About Chalet Ossetra
Chalet Ossetra sits directly on the piste in Avoriaz, offering ski-in/ski-out access to the Portes du Soleil — one of the largest interconnected ski areas in Europe, spanning 650 kilometres of runs across France and Switzerland. The chalet accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it a practical choice for a small group or family who want slope access without compromise. Inside, an open fireplace anchors the living space, providing a natural focal point for evenings after time on the mountain. A balcony extends the living area outward, with the slopes immediately beyond. The ski room with boot warmers means wet kit stays out of the living space, and equipment is ready to go each morning without the usual faff. A public lift adjacent to the property connects directly to the upper resort and the Aquariaz water park, adding a useful off-slope option for families. With piste-side restaurants, bars, and the ski school meeting point all within easy reach, the chalet's position removes most of the logistical friction from a ski holiday.
The Layout
The chalet is set over one floor within the Amarante building. It features an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with three en-suite bedrooms.

Location
Chalet Ossetra occupies a prime piste-side position in Avoriaz, a car-free resort at 1,800 metres in the French Alps. The Prodains cable car — the main link from the valley — is a short ski from the front door, and chairlifts are accessible in multiple directions. The ski school meeting point, piste-side restaurants, and après-ski bars are all within walking or skiing distance, which matters at the end of a long day. A public lift directly beside the chalet connects to the upper resort level, where the Aquariaz indoor water park offers a genuine alternative when conditions or energy levels call for it. Avoriaz itself is the gateway to the Portes du Soleil, giving guests access to resorts including Morzine, Les Gets, and Champéry without needing to return to base.

Perched dramatically on a cliff at 1,800 meters, Avoriaz is a fully pedestrianized resort renowned for its unique, wood-clad architecture that seamlessly blends into the rocky alpine surroundings. Built in the 1960s, it offers an unparalleled ski-in/ski-out experience where snow-covered streets are navigated by horse-drawn sleighs and skiers alike. As the central hub of the massive Portes du Soleil ski area, Avoriaz provides direct access to 600km of interconnected pistes spanning France and Switzerland. The local terrain is an absolute haven for freestylers and intermediates, boasting world-class snowparks like the ecological Burton Stash, as well as high-altitude north-facing slopes that guarantee excellent snow conditions throughout the season. Beyond the slopes, the resort maintains a lively yet highly family-friendly atmosphere. Features like the Aquariaz tropical indoor water park, a fantastic children's village, and a vibrant après-ski scene ensure that Avoriaz appeals to dedicated winter sports enthusiasts and families looking for a magical mountain holiday.
Avoriaz offers extensive intermediate cruising, some of Europe's best snowparks, and easy access to both France and Switzerland. Its local slopes hold cold, chalky snow well into spring, while thrill-seekers can easily challenge the infamous Swiss Wall just over the border.
One of the largest linked ski areas in the world, encompassing 12 resorts across France and Switzerland with 600km of pistes.
