On the slopes

Winter holidays in the Flaine ski resort offer something for everyone. Beginners will enjoy some lovely nursery terrain in the vast snowy bowl in which the resort lies, while intermediates will find a host of long cruising runs, many leading back to the resort. Advanced skiers find this is a great place to go off-piste - somethgin the Grands Massif is great for - a local guide will show you the best spots.

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, only 90 minutes frrom Geneva airport
  • Reliable snow in the main bowl throughout the season, best snow record in the world for a non glacial resort
  • Excellent facilities for children and families, car free centre and good choice of ski schools

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Lots of slow old chair-lifts
  • Austere modern buildings with little or no traditional feel
  • Nightlife not a highlight - but this is known for being a family resort!
