 Poster: A snowHead
|
It has probably been asked on here before, but I can't find it on the search....actually I got bored after the looking through the first page. What is the deal with the passes available in Avoriaz? Is the Grand Avoriaz area pass enough for a week or is it better to go for the full Portes du Soleil for an extra 90€? A google search didn't provide much information either 
Thanks in advance
Andy

freestyleandy, Hmmm, how much skiing have you done?
If you have done very little, and are early on the curve, or are generally feeble, an Avoriaz pass might suit. ("Grand" Avoriaz? What's that then?)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would just get the whole area unless you have done less than 2 weeks skiing. My first Ti
E in skis I ventured over to Switzerland, a little to difficult but I managed it. I think it's €205 for the whole area, and it's worth it.

Forget daily upgrades just go for whole area. Go where you want when you want, change you ind and go somewhere else without having the fag of going for a pass upgrade

freestyleandy, 100% you should get the full area pass... we've been twice for 3 days at a time and still easy ventured to various areas of the domain - I'd happily go back again.... but I miss Austrian apres....

freestyleandy, Ahhh, you totally need the full pass. I must admit that the "grand" description is a new one on me...

We were there last year and although I don't remember anything called a Grand Avoriaz pass what you want is the full PdS area pass for about €205 for the week, no doubt about it. I've done 8 weeks not 8 seasons and Avoriaz wouldn't have been enough alone for me.

Definitely go for the whole area pass - there is so much to explore it is well worth it.
I imagine as well it would be quite easy to stray into an area not covered by the Avoriaz pass

FAQ
just spent most of that time in Andorra/Italy/South America and not had much experience with French resorts and their amazing array of passes! Based on your explanation, I would think the full pass is needed
