Samoens is a pretty village with a fast gondola up to Samoens 1600 and access to the Grand Massif ski area and the Flaine bowl. Nice restaurants in the village, but you have to book / get there early if you want a table in Feb half term week!
Apres Ski: 4/5

This is a low resort that links into the Grand Massif. Local runs reminds me of Coucheval 1300 North Facing through the trees. The North facing Gers bowl over in Flaine is like the back runs off Le Fornet in Val D'Isere LOTS of bad weather skiig possibilities in the trees, piste and off piste Generally not crowded except in French Holidays. The town is very French in atmosphere and entertainment; which are excellent for children. Night life can be subdued
