Adaptive and Assisted skiing in Avoriaz is part of what makes a winter holiday here so exciting! Located on a plateau at more than 1800m above sea level, Avoriaz is a fully-pedestrianised ski-in/ski-out resort. With no cars, the snowy roads are reserved for skiers, horse-drawn carriages, children on toboggans, and pedestrians, which creates a rather special atmosphere. Daring and timeless, Avoriaz’s unusual architecture blends into the natural surroundings, and the red cedar façades are classed among the greatest works of the 20th century For those with no or little mobility, although there will always be snow up in the resort, with Wheelblades on the wheelchair or push chair then a little easier to explore.
For those who are paraplegic or with no mobility and wanting to ski all day this really is a fabulous place to be! For anyone else then it also offers lots to do and for non-skiers it is a perfect ski resort to relax and unwind.
During the summer there are also many activities on offer.
If you, a friend or family member have any of the following then Avoriaz might work brilliantly for your ski or summer holiday. This is by no means an exhaustive list (it would be impossible to include every condition) but many have similar or common factors. As often someone may have a condition that we have not yet come across please do ask us if you are interested in the resort and we can try to help.
We do advise that if you have any health issues that might be affected by extreme temperatures; altitude or have had surgery or an on-going physical / neurological condition that might be or could be affected by being moved at speed, over rough or uneven terrain or being on or in a ski lift please do contact us for more advice before going ahead and booking your holiday. Another resort might work better for you.

Mountain based activities, whether sporting or non-sporting, summer or winter, are empowering elements to life but please note that many may not be suitable for your condition or specific need. Activity providers, guides and instructors will often go out of their way to accommodate the needs of everyone but please understand if they are unable to do so for you. Always worth making further enquiries either via the organization responsible, the tourist office or Ski 2 Freedom.

Mountains 4 All would like to make it clear that we regard everyone as an individual and that no two people will have the same needs and requirements. Therefore please note that what you see on this page regarding assisted or adaptive skiing and accommodation, may not be suitable for you, or someone you know. However, if you think this destination would be a good ski resort for you, then please contact us to discuss your personal requirements and we will endeavour to see if the resort will meet these.
We hope that you have found the information on this page helpful and a chance to make a decision on where to go for your winter holiday. However, we know that often much more discussion is required and therefore we invite you to contact us as we hold extensive information on all our ski resorts – please contact us.
Our information has and is obtained by means of extensive personal research at a cost, often to the Foundation, we only give this out to those that request it and is not for general public use. For our beneficiaries this information is free but for a company or organisation we make a nominal charge via donation.
Mountains 4 All provides specific information on the activities for skiers with a disability, additional need or life-challenging illness, etc. plus useful extras such as wheelchair accessible places to stay; so we are not going to also reproduce amazing information and advice on ski resorts which has been collected by ski journalists, skiers and ski companies which are dedicated to this service - what we can do is to link you to these sites which may well give you some extra background information on a specific ski resort and help you make up your mind as to where you might go!
