What to do in Avoriaz in Summer

Avoriaz is located just above Morzine and is one of our favourite places to visit in summer. If you’re staying in one of our chalets of apartments, just look up and you’ll spot the uniquely designed buildings that were built to blend in with the cliff.

You can access Avoriaz by driving up or taking the Super Morzine gondola, then the zore chairlift and from there it’s just a 30 minute flat walk with beautiful views. There is also the option to drive to the bottom of the Prodains gondola and it will take you all the way up there.

There’s lots to do in Avoriaz in summer, so you’ll never be stuck for ideas. Read on to find out about some of our favourites…

Hiking In Avoriaz

Walking over to the goat village (Ardent) from Avoriaz is one of our favourite gentle and enjoyable hikes. Simply head over to the Proclou lift and follow signposts.

Visiting the Goat Village in Ardent

A trip to the little village of Lindarets is well worth it. Here you can enjoy a picnic by the river, a hike to the Brochaux waterfall and of course feeding the adorable goats. The goats roam freely on the lower part of town and you can purchase food pellets and feed them yourself.
