We stayed in Flaine as a family of four. 2 adults 2 children aged 10 and 13. Plenty of variety of slopes ski school ok, lots of mountain cafes. Good public swimming pool and outside ice rink. Not massive amount of restaurants but enough lots of local cuisine. We went at Easter half term so fairly busy but snow and overall reasonable price especially lift passes. Would recommend for families

Flaine is a fantastic ski destination for families, especially those with young or beginner skiers. The ski area is well laid out, with wide, cruisy runs that are perfect for building confidence. There's a great mix of terrain, so everyone from first-timers to more experienced skiers can enjoy themselves without feeling out of their depth. One of the standout features is the quality of the ski schoolsboth group and private lessons are very well organised, and the instructors are patient, professional, and great with kids. It's a great place to learn or brush up on skills in a supportive and scenic environment. If you're heading to Flaine for the après, though, you might be a little underwhelmed. It's a quieter resort in the evenings, with a more relaxed and family-friendly vibe rather than lively bars and parties. Perfect if you're after peaceful nights, but not ideal if you're chasing a big après-ski scene. All in all, Flaine is a solid choice for a family ski holiday with great training facilities and reliable snowjust dont expect the nightlife to be the main attraction.

Snow no longer reaches all the way down to the lower resorts, so not all Grand Massif runs are available, eg. cant always ski back to Les Carroz, Cascades run closed. Good wide pistes for cruising fast. Most dont become mogul fields in the afternoons. Easy to navigate lifts. Not best resort for complete beginners as some connecting Blues can be a challenge. On-mountain lunch stops less varied and less high quality than Italy & Austria, but still expensive.

FLAINE IS SUCH A GREAT FAMILY RESORT AND EVERYTHING IS SO ACCESIBLE. THERE IS ENOUGH SKIING FOR A WEEK AND WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPE OF RUNS TO KEEP THE WHOLE FAMILY HAPPY .. FROM LITTLE ONES TO THE MORE ADVANCED. THERE ARE LOTS OF LOVELY OFF PISTE RUNS AS WELL. HOWEVER MAKE SURE YOU GO WITH A GUIDE AS THERE ARE ROCKS AND BIG HOLES DOTTED AROUND THE PLACE. MY WILD SKIING DAYS ARE OVER, SO PLENTY OF GOOD SKING FOR ME.

I was there in January 2025, its as good as I remember it, this is my second time. There is plenty of scope especially if you get the Grand Masif ski pass and not just Flaine. Brilliant for all levels of skiier. Its a more family based resort however still a few good spots for a few drinks. Overall I highly recommend to anyone.

Great short break, 3 really good days of riding with a good area to dodge the busy slopes near town and nice tree runs. Apres not really happening but good selection of restaurants and friendly staff. Great place for families or a short break focused on riding.

Incredibly well maintained throughout the entire season to maximise the use of the resort. So many great restaurant options both in the main town and dotted around the slopes. The local pool is a blessing after a long day on the board and the bars are welcoming and cosy. I've been lucky to visit alot in my youth and have recently been back the last couple of years and it still holds up great. Highly recommend.

A full weekly programme of activities for kids, both ski and non-ski related, especially during school holidays. Swimming pool is useful on bad weather days. Queues for the two funiculars (which are free) between the two main levels of resort centre can get long at peak times at the end of the day. Varied restaurant options, a couple of lively venues for apres and two mini supermarkets.

Really great for family and beginners. Worth a visit with little ones. Enough to keep experienced skiers/snowboarders happy if you get the valley ski pass.
