ve booked easter flights early April and was going to wait until nearer the time to book a room to check snow conditions .
I waited nearly a whole month and found out im not very good at waiting.

So ive narrowed it down to the Grand massif due to closeness to Geneva and resort Altitude .

Ive found a couple of places in Flaine and quite a few more in Morrillon .

Are there bars where we could watch a few football matches or just use the wifi
Are there any inexpensive Pizzerias etc
I'm worried my son getting bored of an evening ,thats why i,m leaning more towards Flaine as oppose the the other resorts as they look busier ??

The other plus points to flaine ,the accomadation is near the lift and i can get a direct shared transfer ,where the other resorts i would have to hire a car

thanks nick

Flaine's a good choice for Easter; Morillon not so much.

Morillon's nice, being an actual village, and has some great skiing that's often very quiet (even when the rest of the Massif is busy), but it's 500m lower than Flaine. Flaine has a good late-season snow record by contrast. Also, if you're in Morillon and all the snow's in Flaine then you've got a fair old slog on slushy, chopped-up and probably busy pistes to get there and back.

There certainly used to be a couple of reasonable pizzerias in Flaine but beware the on-mountain prices; total rip-off in some of the mountain snack stops/restos so check the price list before ordering anything or pack your own lunch! :evil:

HTH,

p.s. and if your 14-yr-old has enough energy to be bored in the evening... then you're not skiing enough! 8)
