Introduction
Click here for a Virtual Tour of UCPA Flaine Lindars 360 Views.
Flaine UCPA is a very comfortable centre, just 150m from the piste yet also steps away from the centre of town. It is a large building with the restaurant, bar and nightclub/entertainment room all on one level. The bar is particularly nice with a central fireplace and seating all round. If it gets too hot inside you can always step outside onto the sun terrace overlooking the slopes! The ski / board hire and store room is just across the road.

Food description
The food is served buffet style each day. Breakfast is yogurts, cereals, fruit juice, coffee and bread - don't be surprised to see that the coffee, tea or hot chocolate is taken French style - a soup bowl!
Lunch is a buffet with a choice of salads, hot dishes, cheese, deserts.
Dinner is a 4 course buffet - typically a salad bar style starter, choice of 3 or 4 main courses - most often including fish, cheese selection, fruit, dessert and ice-cream freezer.
Any special dietry requirements should be made known to reception staff at check-in. Generally vegetarians will find a wide enough choice within the buffet.
Entertainment

The UCPA staff lay on an entertainment program each week. It's certainly not Butlins and there is no pressure to take part - all quite low key. Typical program would include stretching in the early evening, crepe making, quiz, sketch evening, karaoke and some evenings a live band.
Equally in the town there is a great selection of bars & nightclubs to suit all tastes.
History
UCPA is more than 40 years old, and was originally set-up by the French government to encourage young people to enjoy the outdoors. It is now a "not for profit" organisation with all profits being put back into refurbishing the centres.
The ethos of sport is still first on the agenda, but the instructors and centre staff don't forget that it is still your holiday.
Useful facts
The resort is officially car free, but you are allowed through the barriers for 1hr30mins to unload at the door of UCPA Flaine, after this time you must park your car in one of the car parks. The car park at the bottom of the hill (15min walk back up) is free-of-charge otherwise it is approx €8 per day.
