Season dates in Avoriaz

When can you ski in Avoriaz?
Weather/snow conditions permitting, you can usually ski in Avoriaz from December-April using the lift system. Naturally, the season can be extended, typically with weekend openings in November or by ski-touring/hiking yourself up!

Season start and end dates may vary slightly as they are dependent on snow conditions, and some parts of the Portes du Soleil may open early, at weekends only, if the snow cover is good enough. Also, there may be a reduced ski area in operation if snow cover is insufficient or due to early/late season ramp up/down.

It's worth remembering that strong winds, dangerous snow conditions and other adverse weather can affect when the lifts run. If you're in resort, make sure you check our live lift status page for up-to-date information on lift closures.

When are the lifts open in Avoriaz?
During the summer months the lift system is more restricted than in winter, but still offers fantastic mountain access to hikers, bikers and selfie-takers!

Every summer, the Portes du Soleil lifts open from late June until the early September, while the individual resorts of Avoriaz, Les Gets and Morzine have their own lift opening dates

Please note: all lift dates and times are subject to change due to adverse weather and events. You can keep an eye on the live lift status and visit our maps page to find your way around.
