2018: What a fabulous year. Tons of snow lasting the whole season and the vast majority of pistes open until the end of April. Many new lifts replacing the old ones. A new, long ski run at Colouvrier with a new fast chair to the top of Le Saix. A very diverse ski area with plenty of links into Flaine, Morillon and Les Carroz. The brilliantly long piste from the top of Flaine through to Sixt with a bus trip back to Samoens is always a challenge, even for accomplished skiers. Very few queues, even in the peak of the season and brilliant views of the local mountains.
