Pierre & Vacances Résidence Electra

First time in Avoriaz, a family of 5 (kids aged 4 ,7 and 11). We stayed for 7 nights and had very good overall experience. The hotel provides transportation from covered parking on the day of check in and check out, need talk to coordinating person in parking when arrive to receive a voucher. Ski out is possible from hotel with small kids, ski in - only for more experienced skiers, need to use blue run. Laundry service is available, costs 9 euro (washing machine+tumble dry).

Apartment a bit smaller than the pictures would suggest but far better than older p & v properties. Comfortable and cosy probably the best descriptions for the property. Good quality bread available at reception for the morning and so to the door great.

The directions to the hotel were not provided which meant that it took us two hours in a snow storm to find it, when I reality it should only have taken 20 mins. Once we arrived at the hotel we were then provided with a map of how to get to and from. This information would have been handy to have before arriving, due to the fact that there are short cuts on escalators and lifts that you can get, which are not provided on a road map. The reception is often closed so impossible to check in or place you luggage in a luggage room etc but thankfully the hotel next door is a sister hotel and they were extremely helpful. There were only two of us in this room which was perfect but it said online that this room was able to sleep 4 people which wouldn't have been possible. Great access to the slopes. Gorgeous scenery and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again now I know where it is and to go to the hote next door to check in.
