First time in Flaine and only 3rd time skiing but definitely chose the right resort for spring skiing and what a superb apartment to stay in during our holiday - a luxurious complex with such comfortable accommodation and facilities.
The locker rooms on the 3rd floor were ideal and the opportunity to ski-in/ski-out was ideal. The staff were so helpful and they even managed to accommodate our friends in the apartment next door. We used the bakery delivery service each morning and the shuttle bus service one evening to take 8 of us to L'Ancolie. Expensive but we deserved it after a hard days skiing!
The four of us were so comfortable in our apartment. Our two teenagers shared the twin-bedded room with en-suite shower and we had our own facilities in our double room. We were just delighted by the apartment as soon as we arrived. The south facing balcony was a real bonus as we had beautiful sunny weather so were able to spend late afternoons/early evenings enjoying the last remaining sun rays whilst looking at the spectacular views over Flaine and chatting over the days skiing stories.
We drove to Flaine (staying overnight in Reims (going) Dijon(coming back). The journey was stress free and enabled us to bring lots of provisions with us so we were able to cook in the well provided for kitchen most evenings and then enjoy the rest of the evening drinking copious amounts of red wine/beer!
This apartment is so well placed for all the amenities that the Mont Soleil complex has to offer. If you fancy some wild apres ski evenings then both Flaine Foret and Forum are also walkable (although the shuttle bus service is a much more civilised way to travel). Have to say that we were too tired in the evenings to travel far but as the apartment was so comfortable that was no hardship.
The Mont Soleil complex itself is the perfect place to stay for skiing in the Grand Massif area. We will definitely be back. Can't wait.

APARTMENT FLAINE MONTSOLEIL RESORT
Review Submitted: September 3, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
Unlike most previous reviewers we rented the apartment for the w/c 8/8/09 as part of a three week holiday touring France .We planned to use the week for a break from travelling and to do some walking, as we are keen walkers and are used to walking in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
On arrival we found the welcome from resort staff very friendly and helpful. Our first impressions of the apartment were very positive, as it had been serviced to a very high standard with a welcome pack for the kitchen, complimentary towels (including pool towels) bathrobes and slippers and sufficient supplies of high quality toiletries etc to last the week
In the compact kitchen area, we were able to self-cater for four adults for breakfast and the evening meal every day, and the compensation of eating both meals with the stunning view from the balcony morning and evening, was a definite highlight of the holiday. The generous provision of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils, meant we could make full use of the dishwasher provided.
We found the bedrooms very comfortable and with two en-suite bathrooms adequate for the needs of four adults. The facility to have a hot bath or make use of the Jacuzzi, pool, steam room and sauna after a strenuous days walking was a real pleasure .The resort gym and the equipment was of a high standard and whilst making use of it you were able to enjoy the same stunning views.
The free classical music concerts given at the Auditorium most evenings were an added bonus, these were given by students from the international classical music school

Summer Stay - July 2009
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
This is the view of a family of parents with two boys, 18 and 15, who stayed in this apartment for a week in July 2009.
The apartment is exactly as described on the website. We expected a very high standard and were not disappointed. In addition to the very comfortable and clean accommodation we enjoyed the setting and the view. The balcony was large and private with a lovely south facing aspect. The beds were comfortable and the bedroom layout afforded all of us peace and privacy. The kitchen was well equipped. Wireless broadband was free and worked well. As well as all that the owners were very pleasant to deal with.
We arrived on the day the Residence opened for the summer season. Reception staff were very welcoming. Despite having a relatively low occupancy during our week the Residence organised a varied activity programme which was free and catered for all age groups. We concentrated on guided mountain walks (very knowledgeable and friendly leaders). Facilities in the Residence are as described on the website - outdoor pool at 30 deg c. Teenagers liked the fitness room.
Flaine itself was very quiet during our week. One of the grocery shops was open and a couple of restaurants. There are enough restaurants nearby (e.g. Les Carroz at 13km). If walking nearby is not enough then there is plenty to do and see within 30 mins by car. Make sure to have a good map. Teenagers had enough to do without even trying the golf course.
This apartment was perfect for us. We enjoyed our walks in the immediate area (don't miss out on the farm/cheese shop/restaurant at the artificial lake) and our wider explorations (don't miss out on Sixt Fer a Cheval and Annecy). If the area suits then this apartment comes highly recommended - by us, at least.

My family and I spent a wonderful week at Montsoleil. The apartment is very well thought out, comfortable and well equipped, with welcomed little extras like white fluffy towelling robes for use after the outdoor heated pool. Being able to ski straight out of the complex and back was a treat. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a fabulous skiing holiday, great views and a home from home. We will be back.

The apartment is well located with respect to the ski slopes. It is a true ski in - ski out apartment with the main ski Flaine area just one lift away. The apartment fits really well two couples. To our surprise it was well constructed, in such a way that you do not hear any noise/sounds of other apartments or fellow travellers. The property was clean and it was a nice surprise that it was cleaned half-way the week. The supermarket is close by and the reception also allows you to order bread for in the morning. Great experience!

Review Submitted: March 14, 2009

First impressions were of a warm, comfortable and welcoming apartment - very clean and new-looking.
Very convenient access from the car park - on the same level and only half a corridor away. Brilliant that it had indoor parking - we watched unfortunates digging their cars out of two feet of snow at the end of the week!
Kitchen very well equipped - compact and a pleasure to use - multi function oven good - but a microwave would have been a good addition. Dish washer good - fridge nice and big.
We holidayed with our daughter and her partner - so the completely separate bedrooms with ensuite facilities were perfect. We had the double bedroom with bath/washbasin/wc and there was a shower over the bath too - while they had the twin bedroom with shower/ washbasin/wc. Lovely views from the bedroom windows.
The living area was comfortable - great to spend an afternoon with a book when the weather closed in. There was plenty of storage space for ski jackets in the hallway. The balcony was a very good size - with table and four chairs and still space to build a snowman ! The views over Flaine were spectacular when the mist permitted ! It was lovely to look across the valley and see the pistes we had skied.
It was also possible to look down and check how many people were in the pool before racing down to take advantage of quiet times. The pool was lovely and warm - amazing to swim outside with steam rising around you and snow falling !! My daughter and I were inspired - after two days of falling snow - to get out of the pool and make "snow angels" in the snow at the side of the pool - a truly exhillarating experience !!
The jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were also good - if you timed it right to avoid peak times.
Access to the ski slopes was brilliant - up in the lift to level 3 - into the locker room - and straight out onto the snow - a short distance to pole along - then a gentle drift down to a chair lift - which took us high enough to ski down into Flaine to connect with all other main lifts and routes. The ski home was good too - truly ski to door !
Reception staff were helpful - and the service of being able to pre-order bread etc for the mornings was very welcome.
Supermarket (Spar) ten mins walk away and 15 mins back (uphill) - one on site somewhere would have been really good.
All in all - this is the best ski apartment we have stayed in in 17 years of ski hols. Highly recommended !

We stayed in a fantasticly decorated appartment. Everything was clean, lovely made beds, big luxurious towels and bathrobes. From the car to the apartment was 10 meters, from the skilocker to the snowpiste was also 10 meters. You could just ski away and return, without having to carry your skies. Everthing in the apartment was lovely. Nothing was missing. Even tablets for the dishwasher were provided. The children and adults loved to stay in the pool and the sauna after skiing all day. The walk to the village was nice, just 15 minutes. Great way to relax after dining out. But staying at home and cooking was also very nice.
