Pierre & Vacances Résidence Electra

We stayed here on our way from Milan to Paris for a night. We only wished we had a week at this resort. We had no idea. It is a bit more out of the way than we thought. It said 30 miles but that is about an hour drive through the French winding alps. But that is also the joy of it. It was an amazing Resort area and we spent the next morning hiking around and wandering through the little village activities and shops. The room was a bit small but very efficient and actually had more sleeping area with two bedrooms and pull out couches than we had seen on our travels. We showed up late like 11 pm but they have 24-hour checkin. Just be sure you know where you are going. Hotels.com directions did not quite get us there and we had to drive another 5 km up the mountain. You have to park and then walk your luggage or take a taxi for 7 euro to your apartment. But that is because it is a pedestrian only resort. When we woke up we were amazed and stunned by the beauty and the range of activities available at the resort. We all want to return during ski season definitely. But for the price we paid, this was an absolute steal and provided excellent memories for our family.

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.
