Traffic free and offering excellent nursery slopes and children's facilities, Flaine is one of the most user friendly, family orientated resorts in the Alps. Skiing in FlaineGrand Massif ski area is made up from Flaine, Les Carroz, Samoens & Morillon, which provides a wealth of skiing for all abilities and ages. The nursery slopes in the centre of Flaine are excellent, served by free lifts which makes a lift pass unneecessary until you are ready to go higher up the mountain. There are also some gentle blue runs located under Tete Pelouse which offer some nice progression. Flaine is ideal for confident intermediates with a good variety of terrain available. There are lots of gentle cruising runs from the top of the mountain which you can take all the way back down into the village, or with a break for a hot chocolate at one of the restaurants at the side of the piste. Flaine has some excellent challenging terrain on offer, however when venturing off piste it is imperative to ski with a guide as the Flaine bowl is riddled with rock crevasses. There is some excellent expert terrain served by the Gers draglift, ranging from powder runs to steep moguls. Flaine suits snowboarders quite well with most of the drag lifts having been replaced by chairs. The main terrain park called the JamPark Pro is in Flaine's Aujon area and offers a quarter pipe, tables, rails & a boarder cross course. |
