Pierre & Vacances’ Residence Électra is well positioned in the Alpine resort of Avoriaz in the Portes du Soleil. Perfect for families, couples and groups of friends, this affordable but upscale residence with timber facades is ideally located at the foot of the slopes.
Here, guests can settle into their cosy and brightly coloured apartment while having the opportunity to admire the snow-covered landscape from their balcony. Designed with comfort in mind and complete with stylish modern decoration and fixtures throughout, the property’s open plan living space allows holidaymakers to relax and unwind after a day on the pistes.
Avoriaz is at the heart of the Franco-Swiss Portes du Soleil ski area, a fantastic winter playground with more than 600 km of skiing under one lift pass.
The delightful purpose-built ski resort has been a favourite with skiers for half a century, with its four terrain parks, excellent powder and wide range of pistes.
Built on a sunny shelf high above the neighbouring village of Morzine, Avoriaz has an altitude of 1,800 m, meaning great snow fall and plenty of sunshine.
The town centre is completely pedestrianised and boasts an impressive array of boutique shops and superb restaurants, with horse drawn carriages, snowcats and skis as the only means of transportation. Suitable for skiers of all abilities, the resort’s beginner area is extensive and includes slopes in the village itself as well as lots of easy green pistes.
A seven-night self-catered stay at Residence Électra, in an apartment that sleeps up to five, arriving 11 January 2020, is priced from £931 per apartment / £186 pp (was £1,164 per apartment, saving 20%). Flights and transport extra.
