About this property

Ski Apartment With Spectacular Mountain View (Flaine Foret) @flaine1969

Most suitable for up to 4 adults, or a family. This comfortable apartment is nestled at the heart of a large snowy bowl, Flaine. The view from the apartment is amazing and there is a small south facing balcony from which to enjoy it.

Conveniently located (on the same level as the building entrance) in Flaine Foret, it is walking distance from fantastic nursery slopes, which link into Flaine and the wider Grand Massif. Next door is a small shopping area (including a pub, small supermarket, bakery, pizzeria, and snowsport rental) and lift to Flaine Forum.

The apartment has a separate bedroom with a modern day bed which pulls out to make a comfortable double bed. There are also underbed drawers and a double wardrobe. Between the bedroom and the living area there are bunk beds in a wide hallway/alcove with underbed drawers. The studio style living space has a small but well equipped kitchen area (includes dishwasher), extendable dining table and chairs, a spacious sofa, and TV (with satellite). The bathroom has a bath and sink (with built in cupboard) and there is a separate WC. There is also a small ski locker by the entrance to the building.

Wifi, linen (excluding towels) and cleaning (at the end of your stay) are included in the price.

Flaine is situated between Geneva and Chamonix Mont-Blanc, and has excellent transport links with Geneva and Lyon Airports. Alternatively, Flaine is a days drive or train ride from the UK.

Lovely cosy Apartment with a great view

Small but cosy apartment within easy reach of the slopes and local amenities. I stayed on my own but it'd be perfect for families too and has everything you need for a ski holiday at a more than reasonable price. Heather (the host) responds very quickly to messages and was very helpful. Highly recommended.

Great location and value

Small but well laid out apartment in Flaine Forêt. Great location next door to the local facilities which includes a small Spar supermarket and a nice bakery. There is also an escalator down to the main Flaine resort in the same building. Apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed for basic self catering and a nice selection of games, tv etc as well as storage for skis. The host Heather was incredibly helpful and easy to deal with. Note linen and towels have to be arranged separately which was straightforward - common with many French properties. Extremely good value for a location next to the best ski slopes.

Cosy with a lovely view

We found this apartment has everything you need for a comfortable ski holiday. The view from the balcony is beautiful - tree lined mountain sides and slopes. The shops and ski hire were very close. Walking to the slopes is a bit further but easily doable - we chose to walk over the ski bus. Heather, the apartment owner, is very happy to help and quick to respond if you need any advice. We had a great stay here and are looking at booking this apartment again!

Super apartment and ideal location

We enjoyed our stay at Siruis very much. We are a family of 6 adults and the apartment was fine for us. The sliding door across lounge makes 3 separate areas for sleeping. Back bedroom bed is a good size with large bed. Apartment is very handy to the slopes and close to Spar, bars and ski-hire. We walked to the slopes but the frequent navette stops outside if wished. After skiing get off navette at first stop in carpark and walk down path to avoid doing full circuit of resort. Key pick up and return was easy and we parked in car park above the apartment. We drove and stored our clothes in plastic underbed boxes under the bunk and above large wardrobe. Lots of hooks in hall for hanging ski kit. Very hot water. Lovely view. Hope to stay again.

Quiet apartment in a fantastic location

We had a wonderful stay here last week. Family of 3. Plenty of room for us - bigger than many ski apartments we have stayed in. And the balcony is great. The apartments are quiet, ski lockers are great and it's in a brilliant location for ESF Flaine Foret ski school - less than 10 minutes walk from door to meeting point. Bakery next door for breakfast too! Key pick-up was easy enough, and we were grateful to be able to leave our bags at the property services for free on Saturday so we could keep skiiing after check out. One thing to be aware of is that the hot water in the flat is HOT - obviously a good thing but something to be aware of when turning on the tap. We recommend Flaine and we'd definitely stay in this apartment again. Thank you!

Nice apartment, with a great view in a great location

We (2 adults and an 8 year old) stayed here for 5 nights and it was exactly what we needed. The apartment had everything we needed, and the wifi was very good. Size wise it was great for us but I think anymore than 4 and it would start to feel cramped. I think its fair to say the apartment is starting to look a bit tired but that didn't impact our stay. The view is great, especially when its snowing :-) Location is perfect. 2 mins to spar, bakery, take away pizza, bar and ski hire shop (SPORT2000 - great kit at very reasonable price and let us leave our bags there on the last day) and 5 min walk to the lifts.

Would recommend

We would certainly use this flat. We had a great week (2 adults, 2 children) and the flat has everything you could possibly need. Having the ski locker and the free ski bus every 15 mins made access to the slopes easy. At the end of the day, get off the bus at the first stop just after the car parking and walk down the short path - this will save you sitting on the bus for the whole circuit. We hired skis from Sport 2000 Foret which is very close. Spar shop and bakery close by too. Collecting keys from the laundry was no problem and we hired towels from the same place. For transfers from Geneva, we used Go Massif. Would certainly recommend them too.

Great flat very well located in Flaine Foret

The flat is small but well organised and equipped. Ideally located near the bakery and the supermarket of Flaine Foret, near the lift to go to Flaine Forum and nearly in front of the bus stop taking you to the beginning of the slopes.

An absolutely delightful spot.

A beautiful mountain retreat . The house is right at the bottom of the slopes and had everything we needed from a tin opener to piping hot water. A perfect place to completely relax. The view from the balcony is breath taking.

Cosy, comfortable apartment - very close to all amenities

We had a great week staying in this cosy apartment. It is very handy for ski hire shops, bakers, supermarkets and most importantly for us, the slopes. We had everything we needed and it was a lovely 'home' to come back to after a day in the snow. Useful having a ski locker too. Would love to return next season.

Cosy ski apartment close to slopes

Just got back from a week skiing in Flaine, and Heather's apartment was great! Clean, reasonable size (there were 2 of us but could fit a family of 4 comfortably) and close to the slopes. Also very close to the local bakery which is handy for getting bread and croissants in the morning. There is a basic but nice kitchenette, a comfortable living space with TV and wifi, a locker for skis etc. and a good size balcony with a nice view. Picking up and dropping off the keys was easy enough so no complaints all round.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
We have been coming to Flaine for 40 years and adore it. We have found the snow to be as reliable as anywhere in the alps. We currently visit as a family and find it to be convenient and child friendly.

If you have any questions about the apartment or wider resort please feel free to contact me, and I will do my very best to help.

Happy holidays,

Heather @flaine1969

Why they chose this property

Flaine is the best European location we know for exceptional snow conditions all season. We bought this apartment from family friends in order that I could share the kind of holidays I had had growing up with my own family. We haven't been disappointed, with the resort only improving over the years, we have visited more and more each year as our family has grown. Hoping you enjoy staying here as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The view from the south facing balcony is outstanding. There are no stairs to navigate as the entrance is on the same floor as the apartment. The building is conveniently located in Flaine Foret, close to shops and restaurants, and walking distance from the slopes at this level of the resort. Here you will find super runs for children and beginners, on slope ski lockers, ski lesson meeting points and the Grande Van ski lift, linking the resort of Flaine with the wider ski area.
