Visitor Reviews of Flaine

Just got back from a weeks skiing in Flaine. Having been there I'm more than a little annoyed when I see quotes saying it's the ugliest resort in the Alps. Obviously some people have never been to Val Claret (Tignes), Val Thorens or Les Arcs 2000.
This is a family resort. The local tour office put on a "feature" every evening from 5-7pm in Flaine Forum and this usually involves free Vin Chaud or free hot chocolate (with a drop of Chartreuse for adults).
There's a decent indoor swimming pool and a bowling alley within the resort. There's enough eateries to keep you going for over a week. Check out the Perdix Noire. It's easily the best restaurant I've seen in the Alps - excellent.
Skiing wise, there's not much to challenge somebody who wants to race down blacks all day long but given it is a family resort and there seemed to be an enormous amount of children learning to ski so it's great to know that that kind of idiots who skis irresponsibly won't be attracted to the resort.
The area is linked to Les Carroz, Morillon and Samoens and I was really surprised at just how good the pistes were in these resorts and that they were easily accessible.
Nightlife is on the quiet side, but again, this resort is not pitched at the heavy apres-ski brigade. However, this did not stop us being woken up at 3am by some blind drunk louts shouting whilst walking down the road. Bet you can't guess the nationality? That's right - Brits abroad.
The only let down was the 14km run (Cascase), right from the highest point in the resort down into Sixt, was closed all week due to lack of snow at the bottom.
All in all, it's a good resort and I would advise anyone with a family looking for somewhere suitable to take youngsters and feel safe (in the fact that they will kept amused off the piste and safe on it).
If you want heavy apres-ski and are a bit of a liability on the piste then go somewhere else ... Please.
