FLAINE - Skiing
Much of Flaine’s skiing is set in the vast snowy bowl in which the resort lies. It is a great resort for beginners with some lovely nursery terrain. The nature of the resort’s lay makes it a good place for families too. There is an extensive lift system that along with the pistes is well laid out and makes for little queuing except on the busiest of days. The bowl offers plenty of scope for intermediates, with some entertaining blue and red trails leading back to the village. The Grand Massif domain extends way beyond the bowl and the area lift ticket also covers Morillon and Samoens, both of which have some excellent terrain. The Blue Cascade run is a great trial for testing those skiing legs, as it winds down into the valley for 14km. Advanced skiers will find some interesting skiing on piste, but the resort is also a great place to make your first turns off-piste – why not take out a guide and discover some untracked powder?
