As Avoriaz is a car free resort you will need to take a snow taxi from the arrival station to the apartment. You will be dropped off at the bottom of Residence Antares/Aster and you will take the lift up one floor to the reception The keys will be held at reception.

This reception is open until 10pm on changeover days - let us know if you are arriving late and we will make alternative arrangements. The apartment will be available by 5pm at the latest but in practice it is usually available shortly after lunchtime. If you arrive after 10 a.m. and the apartment is not available then you can ask for the ski locker keys if you want to store your luggage.

You will need to have vacated the apartment and ski locker by 10 a.m. on your last day. If you want to store luggage on the last day the reception has very limited storage space and if this is not available then there is a bagagerie. This at the Information Office at the arrival station where the snow taxi drops you.

The phone number for reception is +33 4 50 74 74 28 and the out of hours emergency number is +33 4 50 74 58 58

We have arranged a 40% discount at Mir Famose which is just opposite the lift down to the resort centre. You can see their range of equipment on the Ski Set website

You may be able to get an equivalent discount on line but if not just let me know what you need together with height / weight / shoe size and I will reserve with the owner of the shop and you pay in the resort.

We recommend the Avoriaz Alpine Ski School - small class sizes and instruction in native or fluent English - mention skiavoriaz.co.uk and receive a 5% discount on lessons.

The Avoriaz Alpine Ski School offer limited availability for children's lessons so you may want to consider the Village des enfants instead.

Our top tip on ski lift passes is to book them on line. Visit the skipass website and order the hands free internet reloadable cards – they cost 3 euros each. You should buy the passes at least 2 weeks before you leave. You can then pay for your lift pass on line just before you leave and you can go straight to the lifts – no queuing for passes in resort.

NB. Avoriaz operate a little advertised promotion of 10% off the full portes du soleil ski passes. All you need to do is book on line before the 5th December.

You can get the Avoriaz brochure sent to you for free on the Avoriaz website

We provide more information in our guest book in the apartment. You can view this information on line here
