The Skiers' Guide to Flaine

Good resort pretty much guaranteed decent snow, plenty of areas, easy lifts to other resorts for endless runs, definitely worth a visit, and not to far from the airports

Very busy and chopped up runs during school holidays, when it’s term time and there is snow on the ground the pistes are lovely with some off piste sections and “free ride zones” available

Went at the end of the season but still lots of snow and we’ll maintained runs. The runs were great for all levels and some great views from the top of Mont Blanc

Visited Flaine for the first weekend of the season, had a great time. The whole of the Massif wasn't operating but there was still plenty to do and quiet slopes and short lift queues could still be found. Would definitely consider visiting again.

Just back from a family trip, we stayed at Helios apartments as we love ski in ski out. Lovely spacious rooms, 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Fantastic spa and pool facilities. A convenient Spa shop and nice small restaurant onsite. Free shuttles into the town. A quiet resort with amazing snow, we will return!

Wide ski runs which helps alot. Able to do Blues from the top of the mountains. Well kept slopes. Can get busy at times with experienced skiers whizzing past so need to be careful. Some nice greens to get you back into the swing of it.

Flaine is good for intermediate skiers, quite steep & icy at top but long runs so need to be fit to keep going. Family resort, quiet, not much apres/night life

Great place to begin skiing in your 60s. Fantastic instructors, good class sizes, great choice of slopes, stunning landscape, up on the tops quickly, friendly atmosphere, no long queues for ski lifts…

Flaine: Good all round resort, with enough snow there is lots of easy access off piste. Runs are ok, well kept, quite a lot linked by long flats, not an ideal resort for boarders.

Thoroughly enjoyed Flaine lovely skiing. Resort well equiped clean. Great access to the slopes. Also visited Morillon less snow this tume but pretty resort.

Nice family friendly resort with a wide selection of accommodation. Ski bus runs regularly up until approx 18:00 daily. A couple of different ski school options for both children and adults. This is 3rd trip out now and worth it.

Great resort with lots of nice runs. Well sign posted and easy to navigate. No major queues after the initial gondola. Great links to travel to other resorts.

Excellent family resort
Easy access to slopes
Variety of runs to use as grow in confidence over a weeks holiday.
Plenty to of slopes to give older teens freedom to head off on their own.
Easy to follow maps
Enough bars and food places easy to walk to in the evening, with a central location.

Its a nice small resort with good long runs and quiet queues. Chairlifts and gondolas both provide a quick and easy way to the top of the mountain and there are several long reds and blues down. Unfortunately all the blacks were closed and the reds weren’t too challenging.

Skiing would be amazing but unfortunately Mother Nature has not been kind, therefore making all open runs overly busy and challenging, the resort itself is very quiet and a great family place, although coming off the slope could do with a bit more so you can have a bit more with the kids, the architecture is not your traditional ski resort it is very much a personal taste, certainly not for everyone and definitely not as picturesque as most but if family oriented and with good conditions very good all round

Some fantastic skiing off the top of the Grands Platières with absolutely awesome views of Mont Blanc. Wide easy reds, perfect for carving, through stunning scenery and a couple of challenging gulley blacks for advanced skiers.
Mostly excellent lift capacity, however with some 10 to 20 minute queues in busy (ie
Christmas) weeks.
Family friendly resort with mostly ski in/out accommodation. Not the prettiest resort, as most hotels purpose built, concrete, however good links to the beautiful villages of Samoëns and Morillon with much more varied, lower altitude skiing.
A great resort for intermediates and advanced skiers, with a few greens and Nursery slopes for beginners. Food/eating out options mainly limited to three or four restaurants, or withing hotels, but good selection of on-slope eating places and bars. Apres-ski limited, but one or two bars to cater for the more lively customers. The vibe is more chilled and family focused with brasserie and bistro. Overall, a great resort for high altitude (1600 to 2500m) skiing with a great variety of slopes and options to ski down to surrounding villages. Don't expect beautiful buildings/Chalets, but do expect stunning mountain views!

Flaine is a family friendly/couple friendly resort for exciting days and quieter/relaxing nights. We visited in December and the snow was kept well despite not having any fresh snowfall for 2 weeks prior to our arrival.
The blue pistes are generally at the higher end of the skill scale compared to other blue pistes in Austria resorts where we usually go.
The lifts are great and there is plenty of choice of runs. You can ski the Flaine area easily within 3 days with a good experience level.
Slopes were super busy in the early afternoon which caused heavy degradation of the piste (moguls). Overall very happy with the resort for a short ski break away.

Flaine was a great family friendly resort. Enjoyed the ski in ski out hotel as well as the food options in town.

Great family resort, lovely runs and definitely something for everyone.
Night life isn’t lively but value for money for family skiing with access to some great slopes is top notch

Family friendly, easy to get to. Nice runs. Not a huge amount of apres, more chilled bar vibes as quite family heavy
