Flaine
Whilst
it could never claim to be a pretty resort, purpose-built Flaine, set in a sunny
bowl below Mont Blanc, has an excellent snow record, doorstep skiing genuinely
suitable for all levels, is an easy drive from the Channel ports and only 45 miles
from Geneva. It has superb nursery slopes with 4 free lifts and very good children's
facilities. Of enormous attraction to intermediates are the links to the 3 traditional
resorts of Samoens, Morillon and Les Carroz. Unusually for such a large linked
circuit, there are plenty of steep runs and mogul fields, as well as exceptional
off-piste opportunities (guide essential).
With
one of the best funparks in the Alps and a designated kid's half-pipe, Flaine
is popular, too, with freestylers. Choose from simple, budget accommodation to
independent, Scandinavian style chalets. The Grand Massif pass covers Flaine,
Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoens and Sixt, all linked to Flaine by pistes or lifts.
