of their activity.
To ensure continuity of transport within the resort, the resort snowcat transport service will remain in operation until the end of the season and will replace the sleigh service.
