Welcome to the Morzine/Avoriaz area of Les Portes du Soleil in the French Alps. We believe that this region has it all, from the high altitude, snow-sure slopes above Avoriaz, to the well protected and magical forested ski runs further down the mountain. Les Portes du Soleil is one of the largest connected ski areas in the world which includes resorts in both France and Switzerland. Renowned for having something for everyone, this region is fantastic for families, offering everything from the scenic and easy green and blue runs to the most challenging black runs and off piste terrain. 

At only 1.5hrs from Geneva airport, this is one of the most accessible ski areas in the Alps, which can also be reached in an easy 9 hour drive from Calais. Morzine and Avoriaz are very close to each other and are easily connected by ski lifts, so those staying in Morzine can easily ski in Avoriaz, and vice versa. Our meeting point hut is on the Plateau in Avoriaz (beside Folie Douce), which is not only easy for you to reach, but also has instant access to some of the best and most snow-sure slopes of the Portes du Soleil. Whether you're beginner, intermediate or advanced, we have close proximity to the ideal terrain for you, ensuring you'll get the most out of your lessons. Our Instructors can be easily reached by those staying in Avoriaz, Morzine, St Jean d'Aulps, Les gets, Châtel and the surrounding Geneva area.

The Avoriaz Alpine Ski School was one of the first British-run ski schools in the French Alps when it was established in 1992 by current director Ian Mckellar, ex World Cup Mogul skier and BASI trainer. We are a small, independent team of British & French Instructors, all holding the highest international snowsport qualifications and French recognition. We offer lessons in English or French, in skiing or snowboarding, in private or group settings to all levels and all abilities. We are passionate about snowsports and the Avoriaz Portes du Soleil area and love sharing them both with our guests.
