About the Resort

"Flaine is located in France, in the Haute-Savoie region, close to Geneva and the Mont-Blanc. Le Grand Massif, is one of the largest ski areas in the French Alps. Its situation, close to Geneva airport, and the doorstep skiing accommodation, allows you to be on the slopes in just a few hours. Snow heights and the quality of its slopes draws tens of thousands of skiers a year. Its location also makes it an ideal place for short-ski breaks.

The resort centre is set aside for pedestrians. All of the services, shops, accommodation and ski runs are never more than a few steps away so both young and old can get around the resort without a care in the world. Even though created in the sixties, it offers all possible benefits to the modern skier:

• Pedestrian centre with links between the different levels of the resort.
• Cable car and gondola lift stations on the same level as the ski runs.
• Technical tunnel network : not a single electric cable is visible from the exterior;
• A non-polluting gas heating plant (the first one in the mountains)." - Flaine Website

There are a number of bars and restaurants to chill out in after a hard day's skiing although this tends to be a more family orientated resort where relaxation after ski is the priority.

Tour Operators

"Flaine is often overlooked by British skiers, yet it offers some of the best skiing in France. Many visitors return year after year to enjoy the fantastic Grand Massif ski area in the Haute Savoie, with over 265kms of dazzling ski runs. Lying in a vast open snow bowl, the resort is renowned for excellent snow conditions and plenty of sunny days. Flaine is compact and purpose-built, with the village divided between two levels. Flaine Forum is the traffic free heart of the resort and is linked to Flaine For?t by two free funiculars, operating all day and night." - Crystal Ski

"At the heart of the Grand Massif ski area, Flaine is set in a sunny bowl with an excellent snow record and connects with a surprisingly large ski area, thus cutting down on lift queues. The skiing is varied and extensive. You can either stay in the immediate bowl or cross the rim and drop down to one of the four other neighbouring ski villages of Les Carroz, Morillon, Sixt and Samoens. Particularly popular with British skiers, Flaine is an excellent choice for families." - Thomson Ski
