Flaine accomodation advice please

Friends are planning to go to Flaine at half term in 2011 nd we plan on joining them. We are a family of 5 who have all skied at least 10 times. I find Flaine accomodation in terms of ski access a bit complex. We want to avoid getting on buses, into the car or long walks to lifts. So places like Hameau look nice and well built the 2km trek to and fro is off-putting (ditto for Refuge du Golf). Mont Soleil also looks good (alebit top end for us)and does seem to have access to the lifts but not sure how easy to get back (but still hassle getting food and drink back from the supermarket in the village). All the newer places like Terrasses de Veret look nice but are not in the centre and the centre itself looks a bit grotty. My brain hurts with it all - any advice from folks who have been. Ta Mark

I've stayed in the Hameau and after crossing the road I skied down the trail to the main lifts each day. Bus back was no big deal and the Hameau is pretty.

Some of the original apartment blocks in Flaine have recently been modernised, and look quite acceptable internally.

Also stayed in Morrillon which was very easy access, but accomm was very dirty. I made the best of it! Don't be tempted to stay in Morrillon 1100 unless you have a car with you, it's a bit isolated.
