The Apres-ski scene in Avoriaz can get pretty lively, but still manages to keep its relaxed French charm. There's a wide range of bars and night clubs and 30 restaurants are available nearby; cuisines ranging from Alpine, French, Italian, Savoyard, and American. The Place is the place to be for live music and is always full of revellers. The Tavillion and Globetrotters bars are more relaxed, and if you're after a trendy bar to hang out in try Shooters. The most popular nightclub is Le Choucas. If you'd like a special and international cuisine experience, the Hotel Les Dromonts has a great restaurant that offers upmarket evening dining. However La Table du Marché (Hôtel des Dromonts, place des Dromonts) has set high standards for its innovative gourmet cuisine thanks to the efforts of award-winning owner/chef Christophe Leroy. However if you feel like something a bit more casual, try Les Fontaines Blanches Le Crépy or La Cabane.

Off the mountain the spa and beauty centres will help you relax with high altitude face and eye care or a relaxing massage with essential oils. Get in shape at the fitness and body form centres, or try: bowling, the cinema, helicopter rides, under ice diving, paragliding, squash, Turkish baths, saunas, scenic plane flights, hang gliding, snowshoe excursions, dog sleigh rides, mountain biking on snow, night sledging, an ice skating rink, hot air balloon rides, horse sleigh rides and 25 shops.

Car-free Avoriaz can be reached from Morzine by winding road or cable car.
