Ski touring and off-piste skiing in Avoriaz
Set at a high-altitude of 1,800 metres, Avoriaz offers an exceptional setting for ski touring, off-piste skiing, and backcountry skiing throughout the winter.
Whether you are travelling solo, with friends, or as a family, this ski area and the wider Portes du Soleil provide a true freeride playground with access to unmarked areas, technical descents, and pristine powder skiing.
Explore legendary spots such as Fornet, La Combette, and the Vallée de la Manche, or venture into tree runs and remote bowls to truly explore untouched areas.
Guided tours and private instruction for every experience level
With the esf Avoriaz, you can book private instruction or join group guided tours to master your freeride techniques while discovering the very best of the freeride terrain.
Our expert mountain guides provide mountain safety training, covering avalanche awareness, safe travel in avalanche hazard zones, and the proper use of safety equipment such as transceivers, shovels, and probes.
Whether you want to focus on improving your skiing technique, try ski mountaineering, or gain confidence on lift-accessed terrain, our ski lessons are tailored to your goals and experience level.
From powder days to technical descents
Your time in the high mountains will combine skill development with pure alpine adventure. Take on snowcross zones, challenge yourself on steep couloirs, or enjoy smooth powder skiing in quiet valleys.
You can also enhance your adventure with activities such as Nordic skiing, freestyle workshops, and even heliskiing for those looking to push the boundaries of exploration.
Our instructors will help you read piste maps, analyse snow conditions, and make the most of Avoriaz’s unique terrain — from the Vallée Blanche to hidden gems across the Portes du Soleil.
