The vast majority of accommodation in Flaine and the lower villages is in apartments, some of which are very smart with pools, saunas and hot tubs. Hotels are few and far between but there are some enticing ones.
Unless stated otherwise, prices are per person, based on two sharing a double or twin room, half-board, for seven nights, including flights and transfers.
