Flaine Summary

Part of the extensive Grand Massif ski area, Flaine is a modern, high altitude resort with a variety of ski terrain for all standards. Although the architecture is uncompromisingly modern, the setting is extremely scenic and the centre is mainly car free. Self-catering accommodation features highly here so the resort has all essential amenities for your stay and has also been awarded the ‘Famille Plus Montagne’ by the French Tourist Board in recognition of its facilities for children and families.

Beginners and confident intermediates have lots to keep them happy here with excellent nursery slopes at village level which are served by free lifts, and a variety of reasonably snow sure red and blue runs stretching over a wide area.

Off the slopes, you can go ice-driving, snow mobiling or dog sledding and there is also a sports hall, ice rink and cinema. Apres ski can be quite lively with some karaoke, live music and a nightclub on offer. There is also a late-opening bowling alley and a choice of family-friendly restaurants.
