About Chalet Sakami
Chalet Sakami puts six guests within 50 metres of the Avoriaz pistes, with true ski-in/ski-out access from one of the French Alps' most extensive lift-linked networks, the Portes du Soleil. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom chalet is compact enough to feel private, with a layout designed around the rhythm of a ski day. A dedicated ski room with boot warmers handles wet kit efficiently, while the first-floor terrace hot tub — set against a backdrop of pine trees — offers a practical reason to stop moving after a long run. Inside, a log fireplace anchors the living area and provides a natural gathering point for the group. Balconies extend the usable space when the weather allows. The central position in Avoriaz means the village's bars, restaurants, ice rink, bowling alley, and cinema are all within a 15-minute walk, making the chalet a workable base for non-skiers as well. For a group of six seeking direct piste access without the scale or overhead of a larger property, Sakami is a well-considered option.

Location
Positioned just above the centre of Avoriaz, Chalet Sakami sits roughly 50 metres from the nearest piste entry point — close enough that skis go on outside rather than on a shuttle. The return journey involves a short walk up stairs or via a lift to the residence entrance, typically one to two minutes. Avoriaz itself is a car-free resort, which keeps the village centre quiet and walkable. Restaurants, bars, and a supermarket are within a few minutes on foot, while the ice rink, bowling alley, and cinema extend the options for rest days or evenings. As a gateway into the Portes du Soleil circuit — 650 kilometres of marked runs across twelve resorts in France and Switzerland — the location gives guests immediate access to one of Europe's largest ski areas without the need for connecting lifts from the village.

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.
