Off the slopes
Flaine is a purpose built ski resort, so it is possible to ski to and from much of the accommodation. Food is good, with lunch options including several mountain restaurants in the bowl, and a further eight or nine places to eat in town. Après-ski often starts at the Totem bar at the foot of the slopes - the terrace is great for catching the last of the day's rays - before moving onto the White Grouse pub and Le Cîmes.
WE LIKE
- Big, varied area, with plenty of terrain to suit everyone
- Reliable snow in the main bowl throughout the season
- Excellent facilities for children and families
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Lots of slow old chair-lifts
- Austere modern buildings with little or no traditional feel
- Nightlife not a highlight - ut this is known for being a family resort!
