Grand Massif

Our season lift pass for Portes du Soleil also includes discovery vouchers, which gives us a day's free lift pass at a number of resorts in the region.  Today we took the opportunity to explore the Grand Massif ski area, starting in Morrilon, and ending up in Flaine.  Morrilon is only about 40 minutes drive from Morzine, so very easy to get to for a day trip.
The snow in the Flaine bowl was still in good condition and we enjoyed cruising on their flattering runs down to the resort centre. Flaine itself is not a particularly attractive place, and I am not sure that I would want to stay there for a week's holiday, let alone a whole season, but it would certainly make a great location for a long weekend skiing.
