If you are looking for a totally ski in/out experience, with short airport transfers, then you cannot go wrong with a visit to Avoriaz. Nightlife and apres is limited, as it is a very family focused resort. But there is still a great buzz and ambience with music pumping out at La Folie Douce, which is pretty central and within staggering or skiing distance to all residencies. You will not be disappointed with the ski coverage on the Portes du Soleil lift pass, that takes you into Switzerland. Snow conditions have always been perfect when I have visited. Usually big dumps before I arrive and clear blue skies for my week. I think this may be sheer luck. Eating and drinking out is what it is .. you are in France. Although this year I have booked into the Club Belambra Hotel on a fully inclusive deal. One of the very few hotels in this resort. Fingers crossed, it is worth it. No matter where you decide to go, happy and safe skiing to you all.
