Avoriaz Kayak Merkezi bilgi özeti

I am a huge fan of Avoriaz, especially with kids.

Some pluses:
- Wild architectural style that looks great in the snow, in amazing cliff setting
- Fully ski-in-ski-out
- Few lifts typically have long queues (although the Tour lift in the resort is a bottleneck and can get busy in holiday weeks)
- Fun pool with no stupid restrictions on trunks
- Horse taxis, no cars
- Good for self catering with several small supermarkets and an excellent boulangerie-patisserie
- Good value lift pass, particularly at Easter when kids are free with adults
- More snowfall than any other French resort
- Good variety of intermediate runs and lots of snow parks
- Well situated, with easy access to a LOT of terrain in adjacent resorts (Chatel, several Swiss resorts, Morzine...)
- Folie Douce for those wanting apres-ski
- Sunsets very often give you a fabulous cloud inversion
- Free and reasonably easy access to Morzine for variety of restaurants and night life, great coffee shop, and amazing skiwear charity shop
- Only 1h45 from Geneva
- snow sure at Easter.

Some minuses:
- Restaurant scene seems quite burger focused, limited night life in Avoriaz per se
- If you want a third-wave coffee or a really excellent pizza, you might need to make your way down to Morzine.
- Trip down to Morzine for the better night life involves a cable car and a free bus, and after 8pm you're in danger of missing the last bus to the last cable car
- Elevations are limited - nothing above ~2300m.

Overall, I love this place and always want to find ways to come back, even if we sometimes choose a different resort.
