The best ski apartments and hotels in Avoriaz

Advice

Avoriaz is very much an apartment-based resort and started off aiming at mid-market/budget clientele with small basic apartments.

In recent years much more luxurious apartments have been built and a few UK catered chalet operators have moved in too. Although not really thought of as a hotel-based resort, there are also some interesting hotel options. 

Hotels and apartments

Saskia Falaise

Located in a number of separate buildings near the entrance to the resort, the studio or one-bedroom Saskia Falaise apartments are basic, but have great views, balconies and are ski-in/ski-out.
