Description

Allocated on arrival - 7 nights - self catering

Location: Flaine

An exceptionally friendly, informal and family-orientated resort, where our guests are made to feel genuinely welcome, Flaine also offers superb value and excellent facilities. Most of the skiing is in a wide snow bowl, but with the Grand Massif pass, it is also possible to sample the tree-lined runs leading down to the nearby satellite resorts of Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and Sixt. Flaine Forum is the traffic-free heart of the resort linked by a short free funicular (24 hours a day) to Flaine Forêt, whilst a little further from the centre is the charming Hameau de Flaine with its own ski hire shop, mini supermarket, bar and restaurant, linked to Flaine Forêt by a free bus. The nightlife is lively but limited.

Your holiday price includes: Return air travel, transfers and 7 nights accommodation on a self catering board basis.

HALF PRICE LIFT PASS OFFER: Book this very special offer and receive your Grand Massif lift pass at 50% reduction. Adults now £84, children 5-11 £70. If you require these lift passes book them in the "Optional extras" section when making your online reservation.
