One of the largest ski areas The Grand Massif is one of the largest ski areas situated at the heart of the Upper Savoy region of the Northern Alps, between Geneva and Chamonix. 5 linked ski resorts ranging from 700 m to 2500 m in altitude: Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and Sixt. The Les Carroz ski resort at 1140 m in altitude is the most easily accessible of them all. From december, the 12th 2015 to April, the 17th 2016

While not as fancy as Chamonix or Megeve, we found this resort after touring most of the others in the area. Lots of choices, part of the Grand Massif domain that unites 4 different resorts, hundreds of kilometers of slopes combined, plenty of after ski activities.
3. Lac Vert

Reviewed By Arbuthnott C - Kensington, Australia
After months of uncertainty, with the restaurant closed and rumours of no re-opening this year, the restaurant is open again as of today. With only 2 weeks notice, and us arriving more than an hour before opening time, this review is based on potential.
The new management is charming, helpful, and full of ideas and ambition. Hopefully the Commune de Passy, owners of the facility, will provide the resources to allow them to make a success of this wonderful location.
We look forward to being impressed when we next visit.
Passy, please pay attention!

The falls themselves look rather stunning. But it's really nothing you can spend a lot of time on. Get there, take a couple of pictures and off you go. 15 minutes top

Pleasant uphill walk alongside a wooded gorge. There are no really steep parts of the path, but it is a fairly relentless steady rising path which includes steps and Bridges. Anyone with mobility problems should think carefully before going. Saying that, you can turn around at any point along the walk to return to the entrance, and there are several benches along the route. I have a bad back but I managed to walk almost to the waterfall by using waking poles, although my back was suffering a bit on the return journey. The walkways are quite narrow and not suitable for prams or small children.
The walk takes about an hour each way and takes you up a gorge with a river and woodland. The path is largely by wooden and steel walkways and steps. The scenery was pretty rather than dramatic but it was a pleasant change from the mountain scenery that surrounds Chamonix and it would be a useful trip to know about on a cloudy day when the Mountains lose their appeal!
The entrance fee includes reduced prices for "Seniors" and because there were no ages specified I declared myself a senior, at 62 years old and this was not questioned. I would never lie about my age but unless stated otherwise I have always assumed that concessions apply to 60+.
The gorge is well signed from the N205 junction 24, but it is worth noting the return directions using Google maps beforehand, as the return signings are poor. I decided to do just that before we left home so if it helps anyone these directions worked well.
TO RETURN TO N205 and Chamonix:
Turn right at bottom of gorge road.
Turn left at first cross roads where road surface turns pink!
Drive through village to roundabout, take 2nd exit (left) signed Le Fayet/Chamonix.
Straight on taking right bend signed Chamonix/St Gervais.
Under railway bridge and turn left.
Right over bridge signed Chamonix/Les Houches.
Keep left at fork signed Chamonix and join N205.
7. Le White Pub

Situated in Flaine Forum this was one of the original restaurant bar and probably the nearest to a pub. It doesn't have the mountain atmosphere of say the Michet a few hundred yards away but ideal if you are young and don't mind the noisy environment and average food. OK for basics such as steaks etc. Open in the ski season and mid summer months and good place for after ski drinks. Near the funicular to Flaine Foret.

After walking the Cirque du Fer a Cheval, Cascade de Rouget was a bit of an anticlimax. But it is easily accessible by car, you don't even need to leave the car to see it if you don't want to.
If you are in Sixt Fer a Cheval, it only takes a few minutes to drive there so do go and have a look.
