P&V Crozats. Apologies for this lengthy post but hopefully it will help information-wise! We travelled from Geneva to Avoriaz on 28 December. Firstly the transfers. We looked at all options, car hire, shared transfers and taxis. The prices were broadly similar but used a comparison site (ski transfers) who were v good however you need to book quite speedily as when returned to previous quote that was no longer available. Car hire was expensive and to be honest it would have sat in the parking all week. Parking is about €100 for the week and pre booking strongly advised. When we came up the mountain in our transfer they had closed the roads as Avoriaz was full! Presume they were allowing pre booked through however. When you arrive at the various transfer points there are horses and sleighs waiting to take you. With P&V Electra the transfer was included. On your return you will need to call them when you are ready to go but ensure you have the voucher from reception. They then come and pick you up. Our transfer was waiting for us at 0515 and worked v well. It was cheaper than most at €480 and the minibus would have seated 8 but more like 6 with baggage. V friendly efficient service and I would recommend. ALPE1 transfer des Montagnes. Messaged via WhatsApp to advise where he was waiting for pick up and the transfer took 1hr45/50. We were v limited in choice due to the early pick up on return. Arrived at Electra and reception was closed (approx noon) but we were aware of this and checked in next door which is only a few metres away. Fast check in and we were handed the keys. 9th floor beautiful view. However the room smelled bad and the bin was still full. We later realised this was because the clean hadn’t been done as the men arrived to sort it out and were somewhat confused that we were there! They were v friendly and sorted the smell/cleaned etc. We decided to see if our skis were ready. Booked in advance online with Skiset situated on the ground floor. Again v efficient friendly service and we had our skis and boots by 1.30! Headed to sort out ski passes however they had sold out for the day so ended up buying online as it is cheaper and heading to the village for a drink in the sunshine. Avoriaz was super busy because the resorts below had no snow cover (first time in 45 years) so all and sundry were coming to ski there. Be aware of this and book your passes in advance if necessary! We felt v lucky to be staying in Avoriaz rather than Morzine/Les Gets/Lindarets etc. The ski in ski out works amazingly well albeit the snow cover could have been manually bolstered as the conditions were variable with some rain which wasn’t good for the snow in the village! However the Crozats is higher up. The escalators up and down are v temperamental. There wasn’t one day where they all worked so if you have any mobility issues bear that in mind. You can have the sledges taxi service. In so far as the rooms were concerned they are basic. You’re paying high
