Report this content

This winter sees the opening of a brand new 5* Premium residence in Flaine Montsoleil; Les Terrasses d’Helios, an offering from Pierre & Vacances in line with their strategy to introduce great value luxury accommodation to Flaine, a favourite resort of Brits in search of superb skiing at great value.

Pierre & Vacances Premium brand has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2010 and now makes up over 50% of the accommodation favoured by the UK market. The brand was introduced to showcase the finest properties in the company’s portfolio with traditionally designed alpine buildings and the added value of spas and personalised services to match the expectations of an increasingly sophisticated customer.

The new Les Terrasses d’Helios residence is in a ski in ski out position with 119 light, airy apartments decked out with retro furniture and a twist of traditional alpine charm. The apartments can sleep four to eight people and all feature either a balcony or terrace to enjoy the views from. The vast majority are spacious 2 bedroom apartments ideal for family living. Some apartments also come with a fireplace and chimney so guests can cosy up after a long day exploring Flaine’s vast ski area.

The hamlet of Montsoleil sits above the entrance to Flaine Forum and is connected by chairlift and piste. There is a regular ski shuttle bus and a private navette service in the evenings if the 1km walk to Flaine’s lively resort centre is too much for tired ski legs. The new residence joins the existing sister residence Les Terrasses d’Eos. These 2 properties combined add an exciting new dimension to the hamlet of Flaine Montsoleil. Both share the same access to the resort and ski area and a collection of amenities on site including a restaurant, shops and a new Deep Nature Spa, with treatment rooms, relaxation room, sauna, steam rooms and indoor heated swimming pool.

Flaine is part of the Grand Massif ski area, together with four other villages in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps. The Grand Massif offers 265 km of skiing, with an impressive 37 black runs, 132 red runs, 140 blue runs and 42 green runs. The multitude of red and blue runs means it’s particularly great for intermediate-level enthusiasts to practice and hone their skills and there are excellent nursery slopes and progressive runs for beginners. For more intrepid skiers the Flaine bowl, in the shadow of Mont Blanc, offers spectacular off piste skiing, which can be explored with a local mountain guide. The ski area also offers five terrain parks, making it a fantastic all-round resort for skiers and snowboarders of all levels

As the Grand Massif’s largest resort there’s always plenty going on in Flaine town. Cars are banned in the resort centre making it safe for children and easy for guests to freely wander around the shops, bars and restaurants. The resort is built on three levels which are connected through a system of free lifts; the busiest area is Flaine Forum (situated at 1600m), with Flaine Foret at 1700m. Flaine Montsoleil (where the new apartments are situated) is a separate, newer village at 1700m and Flaine Hameau, a collection of Scandinavian style chalets is located at 1800m. Flaine prides itself on being a family friendly resort and offers superb facilities and great prices. It’s also a short convenient transfer from Geneva airport. The destination subsequently attracts many British families.

By staying in self-catering Flaine apartments guests can enjoy the first-class skiing and sports and explore all the restaurants and activities that Flaine has to offer; from snowshoeing and dog sledding to ice skating and driving, there’s always something new to try.

Pierre & Vacances 5* Les Terrasses d’Helios Apartments retain Flaine’s propensity to provide great value whilst introducing a new level of comfort and quality to the resort. Book now and save up to 15% on premium winter accommodation. 7 night’s accommodation in a 1 bedroom self-catering apartment sleeping up to 4 people starts from £675 (was £794), arriving on 13th December 2014.
