We loved staying here, you couldn't beat the ski in/out, quality of the apartment and facilities. We used the childcare within the property which the children loved, the pool was one of the nicest we've seen and all staff very friendly and accommodating. We will be coming back!

An amazing location, perfect for ski in and out. Heated ski lockers underneath building and straight out onto slopes.
We upgraded our room for a mountain view and we're really pleased with our apartment. Fabulous views and away from any noise below. Quiet area of resort though, so didn't expect this to be much of a problem, however the views were incredible.
Accomodation was great and very clean.
Reception staff were very helpful and a nice touch being able to order croissants/ bakery bits night before.
Skied with ESF ski school who were very good.
Walk into the main town was approx 15 mins away. Cafes nearby though.
Nearby shops could deliver food to apartment if required.
Drove to resort and parking underneath the hotel made our arrival and departure very easy, trolleys available to load luggage up, to take to apartment. Lots of parking spaces. Did need snow chains to exit resort on last day.
Picked up online ordering of ski passes in hotel reception. Everything seemed to be covered to make our stay very straightforward.
Spa, though was a disappointment. Outside saunas did not work during our week and only 1 of the steam rooms.
Swimming pool was lovely though.

Overall this is a great ski in/out property in Avoriaz. We stayed over the midterm break in February, so as you can imagine we paid a premium price for our 2-bedroom lodge (suitable for 6 people and our family has 2 adults and 3 kids). Taking everything into consideration, the price they charge for the midterm break is excessive and I don't think we'd pay this again. We had read that some rooms had been refurbished, however ours had not with big stains on the carpets. The kitchen is tiny and can only fit one person at a time. If you're using the pullout sofa, then space is extremely tight in the living area and kitchen. We had to keep moving things around to be able to use the space for both sleeping and eating. The upstairs bedrooms were also very tight. The doors to all the bedrooms/bathrooms should nearly all have been designed to slide across as the doors are always in the way when trying to move around, which got annoying. I did ask reception about the kitchen in the 2-bedroom lodge as the photos online show a much larger kitchen, however she said the photos online are examples only. We felt this was misleading as for a property this large it would not be hard to add correct photos to their website for each lodge type.

This is only minor, but we highly suggest this property provides shampoo rather than a tiny little soap bar which is a "shampoo/soap" bar which doesn't work. And instead of providing one little box of washing up liquid, a shampoo/soap bar and one bin bag, you should consider leaving a weeks supply. When you're paying thousands per week, surely a weeks supply of bin bags, shampoo, loo roll etc should be included!

The free spa area has a swimming pool, saunas, hammam, showers and lockers. There is also a section of the spa that you have to book and pay for a 2hr window which gives you access to a more private spa area which includes an outdoor hot tub, hammam, sauna, interactive rain shower, lounge area, lockers etc. This area is more for adults.

This property is huge with several different buildings and all interconnected underground, so you don't have to walk outside to go from your lodge to the spa for instance if your lodge is not in the main building.

In the reception area there is a pool table, kids club, bar. Right outside is a SkiSet shop for ski rentals. We arrived on a Sunday, so there were hardly any skis left, so I would suggest pre booking your skis for a Sunday arrival.

The ski lockers are located on the lower level and the heaters inside the lockers always worked and our boots were nice and dry each morning, which was a huge relief as it snowed every day the entire week we were there! Just outside the property is the ski run called Proclou. This splits into a green and blue run and therefore you can choose your route which takes you down to the Proclou chairlift. This chairlift brings you up to one of the main areas where you can access the snow park, Lindarets area, some ski school areas, etc. If you don't get on the Proclou slope, then you can walk uphill approx 7min within the same Amara area and you can ski down to the Plateau chairlift or go to other blue slopes such as Crot.

Avoriaz is pedestrianised, so our transfer dropped us to the Welcome Centre, which is located right beside this property. We walked no more than 4min with our bags. We noticed other families had big green sleds pulling their luggage (so clearly available for families to use), however we were able to carry our bags.

Avoriaz has a ton of great restaurants and a few grocery stores. Also many ski hire shops and ski gear shops. The village is stunning and we found it very easily walkable with our kids (ages 10 to 14). If you need a taxi you can call for a horse and sleigh to collect you. There is also a designated sledding area in the village, mini ice rink, water park, bowling alley and cinema. We however did not use these as we were skiing each day.

The staff at this property were all lovely and very accommodating. We will definitely return to Avoriaz.
