Default Hotels for a weekend in Flaine

Yupp. In principle you shouldn't have too many problems getting in at
one of the above, and access to the ski areas is now really easy.


Do you really think though ? You have to be careful what you say
otherwise someone from Samoens shouts at you, but is it really any use,
the new lift ? There's still no reasonable bus service round the town so
arguably all they've achieved is moving the car park everyone drives
to. A car park cleverly positioned on the entrance to the station to
cause maximum chaos at 4pm on a weekend.

And what good does riding the new lift do you ? You just end up at the
same pair of chair lifts you did before, only now because the new lift
is quicker the queues can form much faster. Then you get of one of the
two chairs and join a queue for the next one. Very much half a job I
reckon if even that.
