About L’Amara Apartments

The L'Amara Apartments are all about effortless Alpine living. These luxury ski-in / ski-out apartments sit in Avoriaz's lovely Amara area, forming their own little village of five interconnecting buildings – so everything feels close, cosy and convenient.

Inside, it's a stylish mix of natural stonework and warm wood: expect traditional Alpine design with a modern twist. Many of the apartments have vista-filled valley views, framed by mountains and forest edges. The apartments are spacious, bright and just the thing for flopping down and unwinding after a day on the slopes.

When the skis come off, the apres options don't disappoint. Sink into the sofas at the on-site bar and lounge, or head to the wellness centre to really switch off. There are two hammams, a sauna and swimming pool complete with swan-neck jets (bliss). Fancy an extra treat? The Deep Nature Spa® has an outdoor hot tub with mountain views.

Located next to the entrance to the resort, in the Amara district of Avoriaz, the residences benefit from having ski-in / ski-out access. You can easily access the Portes du Soleil Ski Area with its over 600k of slopes. That makes it great for all abilities - from complete beginners to advanced experts. Skiers and snowboarders will love the vast amount of slopes easily connected by lifts. 

As the resort is pedestrianised, you can walk down to the resort centre – just a short stroll from the residences. Here you'll find a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, so if you're staying on a self catering basis, you're sorted.
