About Hotel Des Dromonts
Hotel des Dromonts sits at the centre of Avoriaz, one of the French Alps' most distinctive car-free resorts, with direct ski-in/ski-out access to the Portes du Soleil — one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world. The hotel's 34 rooms and suites are styled in a classic French alpine aesthetic, each fitted with a satellite TV and en-suite bathroom. Most rooms open onto a private balcony with views across the surrounding mountains and resort. Two in-house restaurants — Les Enfants Terribles Up and Les Enfants Terribles Down — mean dining options are on-site, while the spa provides a proper wind-down after time on the slopes. A hot tub, sauna, and pool round out the wellness facilities. The hotel's central position means shops, bars, and further restaurants are within easy walking distance, and the slope-side access removes any need for transfers or shuttles. Suitable for couples, families, and small groups.

Location
Avoriaz is a purpose-built, car-free resort perched at 1,800 metres in the French Alps, forming part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area that spans the French-Swiss border. Hotel des Dromonts sits at the heart of the village, placing guests within immediate reach of the piste network via ski-in/ski-out access. The resort centre — with its shops, bars, and independent restaurants — is on the doorstep. Because Avoriaz prohibits private vehicles, the atmosphere is notably quieter than many comparable resorts, with horse-drawn sledges and snowmobiles handling transfers. The nearest major transport hub is Morzine, accessible by piste or resort transport, which connects to Geneva Airport approximately 90 minutes away.

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.
