Haha!! After all this I've just read my bank provides free European travel insurance… Hmm, does it include winter sports…


It probably does!

ours does, it covers myself and spouse and we have to pay about £50.00 extra to add 2 children.

Reading this you'd wonder why anyone ever goes skiing in France and why this has never been raised before.

I know that they don't care about cleaning up after their dogs like we allegedly do (there's some pretty irresponsible people over here too) but it's not a case of dodging-the-do really.

I personally have been lucky and haven't seen it on the slopes. It might be because I've not stayed slopeside except in Les Saisies where the other people were mostly Belgian, so presumably didn't bring dogs because of the distance.
Don't let it put you off altogether Emma.

I can't believe you can get accommodation that allows dogs to be honest.... Perhaps if it belongs to you you can do what you like.

Flaine
Started by User in Beginning Skiing, 8 Replies
Have been 4 times to Grand Massif in April. Snow has always been fine over the whole area and Flaine in particular still very good, although expect it to be rather wet at the end of the day right in the bottom where the DMC goes from and where all the shops/bars are.

The only problem you might get higher up is some of the more exposed runs being closed due to the wind having blown the snow off - but that could happen at any time of the season.

We do diy so always buy our passes independently (got a family pass online last year, saved about €60)

Don't know anything about accommodation In Flaine, we've skied there, but never stayed there.

Had a text from my sister this morning, she's in Les Arcs - said they had 6 inches of new snow last night.

Disgusting, disgusting......
I've know they don't have the same attitude to dogs and dog sh*t as us in UK, but surely they can't see that as anything but totally revolting.

How's the skiing?
