A brief overview
Situated in the centre of a massive bowl, the pistes and lifts
radiate out from the resort of Flaine like a giant snowy octopus. Literally a
resort in the thick of things, designed with convenience for all in mind. Free
lifts access nearby nursery slopes, a gondola speeds directly across a rock
face to the highest peak and an extensive bus system picks up the stragglers
from nearby villages who missed the last lift home. This is a great resort for
beginners, intermediates and especially families.
