re: Flaine - Anyone been?
french place with the best snow record-fact year on year.closest resort to Geneva airport30 min.good skiing and links(Grand Massive) abit ugly buildings but recently canadian company started to renovate(cosmeticaly) them so it should be good.a-ah and direct views of Mont Blancre: Flaine - Anyone been?
worked there for 2 seasons, great resort ski to the door, if not much snow there are lots of rocks also dont go off piste without a guide it is really dangerous, lots of deep holes that get covered in snow, skiing is brilliant, nightlife ok if a little limited but skiing and convenience of resort makes up for it, great also if you have kids any other questions ask awayre: Flaine - Anyone been?
Great stuff - nick, we're gonna probably stay in a chalet in Flaine Heuire (or something like that) which is 1km away fromt he main resort.> Is it within walking distance or are transport links half decent?
> Any tips for staying i a chalet. We're both slightly apprehensive about getting lumped with "chalet mates" that arnt of a similar mind set.
