Avoriaz Ski Transfers

Avoriaz is one of the Alps' most distinctive resorts - and one of its most logistically interesting.

The entire village is pedestrianised, meaning no cars are permitted once you're inside the resort. This shapes your transfer experience from the moment you arrive. Rather than being dropped at your chalet door, all road transfers end at one of two main Welcome Centres: the Plateau Welcome Centre (Accueil) at the top road entrance, which serves the central and upper parts of the resort, or the Prodains Express Cable Car at the lower entrance near Morzine, which suits those staying in the lower sectors.

The most popular gateway is Geneva Airport (GVA), around 60 miles away and typically an hour and 45 minutes by road - a straightforward and well-serviced route. Chambéry Airport (CMF) sits roughly 85 miles out (about two hours), while Lyon Airport (LYS) is the furthest option at around 135 miles and closer to two hours and 45 minutes. All are manageable, and Erna Low can arrange transfers from each of them.

Once your vehicle reaches the Welcome Centre, the journey takes on a rather magical quality. The final leg to your accommodation is completed by horse-drawn sleigh or tracked snowcat (known as a chenillette) - a genuinely memorable way to arrive at your ski holiday. For transfers, you can choose between shared shuttles, which run on fixed schedules and offer excellent value, or private and group options for those who prefer a more tailored journey.
