 Poster: A snowHead
|
Good morning all,
I am after some insider info on the new Intrawest Montsoleil apartments in Flaine.
I know the GM well and have booked these for March, i know they are creating a new green piste and lift behind the accommodation for SISO my question is about access on foot.
I have driven past the site last year but you dont get a feel for distance in the car, so my question is how easy is it to access on foot, how long to walk? I am thinking as Flaine is car free getting bits of shopping might be a pain and also the evening beer or two.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated as my better half is nagging me thinking she will be stuck in with our three year old.

ianbradders, There is a free bus service linking Flaine Foret (bars, supermarket etc) with the Intrawest building, and it also goes beyond up to the Hameau for a change of scene, this also has a bar and small shop.
Not actually that far to walk from the Ascenceur in Foret up to Intrawest, probably 10-15 minutes ish?

ianbradders, It's about a 10 minute walk to Flaine Foret, 15 minutes to the bottom of the Grands Vans chair. It's all on road (going out the front of the development) so should be clear of snow most of the time. I have been told by Intrawest (I own an apartment in the block) that there will be a delivery service available from the local patisserie and possibly by Sherpa (the local 'supermarket'), but my guess is that there will be a delivery charge involved. It's downhill on the way there so if you stop off after the lifts have closed it's uphill to get back with skis and boots. However, it's not very steep.
norris, Is the bus service going to run into the evening? And when does it start running in the morning?

Chris Mason, thanks, looking on the new piste map compared to last year i guess the new lift is gerats and there are 2 blue pistes, aigue marine and opale and a green malachite.
Is this the case? How do those blues look? from my recollection of that side of the valley it is a steep side. Im considering if my six year old will manage it.
