Flaine is a family-friendly car-free resort, with all the shops, services and amenities grouped together just a stone’s throw from all accommodations. For your convenience, there is also a free resort shuttle bus service. Flaine is the largest of the Grand Massif ski villages (other being Samoens, Morillon/Morillon 1100, Les Carroz, Sixt fer a Cheval) and is in continuous renewal and expansion. This lively resort at 1,600m already attracts lots of ski enthusiasts and has become even more sought after during recent years thanks to the construction of more high-quality, modern and stylish residences.
Flaine ski resort is part of one of the largest skiing areas in France: the Grand Massif. With one of the best snow records in the French Alps (and the most snow-sure), Flaine is very often called the ‘Big Snowy Bowl’. Because of this, skiers and snowboarders will enjoy excellent ski conditions all winter, along with stunning scenery.
Flaine is conveniently close to Geneva airport (1hr 15 minutes by car) and with snow on the doorstep of most accommodations, Flaine is also described as a ‘Fly-in, Ski-out resort’. Flaine is one of the most easily accessible resorts in the French Alps.
Flaine and the Grand Massif were the first ski area in the world to bear the Green Globe certification; a recognition of the efforts made by companies and organisations that are committed to sustainable tourism.
‘Le Flaine Historique’ was awarded the "20th Century Heritage" label by the French Minister of Culture. Flaine’s ecumenical chapel is classified as a "Historic Monuments". "Le Flaine" and "Bételgeuse" buildings are listed on the "Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments in France".
