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.
