Grand Massif-Samoens

Hello all!!

Looking for some help here...Will be on the Continent 2d half of March and
am considering a few days here. Would like a quaint village, good French
food both below and on-mountain, with some fine skiing. Any personal
experiences and/or tips and advice that you can relate would be greatly
appreciated. TIA...

Err, a bit of a general question really. Yes, all the above could be
satisfied by staying in Samoens, Morrilon or les Carroz. Flaine lacks
only the 'Quaint village' requirement, but is much more convenient for
the skiing.

My best tip, especially if you're in Flaine, is to hook up with the
Ski Club rep (see sig for details) and get him/her to show you around.
That's what we're there for, after all.

I'd not describe Morillon as quaint particulary, it's OK as is Les
Carroz, not in the same league as Samoens though. Fantastic ski area
and opening very soon :-)

Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and
you have to go through all your code fixing it.

You're right. Just relative to Flaine, they are :-)

Fantastic ski area and opening very soon :-)

No plans to get there this season - must find a free weekend...
