great off
piste, lots of varied terrain, half pipe and snow park in Flaine
and other snow parks in Grand Massif area - depending on snow
conditions. A few drag lifts on north facing slopes. |

family friendly ?

|
eating out
|
a small
resort, so choice is somewhat limited. Plenty of restaurants
doing local specialities - or try the Chalet Bissac on one of
their special nights for a great atmosphere in a typical Savoyard
setting. In the resort, Chez Pierrot is the best for pizzas,
La Perdrix Noire and Chalet Michet both get good reviews.

|
apres ski
|
limited - the underground Diamant
Noir sometimes has live music, shows football matches, and has
karaoke and theme nights. The Flying Dutchman is small, but
has a friendly and lively atmosphere.
|
|
non skiers
|
Indoor swimming pool, natural
ice skating rink, walking with snow shoes, ice driving school.
Not a great non skiers resort.
