New-in-2011 5-star ski apartments in Avoriaz (just above Morzine) in the popular Portes du Soleil area of the French Alps, Pierre & Vacances Premium Residence L'Amara is a top spot for family ski holidays. Guests with under-2s get a Baby Kit on arrival, with all the essentials, while apartments sleeping up to 12 make this a great option for large family gatherings or holidays with other families.
